Some gum users now take gum in a pre-prepared form. Spray dried gum acacia has been used in pharmaceutical products for some time. The spray dried gum offers the pharmaceutical manufacturer a clean ready to use product. Instant forms of gum acacia have been offered by suppliers for some time. The instant products can be rapidly made into solution and used. Obviously the instant gum is more expensive. A manufacturer that uses gum as a minor ingredient may well find that the capital and labour cost of purifying raw gum is not cost effective. A company that uses gum acacia as a major ingredient might come to a different conclusion. Instantised gums pose different problems to the analytical chemist.. One approach that can be used is to have an optical rotation specification for the product. Even this approach is not entirely proof against a material that contains a blend of gums of different optical rotation.

The flavour and modern phytopharmaceutical industries have made big changes to the traditional pharmaceutical extraction processes. Whereas ethanol was really the only significant solvent apart from water used by the traditional pharmaceutical extractors, solvents such as hexane and acetone have been used by flavour companies to make soft-extract oleoresins for natural flavour components. Sub- and supercritical carbon dioxide and also some fluorohydrocarbons are now used to produce some very high-quality extracts. Modern concentration and drying processes such as reverse osmosis, spray-drying and freeze-drying...
