Gum arabic has many uses, in both traditional practices and modern industrial applications. A gum’s suitability for each use depends largely on product specifications. For certain usages, hard gum obtained from Acacia senegal may be more desirable than friable gum from Acacia seyal, or vice-versa. In addition, industrial applications may require sophisticated processing capabilities that are usually not available in the regions where crude gum arabic is produced.
