Gum Arabic, also known as Acacia Gum, is a natural, water-soluble exudate derived from the hardened sap of Acacia trees, primarily Acacia Senegal and Acacia Seyal. It is a complex polysaccharide and glycoprotein, valued globally for its excellent functional properties in a wide range of industries including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications.
Our gum Arabic is sourced directly from Sudan, the leading global origin known for producing the highest-quality gum Arabic. The product is harvested by hand, sun-dried, cleaned, and packaged under strict quality controls. We offer unrefined, raw gum Arabic in granule or whole lump form, with custom packaging options to suit various industrial needs.
