Import Acacia Arabic Gum — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Egypt

Acacia Arabic Gum from Herbseic is a natural exudate harvested from Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal trees in Egypt, supplied as a light amber to pale white powder. The product meets a minimum purity of 90%, confirmed by the supplier, and is fully water-soluble, forming a viscous solution at low concentrations. It is non-GMO and sustainably sourced from wild-grown trees in the Sahel region.

This gum is a complex polysaccharide composed primarily of arabinose and galactose, with trace minerals that contribute to its functional properties. Typical industry standards for Acacia Arabic Gum include a moisture content of 10-12% (standard), a pH range of 4.0-5.0 in a 10% solution (standard), and a viscosity of 25-45 cP for a 25% solution at 25°C (typical). It is odorless and has a bland taste, making it suitable for applications where sensory neutrality is critical.

Industrial buyers use this gum as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener in food and beverage production, particularly in confectionery, soft drinks, and sauces. Pharmaceutical and cosmetics manufacturers value its film-forming and binding properties for tablets, lozenges, and topical formulations. Importers should confirm bulk packaging options, as this supplier typically offers 25 kg multi-layer paper bags with polyethylene liners to preserve product integrity during transit.
