3. Gum Arabic Specifications
www.mebofarms.com
Gum arabic is a dried exudate obtained from the
stems and branches of Acacia senegal (L.)
Willdenow or Acacia seyal (fam. Leguminosae).
Gum arabic consists mainly of high-molecular
weight polysaccharides and their calcium,
magnesium and potassium salts, which on
hydrolysis yield arabinose, galactose, rhamnose and
glucuronic acid. Items of commerce may contain extraneous materials such as sand and pieces
of bark, which must be removed before use in food.
Description
Gum arabic is a pale white to orange-brown solid, which breaks with a glassy fracture. The best
grades are in the form of whole, spheroidal tears of varying size with a matt surface texture.
When ground, the pieces are paler and have a glassy appearance. Gum arabic (A. seyal) is more
brittle than the hard tears of gum arabic (A. senegal). Gum arabic is also available commercially
in the form of white to yellowish-white flakes, granules, powder, roller dried, or spray-dried
material. An aqueous solution of 1 g in 2 ml flows readily and is acid to litmus.
