Natural gums are a group of plant products, formed primarily due to the disintegration of plant
cellulose. This process is known as gummosis. Gums are produced by members of a large number of
families but commercial exploitation is restricted to a few tree species of Leguminosae, Sterculiaceae
and Combretaceae families. The important gum yielding trees are Acacia nilotica (babul), A. catechu
(khair), Steruculia urens (kullu), Anogeissus latifolia (dhawra), Butea monosprma (palas), Bauhinia
retusa (semal), Lannea coromandelica (lendia), and Azadirachta indica (neem). Gum is also
extracted from seeds of certain plants like guar, tamarind, cassia tora etc. Guar gum is the prominent
seed based natural gum.
