Plant-based stabilizer and emulsifier extracted from acacia, odorless and colorless
FUNCAKES gum arabic (E414) is extracted from acacia sap. It acts as a natural emulsifier, stabilizer and thickener: it prevents fats from separating, limits the formation of crystals in ice cream, and improves the structure of confectionery without changing the color or taste of the preparation. 100% plant-based, it is suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Does gum arabic change the flavor of the preparation?
No, it is completely odorless and colorless. It only affects the texture and stability, without altering the flavor or color of the finished product.
How do you incorporate gum arabic without lumps?
Always dissolve it in a hot or warm liquid, stirring regularly, rather than sprinkling it directly into a cold mixture, which encourages lumps to form.
Can it be used instead of xanthan gum?
Both are plant-based thickeners, but gum arabic mainly acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer at higher dosages (1 to 5%), while xanthan gum thickens even at very low quantities (less than 1%). They are not interchangeable at equal dosages.
