Abstract

Gum arabic, a natural polysaccharide derived from exudates of Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal trees, is a commonly used food hydrocolloid. The complex chemical structure of the gum has been widely studied revealing a multi fraction material consisting mainly of a highly branched polysaccharide and a protein–polysaccharide complex (GAGP) as a minor component. This work investigates the sugar which is isolated through acid hydrolysis of gum arabic.
