Q: Hydrocolloidal polysaccharides are present in-
  • A. Indian Tragacanth
  • B. Isabgol
  • C. Guar gum
  • D. Pectin
Correct Answer: Option A - Hydrocolloids are a heterogeneous group of long chain polymers (Polysaccharides and proteins) characterised by their property of forming viscous dispersions and/or gel when dispersed in water. Tragacanth as known in India kotare goond is a natural gum obtained from "locoweed" gum. Tragecanth is a viscous odourless, tasteless water soluble mixture of polysaccharides obtained from sap which is drained from the root of the plant & dried.
