What is Arabic gum? The use of Arabic gum


Gum arabic is a kind of gum, which mainly comes from acacia trees. It is a very safe thickener. It is the gum naturally solidified in the air. Gum arabic is the oldest and most famous natural gum in the world. Arabic gum has strong stickiness and softness. If the bark is cut, it will naturally produce colloid to seal the "gap", which is called gum flow phenomenon.


The use of gum arabic can be traced back to ancient Egypt five thousand years ago, when it was applied to gum arabic. However, with the development of time, its use is more extensive, especially in the application of food additives, such as emulsifying additives in beverages, protective agents for keeping fragrance, coating of food adhesives, candy or chocolate.


Arabic gum is often used to make powdered grease, and is often used together with gelatin. Arabic gum has good water solubility and emulsification, which can increase the microencapsulation efficiency of the embedded materials during the embedding process.


When arabic gum encounters carbonated drinks containing carbonate components, it makes the surface tension of water molecules more easily broken, releasing more carbon dioxide at an amazing rate. Due to the violent reaction, the gas generated makes the drink eject very high. Pay attention when drinking to avoid being injured.


The raw materials of arabic gum are in the form of granules of different sizes, so it is necessary to clean and grade them before processing. Our gum Arabic washing machine works the same way as seed or bean washing machines because they are similar in size and density. Different from them, gum arabic particles are more easily broken during transportation. The bucket elevator in our Arabic gum cleaner is specially designed. Arabic gum processing machine is a new type of cleaning machine developed with the growing demand for Arabic gum in the market.
