So, what is gomme d'ester?
Gomme d'ester, also known as ester gum, is a food ingredient commonly used as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and thickening agent in various food products such as beverages, confectionery, and baked goods. This plant-based ingredient is derived from the esterification of gum rosin with glycerol and is widely recognized for its ability to improve the texture, appearance, and shelf life of food products. Ester gum also provides excellent film-forming properties and can help prevent ingredients from separating. With its versatility and natural origins, gomme d'ester is a popular choice for manufacturers looking to improve the quality and consistency of their products.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
