We are a Sudanese company working as universal supplier for various crops, the grade 1 gum Arabic (Acacia Senegal) & grade 2 (Acacia Seyal) gum Arabic is one of our scopes, which is Sudan origin certainly.
The Hashab (Acacia) Gum Specifications as follow (Per Standard):
General Properties :
| SOLUBILITY | Soluble up to 55% concentration. Gum Arabic is truly soluble in cold water. Other gums are either insoluble in cold water or form colloidal suspensions, solutions not true.
|
| VISCOSITY | A 20% aqueous solution will give less than 100 cps, i.e. Gum Arabic is not very viscous at such concentrations. High viscosity is obtained only at concentrations of 40% - 50%
|
| FILM-FORMING | Gum Arabic's superb film-forming properties make it ideal for some confectionery coatings and lithographic plate solutions.
|
| EMULSIFIER | Gum Arabic produces highly stable emulsions making it very useful in the preparation of oil-in-water food flavour emulsions, particularly for citrus oils.
|
| COLOR | Colorless (top quality) to pale straw color (average quality).
|
| TASTE | Gum Arabic has no off-taste. The taste of flavoring products co-spraydried with Gum Arabic is not affected or dulled by Gum Arabic as the carrier.
|
| FIBER | Gum Arabic is regarded as 90% "Soluble Fiber," according to the latest researches.
|
| CALORIC VALUE | Generally defined as Polysaccharide Dietary Fiber WITH REDUCED CALORIC INTAKE.
|
| CHOLESTEROL REDUCER | Human dietary intake studies have indicated a reduction in blood cholesterol levels when Gum Arabic amounts (25 grams per day) are ingested in solution.
|
| TOXICOLOGICAL STATUS | "Generally Recognized as Safe". |
