Acacia gum for food & beverage.
Emulsifier, stabiliser, coating agent and soluble fibre: acacia gum (E414) is one of the most widely used natural ingredients in the food industry. We deliver it directly from Chad to European manufacturers.
A clean label ingredient, used for millennia.
Acacia gum is the hardened sap of the Sahel acacia tree. Hand-harvested for more than 4,000 years, it is now an authorised food additive in the European Union under the code E414.
Its key property: it dissolves easily in water and remains low in viscosity even at high concentrations. This makes it the reference emulsifier for flavoured beverages and a highly sought-after coating agent in confectionery.
It has no marked taste and no disruptive colour, so it can be added without changing the sensory profile of your recipes.
Practical applications, sector by sector.
Beverages

For beverages, flavours and powder blends, spray-dried gum dissolves quickly and goes straight into production. Raw gum suits manufacturers who carry out dissolution and filtration themselves, especially in confectionery and winemaking.
