Acacia Gum - Seyal Organic

Organic Acacia Gum - Seyal, commonly referred to as gum arabic, is a dried gum powder extracted from the Vachellia seyal species known as the red acacia tree. With an appearance ranging from off-white to brown, acacia powder carries a characteristic flavor profile and aroma and provides a range of beneficial properties in product formulations. As a natural source of dietary fiber, it is often procured for the food and nutraceutical industry to develop protein powders, nutritional supplements, and powdered drink mixes. With effective emulsifying and thickening properties, acacia gum promotes thickening and stabilization in dressings, sauces, soups, ice cream, and whipped cream. In personal care products, it acts similarly for viscous topical products such as lotions, creams, shampoos, conditioners, and cosmetic makeups. For watercolor and gouache paints, acacia gum can effectively bind the paints together and yields a glossy finish.
