Description
Gambir extract is a tanning agent extracted from the leaves of the Uncaria Gambir plant, which comes from Asia and only grows approximately 10° north or south of the equator line. The plant, which grows as a wild bush, can also be cultivated. The Gambir extract is won from the leaves, partly without the branches by extraction with water at a temperature of 85-90°C and evaporation. The powder is then made by the spray-dry method.
