Flavor Encapsulation
Gum Arabic is an ideal carrier in flavor encapsulation
because of its natural emulsifying and surface-active properties,
good retention of volatile flavor components, high solutility
in water (up to 50%) and acid stability.

Additional advantages include its bland flavor, low
hygroscopicity and ability to protect flavors from oxidation.

Gum Arabic is better than Corn Starch!!!!
Modified starches derived from corn face challenges
with consumer concern over genetic engineering.

Some food manufacturers feel a need to reformulate
their products with non-genetically modified ingredients.

Gum Arabic offers a solution
to replacing some modified starches.

With Gum Arabic's benefits, it will find increasing use
in flavor encapsulation, beverage emulsions,
confectionery, snack foods and nutraceuticals.
