Powdered exudate from various Acacia species, especially A. senegal (Leguminosae). It forms mucilage or syrup in water. Gum arabic is used as a suspending agent, excipient, and emulsifier in foods and pharmaceuticals. Source: National Library of Medicine, MeSH 2006
Gum arabic has been used for at least 4,000 years. The substance is a gummy exudate derived from trees of the species Acacia senegal and its close relatives. The trees are found in Sudan, Senegal, Nigeria and other semi-arid regions. The dried exudate is odourless, colorless and tasteless, and often occurs in response to infection. To stimulate production of this exudate, wounds are intentionally made. A distinguishing characteristic among natural gums is that Gum arabic dissolves rapidly in water. Gum arabic may uncommonly induce symptoms of asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema, contact dermatitis and food allergy in sensitised individuals. Copyright Copyright © 2006 Phadia AB.
