Raw acacia gum.

Q: What is the difference between raw and spray-dried acacia gum?

Raw gum is the natural form, in nodules, as harvested then sorted and dried. Spray-dried gum is made by dissolving, filtering and spray-drying the gum: a ready-to-use powder.

Q: What are the specifications of raw gum?

Moisture below 15%, total ash below 4%, pH 4 to 6, viscosity 60 to 150 cP (Brookfield RVT), total aerobic count below 10,000 cfu/g, absence of Salmonella and E. coli.

Q: How should it be stored?

In a dry, ventilated place at room temperature, away from light. Its shelf life is 3 years from the lot's production date.

Q: What packaging?

50 kg or 25 kg polyethylene-lined bags, sold by the bag, pallet or container.

Q: Acacia senegal or Acacia seyal: which one should I choose?

Acacia senegal is the reference for emulsification, especially in beverages. Acacia seyal, more friable, is used notably in confectionery and where emulsifying power is less critical. Both fall under the E414 code; we advise you according to your application.

Natural white to yellow nodules, hand-harvested, sun-dried and sorted in Chad. An unprocessed raw material, imported directly with no middlemen.
