Additional information
Gum Arabic is a complex polysaccharide which is obtained from Acacia trees and is widely used in the beverage industry as an emulsifier for flavour oils. This paper provides a new insight into the molecular structure of the key protein-rich component of the gum that has been demonstrated by us to be responsible for its emulsification properties. The work was sponsored by San Ei Gen FFI, Japan [Contact; Dr T. Funami; tfunami@saneigenffi.co.jp]and the results will assist the Company in the processing of the material and in developing new product formulations.
