Product Description

Gum arabic , also known as acacia gum, chaar gund, char goond, or meska, is a natural gum made of hardened sap taken from two species of the acacia tree; Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal. The gum is harvested commercially from wild trees throughout the Sahel from Senegal and Sudan to Somalia, although it has been historically cultivated in Arabia and West Asia. Gum arabic, a complex mixture of polysaccharides and glycoproteins, is used primarily in the food industry as a stabilizer. It is edible and has E number E414. Gum arabic is a key ingredient in traditional lithography and is used in printing, paint production, glue, cosmetics and various industrial applications, including viscosity control in inks and in textile industries, although less expensive materials compete with it for many of these roles. While gum arabic is now produced mostly throughout the African Sahel, it is still harvested and used in the Middle East.    



 

It is mainly used as thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier, coating agent glaze. This product is widely used in beverage production, such as the production of soft drinks, juice concentrate flavor and essential oils which can be stabilized. It is also used in candy making, like traditional hard (liquor) chicle, soft candy, cotton candy. It could also be used as foam stabilizer. 

1. Food industry

Gum Arabic used to be the most widely used and used hydrosol in the food industry. Gum Arabic can also be widely used in beverage production, for example in the production of soft drink concentrate it can stabilize flavor and essential oils. It is also used in confectionery, such as traditional hard gummy and marshmallow, and as a foam stabilizer for marshmallows. Gum Arabic, a mixture of galactose oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and proteoglycans, supplements the body with cellulose. Gum Arabic has good emulsifying properties, especially suitable for oil-in-water emulsifying system, widely used as emulsifying stabilizer in emulsifying essence; It also has good film-forming characteristics; It is used as a microcapsule film forming agent to convert essential oils or other liquid ingredients into powder form, which can prolong flavor quality and prevent oxidation. It is also used as an essence carrier for baking products. Gum Arabic can block the formation of sugar crystals, used in confectionery as an anti-crystallization agent to prevent crystal precipitation, can also effectively emulsify the milk fat in the candy, to avoid overflow; Also used on the surface of chocolate, so that chocolate is only soluble in the mouth, not soluble in the hand; In carbonated drinks such as cola, gum Arabic is used for emulsifying and dispersing essential oil and oil-soluble pigment, so as to avoid the pigment ring at the bottleneck caused by the floating of essential oil and pigment during storage. Gum Arabic is also used as a fogging agent for beverages, such as vegetable oils and resins, to increase the variety of beverage appearance. Nutritionally, gum Arabic does not produce heat, is a good water-soluble dietary fiber, is used in health products candy and beverages. Medically, gum Arabic also has the ability to lower cholesterol in the blood. Gum Arabic is also widely used in other industries. The application in food industry can be summarized as: natural emulsifying stabilizer, thickening agent, suspending agent, adhesive, film-forming agent, glazing agent, water-soluble dietary fiber, etc.

2. Printing industry

The printing plate is mainly rubbed with gum Arabic. Gum Arabic is a solid crystalline substance that, when soaked in water, absorbs water and expands, eventually becoming a viscous colloidal solution. The liquid colloidal wipe on the plate to wait for moisture evaporation, the liquid will return to the original solid adsorption on the plate. Its role is to dry the glue, cover the surface of a hardened film, the printing plate and air isolation, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing oxidation. Gum Arabic contains Arabic acid (x-cooh), which is a good cleaning agent for greasy surfaces, which is even more useful when dried. After rubbing gum Arabic on the layout, the glue liquid contact with the inorganic salt layer of the layout, forming a better hydrophilic film, improve the hydrophilicity of the layout.
