Arabic Gum is produced from the sap of Acacia trees and is rich in water-soluble fiber. Since Arabic Gum is a complex polysaccharide and does not decompose in the small intestine, it is difficult to digest for both humans and animals, but it is fermented in the colon under the influence of microbes.
Arabic Gum is extensively used for industrial purpose, and is primarily used in the food industry as a stabilizer and an emulsifier.
Also, Arabic Gum is used for producing chewing gum, chocolate, and candy. Arabic Gum helps to delay or prevent the formation of sugar crystals, and softens the fat, so that ingridients can be applied on the entire product.
Because of its low water solubility and the characteristic, it keeps baked product moisturized, and adds softness to the product. It is primarily used for baking indutry. Also, Arabic Gum is used as a stabilizer for icecream, since it adds silky texture, and prevents the formation of ice crystals. It can also be applied to beverages, such as citrus juice or beer as an emulsifier.
