Gum Arabic Powder

Description

Gum Arabic, also known as acacia gum, is a natural polysaccharide exudate obtained from the stems and branches of Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal trees, native to the Sahel region of Africa. This natural gum appears as a pale yellow to amber, translucent, and brittle solid that breaks into irregular fragments or fine powder, with a mild, neutral taste and odor. Chemically, it is composed of complex polysaccharides and glycoproteins, primarily arabinogalactan proteins, which give it excellent emulsifying, thickening, and binding properties.
