Food stabilizers are crucial food components that help the food retain its structure, improve its water-binding capacity, mouthfeel, thickening, consistency, and viscosity, among other things. They are obtained from diverse natural raw …
Gums, or polysaccharides, are complex carbohydrates, soluble in water, which can form gels and mucilages. They have high molar mass and can be formed by galactose, arabinose, rhamnose, xylose, galacturonic acid, among others. They have gelling characteristics, thickening, moisture retention, emulsification and stabilization. …

Gum arabic (E414) is an ingredient in the formulation of many food products and is an ideal agent for stabilising flavour oil emulsions. This current study suggests that there may be considerable changes in the rheological behaviour of gum arabic when treated at high-pressures and under a variety of pH values.
Gum Arabic is a natural branched-chain multifunctional hydrocolloid with a highly neutral or slightly acidic, arabino-galactan-protein complex containing calcium, magnesium, and potassium [].According to the definition of the Joint Expert Committee for Food Additives (JECFA), Gum Arabic is a dried exudate obtained from the stem and …
The processing of gum Arabic to a high-quality, pure form for analytical and industrial purposes will create an added value. Gum dust is the inferior grade of cleaning, grading, and packaging of gum Arabic. Gum dust fetches low prices compared to high-quality grades; <25% (GAC, 1991). It is currently exported to external markets whereby …
To and Tp of corn starch-Arabic gum sample (S-G) was approximately higher than alone corn starch (S); moreover, enthalpy of S-G was higher than S. In fact, Arabic gum increased enthalpy of S-G system.
Almond gum and gum arabic were used as edible coatings for sweet cherries in order to delay their ripening during postharvest storage at 2C and 90–95% relative humidity for 15 days. Coating of sweet cherries with 10% almond gum or gum arabic has been found to enhance their shelf life and postharvest quality.

A gum arabic based edible coating with 5 per cent ascorbic acid was developed to assess postharvest quality of Pomelo segments. Coated segments were stored alternately in …
Gum arabic is primarily used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, or thickener in foods and beverages.
Despite the massive market for chewing gum and the provision of a list of the main ingredients in gum base by the Code of Federal Regulations and some international organizations, there is a lack ...
Gum arabic is usually used as a food emulsifier and stabilizer in the food industry. Gum arabic can be easily incorporated into beverages and processed foods without changing the original taste or texture due to its high solubility and relatively low viscosity, thus becoming an ideal functional dietary fibre ingredient in food.
