Gum Arabic, also known as acacia gum, is a natural gum derived from the sap of Acacia Senegal and Vachellia Seyal trees. It is primarily used in the food industry as a stabiliser and in various industrial applications such as printing, painting, and photography. Historically, it was used as an embalming agent in ancient Egypt and now it is harvested in Arabia and sub-Saharan Africa. The gum is harvested by tapping the trees and collecting the sap, which is then dried and processed into a powder or liquid form. It is known for its emulsifying properties, making it useful in creating emulsions and suspensions.
Gum Arabic is a complex mixture of polysaccharides and glycoproteins obtained from the sap of Acacia trees. It is slightly acidic with a pH of 4.5-5.5 and has a glassy appearance. It is fully soluble in both hot and cold water, forming a viscous solution. Its density ranges from 1.35-1.49 and it has a high molecular weight of around 0.25x10^6. Gum Arabic has a boiling point above 250°C and a melting point between 0-100°C. It is odourless and has good emulsifying properties, with a solubility in water of 43-48%. Being a versatile, edible biopolymer, it is used widely in the food, pharmaceutical and other industries as a stabiliser, emulsifier and thickener.
The process begins with the harvesting and processing of the raw material in Africa. Acacia trees (Acacia Senegal or Acacia Seyal) are tapped during the dry season, causing the gum to exude from the bark. The raw gum is collected and sun-dried on canvas sheets to prevent clumping. The dried gum is then transported to local markets and sold to merchants, who accumulate the gum until enough is collected for export. The next stage involves cleaning and sorting the raw gum. The gum is manually cleaned by women, who visually inspect each lump to remove bark, leaves, and wood pieces. The gum is then sorted by colour and size through visual inspection and manual sieving.
Next, the raw gum is crushed to reduce the size of the lumps, facilitating dissolution in water. The gum solution is then purified through a series of physical and mechanical processes, including sieving, decantation, centrifugation, and filtration. The purified gum solution is heat-treated to reduce the microbial load. Finally, the gum solution is spray-dried, converting it into a fine powder that is collected at the end of the dryer. The spray-dried Arabic gum powder is then packaged for distribution and sale.
