Short Description:

Arabic gum CAS 9000-01-5

Arabic gum, also known as Arabic gum, Acacia gum, Aksi gum, Senegal gum, or peach gum. It originates from the exudative solidified substances collected from the trunks of Arabic trees in the genus Acacia. Its application time has been 4000 years. Due to its safety and non toxicity, the dosage is not specified. It appears as yellow to light yellow brown translucent blocks, or white to light yellow particles and powders. The lighter the color, the better the quality. The fresh appearance is smooth, the interior is transparent, odorless, tasteless, and easily soluble in water. It can dissolve in large amounts in hot and cold water, forming a clear and sticky thick liquid. The application in food depends on its protective and stabilizing effect on colloids, its adhesive and thickening properties, its low digestibility in low calorie food formulas, and its role in preventing candy recrystallization and thickening in candy production.
In candies, fat can be evenly distributed throughout the body, preventing the formation of easily oxidizable oily surface layers. In milk products, a large amount of water can be combined and kept in the form of hydration. In the bread pastry, the bread surface can be filled with a smooth feeling, and transparent brighteners, sugar coating and small Dim sum can be made, which can make the sugar coating stable and have the characteristics of free flow and adhesion to the bread surface. It can also be used as flavor retention agent, beverage emulsifier and foam stabilizer of beer.
