Tragacanth gum is one of oldest known natural emulsifiers. The substance is an exudate obtained from the Astragalus species of shrub, an evergreen, which is found in Iran, Asia Minor and Syria.
Tragacanth gum may rarely induce allergy symptoms in sensitised individuals. Asthma and contact dermatitis have been described. Excess ingestion can result in diarrhoea, abdominal pain, gas production or constipation.
