gum arabic
Emulsifier from acacias
Gum arabic is a natural gum derived from the hardened sap of acacia trees, used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener.
It appears in food products, pharmaceuticals, inks, watercolor paints, and adhesives.
The gum dissolves in water to form a sticky solution: Traditional postage stamps used gum arabic as the adhesive.
