Product description

Eastman™ Ester Gum 8WA-M kosher is a pale, thermoplastic glycerol ester of rosin. It is produced by means of a steam stripping process that yields a low-odor resin suitable for use in beverage applications. This resin is produced from glycerin from non-animal origin and gum rosin harvested from pine trees. All kosher products produced by Eastman are manufactured under rabbinical supervision in full accordance with Jewish dietary law.

Eastman™ Ester Gum 8WA-M kosher is recommended for use as clouding and weighting agent for citrus-flavored non-alcoholic beverage concentrates.
