What It Does

Gum Arabic (also called Acacia Gum) is a natural hydrocolloid obtained from the sap of Acacia trees. It is prized for its ability to stabilize emulsions, improve texture, and serve as a soluble dietary fiber. Common in beverages, candies, and flavor encapsulation, it is also used to reduce crystallization in sugar syrups and enhance shelf life in baked goods.
