Details
Gum Arabic is a natural gum that is derived from the hardened sap of two species of the Acacia tree. It is a complex mixture of glycoproteins and polysaccharides, predominantly polymers of arabinose and galactose. The product is soluble in water, edible, and primarily used as a stabilizer in the food industry and soft-drink industry, with E number E414 (I414 in the US).
In addition to its widespread use in food and pharmaceutical industries as a safe thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer, Gum Arabic is also used in various other industrial applications, including traditional lithography, printing, paint production, glue, cosmetics, and the textile industry. It is a rich source of dietary fibers and possesses a broad range of health benefits that have been evidently proved through several in vitro and in vivo studies.
