Gum Arabic, also known as gum sudani, acacia gum, Arabic gum, gum acacia, acacia, Senegal gum, Indian gum, and by other names, is a natural gum originally consisting of the hardened sap of two species of the Acacia sensu lato tree, Senegalia senegal and Vachellia seyal. It serves as a stabiliser, emulsifier and thickener for a wide range of food products such as fillings, chewing gum and icings. Generally, it is used to give texture and body to processed foodstuffs.
