Our high quality arabic gum is not treated by heat and is in its natural state and comes from a deciduous shrubby tree native to the semi-desert regions of Sub-Saharan Africa.
It is an important ingredient in chocolates (M&Ms, etc.), and “hard” gummy candies such as gumdrops and marshmallows. It is also used as an emulsifier and a thickening agent in icing, fillings, chewing gum and other confectionery treats. More generally, it gives body and texture to processed food products.
