General Information:

Gum Arabic Powder, also known as Acacia Gum, is a natural plant-based gum obtained from the hardened sap or exudate of Acacia trees, particularly Acacia senegal. The naturally collected gum is cleaned, processed and finely powdered to provide a convenient ingredient for a wide variety of food, beverage, cosmetic and formulation applications.

Gum Arabic is valued for its excellent binding, stabilizing, thickening and emulsifying properties. It disperses readily in water and has a mild, relatively neutral taste, making it a versatile ingredient for both home and commercial formulations.
