    • Used as a base for the preparation of spray dried color oleoresins such as annatto, paprika and turmeric.
    • Also used to prepare and stabilize liquid color emulsions.
    • Affords the benefits of soluble fiber without the adverse effects to the organoleptic properties of the food.
    Gluten-Free Baking
    • Gluten-free bread requires polymeric substances that mimic the viscoelastic properties of gluten in bread dough.
    • Research studies have successfully formulated Gluten-free bread by incorporating Gum Arabic, Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC)/Guar Gum and egg albumen into non wheat flours.
    Baking
    • Increases water absorption Increase the maximum dough height and bread volume.
    • Improves toasting characteristics
    • Aids gluten effect
    • Adds soluble dietary fiber
    • Can be used with starch, gelatin, agar and pectin
    • Frozen Dough - incorporating Gum Acacia into frozen dough reduces ice crystallization, thus improving the quality of the finished product.
    Fruit Post Harvest
    • Research shows that the use of 10% Gum Acacia solution increased and enhanced the shelf life of Mangos, Tomatoes and Peppers by more than 20 days.
    • This photo shows a Washington State University researcher adding an edible solution of water and Gum Acacia to a Skeena Cherry processing line to reduce cracking in fresh market cherries.
    Pharmaceutical
    • Used as a binder and as a glaze for pharmaceutical tablets.
