Gum Arabic

A natural resin formed by acacia trees, gum arabic is a powerful emulsifier. Uniquely, it can be used in surprisingly high concentrations and will emulsify essential oils into liquids. It has a high tolerance for alcohol, which makes it useful in certain liqueurs. It is an extremely powerful and reliable emulsifier that is often incorporated into foams and classic emulsified sauces. A vinaigrette made with gum arabic will not separate.
