Arabic Gum, 55g

A fine white powder derived from the hardened sap of the acacia tree, used primarily as a stabilizer. Gum Arabic is flavourless and prolongs the shelf life of products. It is used most extensively in the production of soft drinks. Used for cocktails to create a gum syrup to create a smooth, silky texture to cocktail creations.
It is also used in chocolates, frostings and icings to prevent melting and to provide a smooth texture. Gum Arabic provides the very desirable chewy texture in marshmallows and soft gummy candies and is frequently used in low-fat ice creams for firmness and good scooping qualities
