23 Jun 2020 --- Alland & Robert, international supplier of acacia gum, and Biolaffort, a private enology researcher, have teamed up to understand the properties of the 100 percent plant-based natural gum, sometimes referred to as gum arabic. Acacia gum, which is used throughout the food industry to generate texture, emulsify and stabilize, is widely used in winemaking. Its presence, even in small amounts, has been shown to preserve the color of wine, and in the long term, limit the appearance of sediment by stabilizing the coloring matter. Thanks to the collaboration, a deeper technical understanding can be formed, which builds on the tradition of using acacia gum in wine throughout southern Europe’s winemaking countries.
