Prunus gum

Prunus. Gums from this genus are often called by the general name cherry gum or the outmoded term Bassora. The latter term has been used to indicate any insoluble or partially soluble gum. Prunus gums have not been as widely utilized as the acacias because of their poor solubility. However, their extremely broad geographic distribution and close association with humans requires that they be tested for in any thorough analysis. Birstein has presented evidence for the use of Prunus... 

Gums are water soluble and tend to be sticky or tacky in texture. Examples include gum arable from Acacia spp. (Mimosaceae), gum tragacanthe, Astragalus spp. (Fabaceae), and prunus gums, Prunus spp. (Rosaceae).

When mucilage is collected in the form of an exudate from shrubs and trees it constitutes what is termed a gum. Many of these gums are used in pharmacy, medicine and the arts. The three most important from a pharmaceutical standpoint are Acacia, yielded by Acacia Senegal and other species of Acacia Tragacantb, yielded by Astragalus gummifer and other Asiatic species of Astragalus and Cherry Gum, obtained from Prunus Cerasus and its varieties. 

Hog gum (caramania gum), obtained from species of Prunus, and sterculia gum have been used in industrial applications as substitutes for tragacanth.

Almond Gum Almond gum is obtained as it extrudes from wounds on almond tree Prunus amygdalus (Rosaceae). It is a water-soluble gum. It contains aldo-bionic acid, L-arabinose, L-galactose, D-mannose, etc. [54]. It is soluble in warm water [64]. The gum consists of different components which give emulsifying, thickening,...
