Gum Arabic Powder E 414

Gum Arabic Powder E 414

Gum Arabic, also known as acacia gum or Arabic gum, is the dried sap of the Acacia Senegal tree and related species. It is a resin-like, water-soluble substance classified in the food industry as E414. Gum Arabic is a highly versatile, plant-based additive used primarily as a stabiliser, emulsifier, and thickening agent in food and cosmetics.

Our Gum Arabic powder is produced to the highest quality standards and is both tasteless and odourless. The off-white to pale yellow powder is pH-stable, entirely plant-derived, and GMO-free – ideal for professional formulations.
