3.6 Applications of Microbial Gums

Оглавление

By virtue of their various properties, microbial gums are utilized in several types of applications in research and industry. In many cases, one microbial gum is used with another gum of either microbial or nonmicrobial origins that results in the enhancement of the final desire property. In this section, we will describe the use of different microbial gums in various sectors. The different types of applications of microbial gums have been mention in Table 3.2.
