  • Gum arabic (A. senegal) is a pale white to orange-brown solid, which breaks with a glassy fracture. The best grades are in the form of whole, spheroidal tears of varying size with a matt surface texture. When ground, the pieces are paler and have a glassy appearance. Gum arabic (A. seyal) is more brittle than the hard tears of gum arabic (A. senegal). Gum arabic is also available commercially in the form of white to yellowish white flakes, granules, powder, roller dried, or spray-dried material.

Product Description

Gum acacia isused in the pharmaceutical industry as emulsifying agent,thickener/viscosity-increasing agent, and binder, especially in buccal orlozenge type dosage forms. 

The acacia powderhydrates readily in cold water & concentrations of up to 40-50% are easy tohandle and control. Unlike most other water-soluble gums of similar molecularweight, acacia gum exhibits very low viscosity in water; a 1% dispersion of Xanthangum & a 40% solution of gum acacia have similar viscosities of about3000-5000 cps. Hence, it is necessary to use additional gums or thickenerswhile formulating oral & topical pharmaceutical formulations.

It is also used in the preparation of buccal tablets (pastilles& lozenges). It is used to stabilize O/W emulsions which are used in tabletcoatings.

Organoleptic properties

Odorless, bland in taste & available as white or yellowish-white thin flakes, spheroidal tears, granules, powder & spray-dried powder. It is hygroscopic.

Solubility

Soluble in all proportions in water. Soluble in glycerol, propylene glycol. Insoluble in ethanol. It hydrates slowly in water to produce a colorless or yellowish, viscous, gummy solution. Spray-dried grades hydrate much more rapidly (about 30 minutes)

pH of 5%w/v aqueous solution

4.0 to 6.5

Particle size

For spray dried powder, minimum 90% is less than 200 pm.

Viscosity of 25% w/w solution, at 20 degree Viscosity varies depending on source, age, processing conditions & methods, pH & ionic composition. Increase in concentration increases viscosity & changes from Newtonian to non-Newtonian system.
