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.
