What it is

Gumming solution is a mixture of ingredients used to create a protective coating on certain foods. It typically contains ingredients like gum arabic, sugar, and corn syrup, which are dissolved in water.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use gumming solution to provide a glossy finish, prevent sticking, and protect delicate coatings like yogurt or chocolate from moisture. It is often found on items like chocolate-covered nuts and fruits, as well as some candies.

Health notes

Gumming solution ingredients are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The components are primarily sugars and food gums, which are common food ingredients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many of these individual components. At typical consumption levels found in packaged foods, these ingredients do not pose a health concern.
