Gum arabic, also known as acacia gum, is a natural product derived from the sap of the acacia tree. It has been used in culinary applications for centuries as a thickening agent, stabilizer, emulsifier, and texturizer. Here are some common culinary uses for gum arabic:
Candy and confectionery: Gum arabic is often used in the production of candy and confectionery products, such as gummy bears and marshmallows. It helps to create a smooth and creamy texture, and can also improve the shelf life of these products.
Beverages: Gum arabic is used in the production of soft drinks, energy drinks, and other beverages to improve the mouthfeel and texture. It can also help to stabilize the emulsions in these products, preventing separation over time.
Ice cream and frozen desserts: Gum arabic can be used in the production of ice cream and other frozen desserts to improve the texture and prevent ice crystals from forming. It can also help to improve the stability of these products during storage and transport.
Baked goods: Gum arabic can be used in the production of baked goods, such as bread, cakes, and cookies, to improve the texture and help them retain moisture. It can also be used as a glaze or coating on baked goods.
Sauces and dressings: Gum arabic can be used as a thickener and stabilizer in sauces and dressings, such as mayonnaise and salad dressings. It helps to create a smooth and creamy texture and prevents separation of the ingredients over time.
Gum Arabic is used to make our edible glitter.
