Processing and production method of peach gum:

The main ingredient of the original peach gum is macromolecular polysaccharides, which are not easily soluble in water, but have good water absorption, and the volume can be soaked more than 10 times. The original peach gum removes impurities, and becomes a small molecule polysaccharide after hydrolysis, decolorization, etc., which is commercial peach gum. The purpose of hydrolysis is to turn insoluble macromolecular polysaccharides into dissolvable small polysaccharides, which are convenient for industrial use.

Commercial peach gum can play a role in thickening, emulsifying, coagulation and other effects in food, and the function of another common gum is similar. Since gum arabic needs to be imported, it is more expensive, so peach gum is a cheap substitute for it. In Japan, peach gum can be used as a food additive.

Therefore, if it is found that the peach gum is free of impurities, the particles are uniform, and the color and size have a fixed form, then it may be a fake peach gum.

2. Color. Put the peach gum in a place with strong light, such as under the lamp to observe the color of the peach gum, the better quality of the peach gum, the color is amber, on the contrary, the color is gray and black, it means that the quality of the peach gum is poor.
