Arabic gum is most frequently used in the food industry as a stabilizer, especially in oil in water emulsions. It can also add stability to foam for beverages such as beer and soft drinks. It is edible and sometimes mentioned under its E number, E414. However, its uses do not end with the food industry. Acacia gum is also used in other domains, such as printing, paint production, glue, cosmetics and has even industrial applications. Some Arab populations also use the acacia gum in order to make a gelato-like dessert. It comes as no surprise that given its many uses and versatility in various domains, the popularity of Arabic gum has steadily increased. Whereas in the far past it was used only in Africa and Middle-east, now acacia gum is exported all over the world and the majority of the world’s countries take advantage of its many uses. Our company has long been involved in the harvest and supply of Arabic gum, offering only high quality products to its clients, while at the same time taking into account their needs and the domains in which they aim to use acacia gum.
Moreover, apart from its functional properties, Arabic gum also plays an important role when it comes to maintaining a healthy diet. It is a great source of soluble dietary fiber and thanks to its low viscosity it has been used to increase fiber levels in foods and beverages, without making a drastic change to the overall viscosity of the product.
