Glycerol Ester of Gum Rosin (GEGR), also known as Glyceryl Rosinate or Ester Gum, is an oil-soluble food additive made by esterifying rosin with edible glycerol.
Due to its high density, GEGR helps keep oils suspended in water, making it a popular choice as a beverage stabilizer. It is widely used as a base ingredient in the production of chewing gum and also serves as a common alternative to brominated vegetable oil in citrus-flavored soft drinks. In some cases, both ingredients are used together to achieve the desired effect.
FDA-approved (172.735), GEGR is a key component in maintaining stability in food and beverage formulations, especially in oil-based products.
Glyceryl Rosinate, also called Glycerol Ester of Gum Rosin (GEGR) or Ester Gum, is anoil-soluble food additive. Its high density helps keep oils in suspension in water and this property is the reason why it is often used as a beverage stabilizer. It iswidely used as a base in the production of chewing-gum. It also serves as analternative to brominated vegetable oil in citrus oil flavored soft drinks. In some cases both ingredients are used together.

Industrial Grade Glyceryl Rosinate, also known as Glycerol Ester of Gum Rosin (GEGR), is a polyol ester of rosin commonly used in specialty industries such as adhesives, coatings, and paints. It is also widely applied in the production of various polymers, including EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), acrylics, polyurethanes, SIS (styrene-isoprene-styrene), and SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene).
