Description
Our High Quality Arabic Gum is not treated by heat and is in its natural state and comes from a deciduous shrubby tree native to the semi-desert regions of Sub-Saharan Africa, in particular from Somalia
These products are 100% natural organic, harvested from wild trees naturally, with no damage to the environment, which is very important to Fodey Enterprises Ltd. This makes these products sustainable and responsibly sourced. We only collect what the trees naturally discharge and we don't allow these trees to be taped, as that damages the trees.
Suggested Use
Arabic gum is a complex mixture of polysaccharides (sugars) and glycoproteins which make it ideally suited to making glues which are edible. It is used in the manufacture of confectionary, and is favoured by cake decorators for fixing edible flowers and decorations to cakes. It’s been used as a ‘lickable’ adhesive on items such as stickers, envelopes and postage stamps, in the manufacture of paints, inks and pigments. The cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries use it as a binding agent and emulsifier, also beverages like soft drinks.
SHELF LIFE
Shelf life of two years provided that goods are stored in an airtight container in ambient conditions.
