D&O Global Integrated Services supplies Gum Arabic / Acacia Gum with the best prices available to importers. Acacia gum is the dried exudation (sap from a tree trunk) obtained primarily from Acacia Senegal (L.), Willdenow var. Senegal (known as ‘gum arabic’, ‘hashab’ or ‘kordofan’) and Acacia Seyal (common name: ‘gum talha’). Our acacia gum is available for purchase and global shipment.
Commercially, Acacia Senegal and Acacia Seyal are the two most important sources of acacia gum for Europe. The tree sources of acacia gum grow in the gum belt of Africa, which stretches from Senegal in the west to Somalia in the east. Acacia gum from Acacia Senegal is a pale to orange-brown coloured solid, which breaks with a glassy fracture, for this reason, it is also known as hard gum, whereas Acacia Seyal is known as flaky gum.
The gum consists of a mixture of arabinogalactan oligosaccharides, polysaccharides and glycoproteins. Acacia gum is very soluble in water (it dissolves easily) and stabilizes combinations of water, oil and other ingredients (emulsions). Flavoured beverages and flavour encapsulation are the main applications of acacia gum.
