Gum Arabic (Acassia)

_{Confectionery remains a major use for gum arabic, although supply and price pressures have led to a marked reduction in the amount of gum arabic used in some traditional items such as "fruit gums" and pastilles. The role of gum arabic in confectionery products is usually either to prevent crystallization of sugar or to act as an emulsifier. In candy products it is also used as a glaze.}

_{Gum arabic is a complex, slightly acidic polysaccharide. The precise chemical and molecular structure differs according to the botanical origin of the gum, and these differences are reflected in some of the analytical properties of the gum. As a result, the functional properties and uses to which gum arabic can be put (and its commercial value) are also very dependent on its origin.}
