Gumix Gum Arabic (Acacia)

Gumix Gum Arabic (Acacia) is the dried, gummy exudate from the stems or branches of Acacia senegal, seyal, or related species. The trees which produce commercial grades of Gum Arabic grow in different parts of Africa. To accelerate exudation, the bark is cut and the exudate allowed to dry, forming “tears” which are collected by hand every 10 days during the dry season, which varies from October to June. The product is then cleaned and milled or spray dried. In producing spray dried Gum Arabic, the gum solution is first clarified by centrifugation, then filtered, pasteurized in the case of enzyme-inactivated gum, and finally spray dried and subsequently screened for particle size uniformity.
