Additional information

The research has identified the interaction between gum arabic, which is used as a food additive, and free fatty acids, and serves as a basis for the claims of health benefits for the gum. The International Union of Food Science and Technology (IUFoST) commented on the work: “ Dr. Fang's finding of binding ability of fatty acids by gum Arabic through hydrophobic interactions, using EPR (Electron paramagnetic resonance), is significant and will lead to the development of cholesterol reducing strategies and promises to have untold global health benefits”.
