Description
An impure form of dextrin prepared from starch that is hydrolyzed by roasting at 150C (300F) without the use of acid. These high temperatures produce a dark colored dextrin that is used in industry as a paper adhesive. British gum is soluble in warm water and it is typically used in concentrations of 10-35%. British gum gives a reddish-brown color in iodine.
