Arabic gum
Product information:
Arabic gum, also known as acacia gum, chaar gund, char goond, or
meska, is a natural gum made of hardened sap taken from two species
of the acacia tree; Acacia Senegal and Acacia seyal. The gum is
harvested commercially from wild trees throughout the Sahel from
Senegal and Sudan to Somalia, although it has been historically
cultivated in Arabia and West Asia. Gum Arabic, a complex mixture
of polysaccharides and glycoproteins, is used primarily in the food
industry as a stabilizer. It is edible and has E number E**4. Gum
Arabic is a key ingredient in traditional lithography and is used
in printing, paint production, glue, cosmetics and various
industrial applications, including viscosity control in inks and in
textile industries, although less expensive materials compete with
it for many of these roles. While gum Arabic is now produced mostly
throughout the African Sahel, it is still harvested and used in the
Middle East. For example, Arab populations use the natural gum to
make a chilled, sweetened, and flavored gelato-like
dessert.
