Gum emulsifier made from acacia gets UK launch
Acacia gum is highly soluble and carries a low calorific value, according to supplier Alland & Robert.
Recognised as a fibre, it is an eco-friendly, clean-label ingredient, the company said.
Oil-in-water emulsions
The gum is used in beverages for difficult oil-in-water emulsions, and for the stabilisation of complex oil emulsions, such as products with citrus fruit, paprika, and beta-carotene.
It reduces the surface tension between the dispersed and continuous phases of an emulsion, Alland & Robert added.
