Gum Arabic

Also known as acacia gum, chaar gund, char goond, or meska, is a natural gum made of the hardened sap of various species of the acacia tree. Originally, gum arabic was collected from Acacia nilotica which was called as the "Gum arabic tree"; in the present day, gum arabic is predominantly collected from two related species, namely Senegalia (Acacia) Senegal and Vachellia (Acacia) Seyal.

Gum Arabic is used primarily in the food industry as a stabilizer. It is a key ingredient in traditional lithography and is used in printing, paint production, glue, cosmetics and various industrial applications, including viscosity control in inks and in textile industries, though less expensive materials compete with it for many of these roles.
