Gum Arabic Powder

Gum Arabic, harvested from the sap of Acacia trees, is a powerhouse ingredient with a multitude of uses. Sap is collected by making incisions in the bark. It’s left to harden in the sun, then finely ground into a versatile powder. This natural gum is edible, tasteless, and odourless, making it a hidden gem for various industries.

Gum Arabic powder is known for its film-forming, encapsulating, and suspending abilities, acting as a reliable binder and gelling agent.

How is gum Arabic powder used?

Gum Arabic is an essential ingredient in many sauces, dressings, and dry packaged goods, serving as an emulsifier, stabiliser, and thickening agent. Whether enhancing the texture of soups, instant drinks, and dessert mixes or adding that perfect touch to icing, fillings, and edible glitter for cakes, Gum Arabic does it all. It’s also a key player in beverages, stabilising foams in soft drinks, thickening dairy products, and clarifying alcoholic beverages like wine and beer.

In the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, gum Arabic is valued for its potential health benefits. It’s included in dietary supplements, high-fibre powders, and drinks. You’ll also find it in cough syrups and as a coating for tablets and capsules. Its demulcent properties can soothe inflammation or irritation in the mouth and potentially promote wound healing.
