Gum Arabic

Gum Arabic is a dried gummy emulsifying, binding, thickener. The main uses of Arabic are based upon its properties of emulsification, protective action, adhesiveness, thickening, binding, and stabilization. Its major use is in the food industry to impart viscosity, body and texture to a variety of foods. In addition, it is non-toxic, odorless, colorless, tasteless, and completely water-soluble. Arabic prevents sugar crystallization in jujubes and pastilles where sugar content is high and the water is low. In caramels and toffees it prevents the fat from surfacing and forming and easily oxidizable, greasy film. It is also used as a glaze in candy products.
