  Sclerotium gum ph stability

  Posted by Cdsgames on December 30, 2022 at 5:41 pm

  Hi, 
  I made a formulation that has succinic acid at 1.5% and ethyl ascorbic acid at 1%  with a ph 4.3. We added amigum 0.3% in the end and there was no gelling whatsoever. I seen conflicting data about amigum some say its stable from 5 to 9 ph, others say 3 to 9. Any idea what’s going on?

  You can just add gum+ water and adjust pH to 4.3 and see if it works at that pH.

  If I understand correctly you are asking why you didn’t get any viscosity with sclerotium gum? 

  Check datasheet for Amigum. Recommended input is 0.25 - 2%. You are at the lowest recommended input = not much viscosity will be built. 
  Check datasheets from other suppliers - From top of my head Sclerotium gum needs heat or/and high sheet (homogeniser). 

  Hope this helps?

  Agree with Paprik’s input, I’d also say when you do add it to try and put it in the beginning of the formulation  right after water and maybe chelator addition to give it the best chance to hydrate
