Gum Ghatti (Dhavda Gum) – Nature’s Multi-Tasking Hydrocolloid

Gum Ghatti is a plant-derived hydrocolloid obtained from the Anogeissus latifolia tree, known locally as the Dhawda tree. It stands out as a naturally emulsifying, stabilizing, and thickening agent, surpassing traditional gums like Gum Arabic across food, pharmaceutical, oilfield, and industrial applications.

At Dharma Hydrocolloid, we specialize in precision-processed Gum Ghatti that meets global quality standards while maintaining clean-label credentials and sustainable sourcing practices.
