Arabic Gum
Powder
Also called acacia after the original source, gum arabic is used
as an emulsifier and a thickening agent in icing, fillings, chewing gum
and other confectionery treats.
Imagine opening a fizzy drink and finding all the sugar had fallen to
the bottom and crystallised. It'd be disappointing.
But that's what would happen if it wasn't for gum arabic.
Gum arabic, 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; Senegalia (Acacia) senegal and Vachellia (Acacia) seyal.
It's also an ingredient in chocolate and sweets, but most importantly is the
role it plays in the soft drinks industry - it binds the sugar to the drink.
Essentially it's an edible glue.
