Gum Arabic 4 oz Texturestar

ACACIA SENEGAL – A fine white powder derived from the hardened sap of the acacia tree, used primarily as a stabilizer. It goes by many names, including Arabic Gum, Acacia Senegal, Sudani Gum, and Indian Gum.

PREMIUM QUALITY – This pure arabic gum is of the highest quality, containing only 1 ingredient, arabic gum. It is a plant derived fiber which can be thought of as an edible glue, thickening agent, and binder to help hold ingredients together.

USING ARABIC GUM – Dissolves completely in both cold and warm water, making it easy to use in a variety of ways unlike gelatin. It is used most extensively in the production of soft drinks. It is also used in chocolates, frostings and icings to prevent melting and to provide a smooth texture.

VERSATILE USAGE – Gum Arabic provides the very desirable chewy texture in marshmallows and soft gummy candies and is frequently used in low-fat ice creams for firmness and good scooping qualities. Because this is a plant-derived product, it’s suitable for vegans and vegetarians, is gluten-free, and non GMO.

PAINTING WITH IT – Simply adding Gum Arabic to your water colour slows down the drying time of your paint, giving you a slightly longer time to work on the image. Gum Arabic can also be used to increase the gloss. Gum Arabic washes will have greater depth and appear more luminous than colour washes alone.
