Products / Markets
Acacia gum is an exudate of the acacia tree. It’s neither sap nor resin. It is either naturally exudated by the tree or following an incision done in the branches of the tree by harvesters. From a chemical point of view, acacia gum is a complex polysaccharide.
Acacia gum: multifunctional by nature!
From cosmetics to confectionery, to carbonated drinks or pharmaceutical products, acacia gum is used in a multitude of everyday products. It can be present as a texture agent, emulsifier, stabilizer, or for its high fiber content. 100% plant based, it also constitutes an alternative of choice for vegetarian and vegan food products.
