- Jigat powder, also spelled as Jigit powder or sometimes referred to as Joss powder (though they are not the same), is a substance commonly used in the production of incense sticks, particularly in India.
- Composition: Jigat powder is primarily composed of finely ground charcoal dust or wood powder. It may also contain natural adhesive resins or binders that help in holding the incense stick together.
- Cultural Significance: Jigat powder is widely used in traditional Indian incense making, particularly in the production of masala incense sticks. These sticks are made by blending various aromatic ingredients with Jigat powder to form a paste, which is then rolled onto bamboo sticks and dried.
- Role in Incense Stick Production: Similar to joss powder, Jigat powder acts as a binding agent in incense stick manufacturing. It is mixed with aromatic materials such as powdered herbs, spices, essential oils, and sometimes other natural substances to create a cohesive paste or dough.
-
Applications: Beyond incense production, Jigat powder is not widely known to have other significant uses. Its primary role remains centered around incense making and related cultural practices in India.
