Gum Acacia Senegal — also sold as Gum Arabic — is a dried polysaccharide exudate collected from the stems and branches of Acacia senegal (Family: Fabaceae), native to Africa. Ashapura Proteins Limited processes it through water dissolution, ultra-cleaning, and spray drying, producing a yellow to off-white powder that is odorless and tasteless. It is a high purity food-grade Gum Arabic, with moisture loss capped at 10%, total ash no more than 4%, and pH sitting between 4 and 5 in a 25% solution. Heavy metal limits comply with applicable FSSAI and international food additive specifications for INS/E414 — arsenic under 3 mg/kg, lead under 2 mg/kg, mercury and cadmium each under 1 mg/kg. The product is free from detectable starch and tannin impurities, and freely soluble in water, forming a clear to slightly hazy solution.
On the physical side, the product shows a specific optical rotation of −35° to −20° and a minimum viscosity of 60 cPs (25% solution at 25°C). Granulometry allows up to 15% of particles below 75 μm. Microbiological counts are low: total viable count under 2,000 cfu/g, yeasts and moulds under 100 cfu/g, with E. coli and Salmonella both negative. Packed in 25 kg multilayer kraft paper bags with inner food-grade polyethylene liner, it stores at room temperature in a dry place with a shelf life of 4 years under recommended storage conditions. Regulatory identifiers are INS/E414, CAS No. 9000-01-5, and HS Code 1301.20.00. The product is Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Allergen Free, and Vegan Suitable. Primary uses include flavour encapsulation, wine and beverage stabilization, and coating and glazing in confectionery, bakery, and pharmaceutical applications.
Gum Acacia or Gum Arabic (E414)
Water dissolution followed by ultra-cleaning and spray drying.
Gum Arabic consists mainly of high molecular weight polysaccharides, and their calcium, magnesium and potassium salts which on hydrolysis yield Arabinose, Rhamnose, Galactose and Glucuronic.
