Gum Arabic is of great interest among beverage makers as an emulsifier with no better alternatives and all beverage companies are forced to take up as much supply as possible due to increasing demands. Also referred to as the Rolls Royce of gums, gum Arabic has been extensively used in the food industry as an adhesive, stabilizer, thickener and is also heavily used as emulsifier in many beverages. 

Its top producers, primarily Sudan, bring around 50,000 tons of this gum to the world market every year. Unfortunately, the supply of gum Arabic, also called acacia gum is variable as it comes from acacia trees in Africa’s gum belt. The variation and threat of scarcity is a result of climatic and political factors in the main producing countries, thus leading to the spikes in the ingredient’s price. 

Gum Arabic as an emulsifier is a very potent product that bears the most ideal stabilizing properties. This product has undergone the necessary tests and processes that prove that it is very effective. It is also being used across many industries and its extensive array of applications make it one of the most in demand ingredients that you can find in the market today.
