What it is
Organic Arabic Gum, also known as Gum Arabic, is a natural gum made from the hardened sap of the Acacia tree. It is harvested from wild or cultivated Acacia trees, primarily in Sudan and the Sahel region of Africa. The sap is collected, dried, and then processed into a powder.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add organic Arabic gum as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and thickener. It helps prevent ingredients from separating and improves the texture of foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, beverages, and dairy products.
Health notes
Organic Arabic gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of soluble dietary fiber, which may aid digestion and promote gut health. Both JECFA and EFSA have evaluated Gum Arabic and established acceptable daily intakes. Some individuals may experience mild digestive discomfort like gas or bloating if they consume very large amounts.
Allergen info
Organic Arabic gum is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
