AEP Colloids Gum Arabic / Gum Acacia

AEP Colloids Gum Arabic / Gum Acacia also know as Gum Acacia, comes from the Acacia tree of the Legumiosae family. Falling into the category of plant exudates, this gum is exuded from the tree through breaks or wounds in the bark. Gum Arabic is widely used as a stabilizing agent in oil in water emulsions. In food applications its use as an emulsifier helps to prevent flavor deterioration and evenly distribute a flavor more effectively throughout a product. Aside from its use as an emulsifier, Gum Arabic can add stability to foams (as in beer and soft drinks) as well as creating thin transparent adhesive films for adding flavor to nuts and other products.
