To exude or form gum; to become gummy.

Class of colloidal substances that is exuded by plants.

Complex polysaccharidal substances formed by cells in reaction to wounding or infection.

gelatinous, sugary aggregate that is synthesized and exuded by plant tissues

any hydrophilic plant polysaccharides or their derivatives that, when dispersed in water, swell to produce a viscous dispersion or solution. Unlike resins, they are soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol.

a complex polysaccharide of variable composition, swelling in water to form a gel or a viscous solution. Gum, Wound gum produced in the wood of hardwoods and some conifers in response to injury, infection or other `irritation`. See gummosis.

any of various substances (soluble in water) that exude from certain plants; they are gelatinous when moist but harden on drying

any of various trees of the genera Eucalyptus or Liquidambar or Nyssa that are sources of gum

A hollow log beehive, sometimes called a log-gum (Appalachia), made by cutting out that portion of a tree containing bees and moving it to the apiary; since it contains no moveable frames, it is therefore illegal. HAY FEVER: An allergic condition that afflicts many people; caused by various plant particles, airborne fungal spores or pollen.

A water soluble exudate consisting mainly of polysaccharides and used principally as a thickener and as a spray-dried carrier in the manufacture of water soluble fragrance and flavor compounds (Gum Arabic, Agar, etc.)

A sticky substance beneath the coal seam that had to be removed before the coal could be extracted.

Sticky substance obtained from certain shrubs or trees that are the normal medium of watercolor paints, pastels, and tempera. Gum Arabic, from a species of acacia, is most commonly used.

Any of various viscous substances exuded by plants and trees that dries on exposure to air into water-soluble, non-crystalline, brittle solids.

A term covering a wide range of substances. Strictly, gums are carbohydrate high polymers, either soluble or dispersible in water, that are derived from vegetable origins. Loosely, the term gum is used to mean resins, saps, natural rubber, chicle, starch, cellulose derivatives, and many other products. In textile printing, the term refers to print past thickeners.

The resinous material exuded by trees or plants. Strictly speaking a gum is water-soluble, but this term is widely used in the varnish industry to designate those natural resins usually not water-soluble that are obtained from trees.

arabic water-soluble gum obtained from several varieties of acacia and used in textile finishing and in inks, confectionery, pharmacy, and the manufacture of adhesives. hartani (pl., harratin) term referring to freed former slaves. In Arabic, literally "plowman," referring to the low status of harratin.

A plant substance soluble in water.

Any one of a class of colloidal substance exuded by, or extracted from, gum plants.

Sticky, viscous, carbohydrate found in liquid form in plants and certain trees, which dries into an uncrystallized, brittle mass that dissolves or swells in water.

Gum is a sticky substance that is secreted by some plants. Gum hardens when it dries.

A nonvolatile viscous plant exudate which either dissolves or swells up in contact with water; many substances referred to as gums, such as pine and spruce gum, are actually oleoresins; used in making varnishes and paints.

A natural gum, such as gum Arabic or gum tragacanth, used as a binder in glaze to promote better adherence to clay.

The sticky material secreted by some trees

The adhesive lining at the back of an unused stamp.

The adhesive that seals an envelope. The most common envelope gums are: Seal Flap Gum, Back Seam Gum, Patch Gum and Latex Gum.

cement consisting of a sticky substance that is used as an adhesive

The coating of glue on the back of an unused stamp.

Synthetic product placed on the front of the envelope flap called the flap gum. Also placed on both sides of the envelope keeping the product together called the side gum.

The vegetable adhesive used to secure the cap and wrapper.

The mucilage applied to the backs of adhesive postage stamps, revenue stamps or envelope flaps. Gum is an area of concern for stamp collectors. It may crack and harm the paper of the stamp itself. It may stain or adhere to other stamps or album pages under certain climatic conditions. Many collectors are willing to pay extra for 19th- and some 20th-century stamps with intact, undisturbed original gum.

The material used on the back of the stamp to form an adhesive when wetted.

The adhesive coating on the backs of most unused adhesive stamps.

An adhesive made with a plant base to seal paper envelopes. Some gums take moisture to seal, others such as latex gums will adhere to themselves. .

The adhesive coating of glue on the back of a mint stamp.

A vegetable adhesive used to secure the head of the wrapper leaf around the finished bunch.

Adhesive for the hair.

A synthetic rubber produced by polymerization of chloroprene and used in weather-resistant products, adhesives, shoe soles, sportswear, paints, and rocket fuels.

An adhesive applied to the back of a stamp.

the mucilage applied to the back of adhesive stamps, and has its basis crystalline gum arabic. Sometimes, the colour of the gum can be a determining factor in a new printing or variety. Three types of gum have been used on the Elizabathen-era stamps in Canada: dex (generally speaking, it appears "yellow") PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) - white or coloured depending on the paper manufacture Davac - gum is clear and tasteless'Coloured' gum Colour Printer blue-green tinge Harrison white Rolland greyish Peterborough light cream Slater slight blue-green tinge Coated

a preparation (usually made of sweetened chicle) for chewing

the tissue (covered by mucous membrane) of the jaws that surrounds the bases of the teeth

grind with the gums; chew without teeth and with great difficulty; "the old man had no teeth left and mumbled his food"

This coral pink fibrous tissue covers the teeth and roots and supports the bone below. It absorbs the pressure exerted while chewing. Dentists call this the "gingiva". When you brush your teeth after meals and floss daily, you keep this tissue healthy. That's important, because gum disease can cause bone loss. Gum disease can also expose the tooth roots to decay. If root decay affects the pulp, you may need root canal treatment.

The pink tissue around your teeth.

Soft fleshy parts of the mouth in which the teeth are embedded.

See gingiva.

the soft tissue that surrounds the base of the teeth.
