Stabilizing agents acacia

Concentrating and stabilizing agent, emulsifier derived from die sap of Acacia Senegal. 

Thickeners and binders such as acacia, agar, starch, sodium alig-nate, gelatin, methyl cellulose, bentonite, and silica are used to improve product stability and enhance the convenience of the administration of a liquid formulation. Surface-active agents, colors, flavors and preservatives may also be used in the final formulation (Garcia et ah. Bioseparation Process Science, Blackwell Science, Malden, Mass., 1999, p. 374).

Gums are usually defined as polysaccharides of natural origin—they are often used in the food industry as thickening agents (vide infra), but gum arabic, the hardened sap of acacia trees, was long used as an adhesive for stamps and also as a food stabilizer and a binder in watercolor paints and in lithography. It is a mixture of polysaccharides and glycoproteins, the...
