Frequently asked questions

Does Arabic Gum alter the taste of the preparation?

No, it is completely odorless and colorless. It acts only on texture and stability, without affecting the flavor or color of the finished product.

How can Arabic Gum be incorporated without lumps?

Always dissolve it in a hot or warm liquid while stirring regularly, rather than sprinkling it directly into a cold preparation, which encourages lump formation.

Can it be used instead of xanthan gum?

Both are plant-based thickeners, but Arabic Gum primarily acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer at a higher dosage (1 to 5%), while xanthan gum thickens at very low quantities (less than 1%). They are not interchangeable at the same dosage.
