ACACIA GUM ARABIC GRADE A

Acacia Gum Arabic: Powder (both spray dried & normal milled powder) and Lumps. Gum Arabic; also known as acacia gum, is a natural emulsifier and stabiliser that also gives beverages enhanced mouthfeel and texture. It is derived from the hardened sap of two species of the acacia tree: Senegal and Seyal. Gum Arabic is a complex of glycoproteins and polysaccharides, which mostly consist of arabinose and galactose. It is the protein fraction that gives the gum surface-active properties allowing it to form a colloidal film around oil droplets to act as an emulsifier and for encapsulating flavour. Traditionally used in confectioneries, Gum Arabic is recognized as a key ingredient in beverage production and innovation. Its many functional properties, including a low calorific value, a neutral taste, and its fibre content, make Gum Arabic the perfect natural, clean label ingredient in beverage applications among other applications.
