TOOTHPASTE – A DAILY NEED
Dental hygiene means keeping teeth, mouth, and gums clean and healthy. Street food consumed by people often tends to be unhealthy to their stomach as well as to oral health. Now excluding these items completely from your diet might be an impossible task but that doesn’t mean your teeth and mouth has to suffer the consequences.
Toothpaste is an important part of our oral hygiene. Hence it is necessary to ensure the usage of the highest quality toothpaste. Industries manufacturing toothpaste need to use ingredients that are sustainable to use in the long run and ensure a long shelf life of the products. Gelling agents are an important part of these industries as they are responsible to maintain the viscosity of the pastes. In today’s scenario, gelling agents like cassia gum powder are most preferred in toothpaste industries due to their easy availability in the market and are beneficial for toothpaste manufacturers.
But it is important to know the benefits of cassia gum powder before diving into its applications.
CASSIA GUM POWDER
Cassia gum is derived from the endosperm of the seed of the Cassia Tora plant. The plant belongs to the Leguminosae family. It mostly grows in India as a wasteland rainy season weed but is also sometimes cultivated on purpose. It is collected in the months from November to January when the plant is ripe. By some industrial processes, the endosperm halves are separated from the husk, which is then milled to obtain Cassia gum powder.
In water, it swells and forms high viscosity aqueous colloids after boiling due to the gelling and thickening properties. The cassia gum is also used in many food products for emulsification, foam stabilization, moisture retention, and texture improvement. In 1995, cassia gum was added to the list of approved food additives in Japan by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare. In 2010, cassia gum received EU approval for human food applications.
