Description

Arabic Acid CAS NO 32609-14-6 is a high-purity, natural polysaccharide gum derived from the acacia tree, primarily composed of arabinose and galactose. This versatile biopolymer is valued for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and thickening properties in aqueous systems. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for manufacturers in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries seeking natural, plant-based hydrocolloids.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: Acts as a natural stabilizer and emulsifier in soft drinks, flavor emulsions, and confectionery to prevent ingredient separation and improve mouthfeel.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as a binder, emulsifying agent, and suspending agent in tablets, syrups, and topical preparations.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as a film-forming agent and stabilizer in lotions, creams, and hair care products.
• Industrial Applications: Employed as an adhesive, binder in watercolor paints, and a protective colloid in various technical processes.
• Microencapsulation: Serves as a wall material for encapsulating flavors, fragrances, and oils due to its film-forming ability.
