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.

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.
