Gum Arabic is a natural exudate derived from the branches of Acacia Senegal trees, prized for its powerful emulsifying, stabilizing and prebiotic properties. As a natural emulsifier, it effectively binds substances that would otherwise separate, making it an essential ingredient in food, pharmaceuticals, and beverages. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is widely used to prevent the separation of medicinal compounds, ensuring product consistency and effectiveness.

The world’s finest Gum Arabic comes from Sudan, where vast acacia forests stretch across the country’s gum belt. Unlike synthetic additives, Sudanese Gum Arabic is completely natural, non-GMO, and free from chemicals or radiation. Beyond its functional uses, high-quality Sudanese Gum Arabic is the ultimate source of Soluble Dietary Fiber and a powerful Natural Prebiotic. It supports digestive health, promotes gut microbiome balance, and aids in relieving constipation and diarrhea.

Our Hashab Grade Gum Arabic forms naturally when the bark of the Acacia Senegal tree splits due to drought, releasing a nutrient-rich sap that hardens into small droplets. Traditionally, these hardened sap tears were the primary source of gum Arabic, but today, commercial production involves periodic tapping of the trees to collect the resin in a controlled manner. This sustainable harvesting method enhances yield and quality while preserving the health of the trees.

The quality of gum Arabic varies based on the method of collection. Naturally exuded gum due to drought is highly valued, while gum obtained through tapping or insect-induced injury differs in composition. Only gum from Acacia Senegal and Acacia Seyal meets international food-grade standards, while gums from Combretum species, often sold at lower prices in parts of West and East Africa, are not commercially accepted for premium applications. As a Soluble Dietary Fiber and Natural Prebiotic, it promotes gut health, digestion, and microbiome balance. With exceptional quality and clean-label benefits, it is the preferred choice for functional foods, beverages, and dietary supplements.

Hashab grade gum Arabic is classified into four distinct grades, with Cleaned and HPS (Hand-Picked Selected) being the most sought after in international trade. These classifications are based on the sorting and cleaning process, ensuring different levels of purity and quality.

Export prices vary depending on the grade, as not all Hashab gum Arabic products offer the same level of consistency and functionality. Choosing the right grade is essential to achieving optimal performance in food, beverage, and health applications.
