Acacia Gum

Additional Details

Gum Arabic is compatible with other plant hydrocolloids, protein carbohydrates, and starches. It  produces stable emulsions with most oils over a wide pH range. Electrolytes generally reduce the viscosity of gum Arabic solutions. Many salts, particularly trivalent metal salts give precipitates or heavy jellies. Specifically, gum Arabic is incompatible with borax, ferric chloride, lead acetate, mercurous chloride, and high percentages of alcohol.
