Gum Arabic 55g
$11.99 CAD
Origin: A fine white powder derived from the hardened sap of the acacia tree.
Application: Gum Arabic is flavourless and prolongs the shelf life of products. 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. Gum (or Gomme) Syrup is a basic rich simple syrup thickened with gum arabic. Gum syrup adds a silky rich texture to cocktails.
Available in 55g jar.
