So, what is gumă arabică?
Gum arabic, also known as acacia gum or E414 in the EU, is a natural plant-derived ingredient used extensively in the food industry. It is harvested from Acacia trees and has a range of applications, including as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickening agent. Gum Arabic is famous for its ability to dissolve easily in water and form a clear solution, making it ideal for use in beverages and confectionery products. It is also used in the production of printing ink, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Gum Arabic is a versatile ingredient that can improve the texture, mouthfeel, and shelf life of food products, all while being a natural alternative to synthetic additives.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
