This extraordinary gift from nature exceeds all synthetic imitators in the quality of emulsions it forms.

Gum Arabic, or acacia gum, is the resin exuded by Acacia Senegal trees. The taping and harvesting of the trees in the semi-arid regions of the Sudan are colorful but physically demanding activities that are vital to the economy of the country. Several million people must be mobilized to make the industry function effectively.

Gum Arabic is a superior emulsion former that has no substitute among synthetic additives. It provides excellent shelflife stability to oil-in-water emulsions and does not mask flavours with a filmy texture or off-flavour on the tongue.

Produce of nature, Gum Arabic is 95% soluble fiber calculated on a dry basis.
Its calorific value is arguably less than half that of starches and maltodextrins.
