Abstract

The gum exuded by a cultivar of Leucaena leucocephala growing in South India has been analysed. Its analytical parameters indicate that it is similar to gum arabic. The physico-chemical properties of aqueous solutions (good solubility, viscosity and colour) suggest that Leucaena gum would have useful commercial applications; its stability in acidic solutions is better than that of gum arabic.
