Edible Gum Powder

Edible Gum powder is the hardened sap, which is sourced from acacia plants commonly found in several parts of India including Maharashtra, Punjab and Rajasthan. It is brown or white in colour, and is also known as Gondh and Dinka. For ages, it has been used a thickening and binding agent by the pharmaceutical and food industry. Many times, it works as a stabilizer, texturant additive and as an emulsifier. Edible gum is commonly used for making sweet dishes owing to its calorific character and warm properties. It is available in the market both in a crystallized and powdered form.
