What it is

Acacia gum, also known as gum arabic, is a natural gum made from the hardened sap of two species of acacia trees native to Africa and India. The sap is harvested, dried, and then ground into a powder or used in larger pieces.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use acacia gum as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and thickener in a wide range of foods. It helps to prevent ingredients from separating and improves the texture of products like baked goods, candies, and beverages.

Health notes

Acacia gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is a source of soluble dietary fiber, which may have benefits for gut health. Both the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated acacia gum, and it is permitted for use in many countries.

Allergen info

Acacia gum is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
