Gum acacia, sustainable stability
Gum acacia, which is derived from the acacia tree, is a natural solution for product texture and stability challenges, from creating innovative confectionery products to stabilizing emulsions, particulates and flavours in beverages. Our gum acacia ingredients are fully soluble in water, provide consistent functionality in a range of applications and are available as a spray-dried fine powder or a novel fast-dissolving granulated version.
Explore gum acacia ingredients across applications:
Bakery
Our gum acacia ingredients create better bakery applications, delivering benefits during processing and in the final bakery product. In bakery applications, gum acacia products can prolong shelf life, increase nutrition, improve texture and even be used as an egg-free egg wash alternative.
Create bakery products with:
- Increased moisture stabilisation in freeze/thaw or freeze/bake applications
- Extended shelf life and anti-staling
- Improved elasticity
- Enhanced crispiness in snacks
- Reduced breakage in crackers and cookies
- Improved pliability in flat breads and pittas
- Improved mouthfeel and texture
- Increased soluble dietary fibre
- Improved texture and stability, especially in gluten-free products

- Strengthened coating layers, such as for a crunchy shell
- Binded and stabilised layers
- Improved adherence of additional ingredients
Our gum acacia ingredients for confectionery coatings include:
- GCA-LA6
- GCA
Dairy
We produce unique gum acacia grades optimised for use in dairy applications. These solutions are highly compatible with dairy proteins and work across a wide range of processing conditions and applications, including ice cream, margarines and spreads, yoghurts and dairy-based desserts. (For more on dairy beverages, see the “Beverages” tab.)
Create dairy products with:
- Reduced sugar
- Reduced fat
- Increased levels of soluble fibre
- Cleaner labels, such as through the removal of mono- and di-glycerides in ice creams
- Ice crystal retardation
- Improved stabilisation
Our gum acacia ingredients for dairy include:
- EmulGold™ Fibre, a prebiotic ingredient
- KLTA-MF
- KLTA-UHF
Nutritional Bars and Cereals
Our gum acacia products can be used in both cereal and protein bar applications to improve consistency. Gum acacia can be added to bars to enable reduced sugar or fat levels and provide fibre enrichment.
Create nutritional bars and cereals with:
- Improved binding abilities
- Reduced sugar
- Reduced fat
- Increased levels of soluble fibre
Our gum acacia ingredients for nutrition bars and cereals include:
- EmulGold™ Fibre, a prebiotic ingredient
Savoury
Our gum acacia ingredients are heat and pH stable, making them well suited for utilisation in savoury products including sauces, dressings and dips. Gum acacia can be used to improve the nutrition and sensorial properties of savoury products including smoothness, mouthfeel and roundness as well as between emulsification and in dry and liquid applications
Create savoury products with:
- Improved mouthfeel and texture
- Increased levels of soluble fibre
- Reduced sugar

The fast dissolving gum acacia difference
Our gum acacia products are available in a fast dissolving grade. These products have enhanced granulometry and provide outstanding performance by minimising dust, thus increasing ease of handling and maximising dispersive capability for highly efficient performance. Fast dissolving gum acacias are suitable for use in all aqueous applications, especially beverage and confectionary. For other formulations, our gum acacias are available as a spray-dried fine powder.
