@@NicolasEjzenberg Gum Arabic can be used not only as a stabilizer for increasing emulsion viscosity, but it also contributes as emulsifier to create surface active layer at water-oil interface. Arabic gum is currently one of the most expensive gums on the market. Guar gum and Xanthan gum are some of the most versatile alternatives. We can’t definitively say how much gum is needed as a substitute for one or the other all the time, as this will vary depending on the recipe and the needs.
Thanks for your comment: The gum is harvested commercially from wild trees, mostly in Sudan (about 70% of the global supply) and throughout the Sahel, from Senegal to Somalia. The name “gum Arabic” (al-samgh al-'arabi) was used in the Middle East at least as early as the 9th century.
Hi @snitra. Thanks for taking the time. Yes, you can call it Africa gum because it come from the African continent. That isn't incorrect. In commerce it is called gum Arabic or Arabic gum.

Hello how can I use it as an emulsifier ? Which quantity ?
A typical ratio for stabilization and thickening is 1.0-45.0% gum Arabic by weight.
@@CapeCrystalBrands Thanks, is it suitable for emulsifying a margarine, how much should I put ?

@@CapeCrystalBrands what about guar gum is it gelatin?
@@abdelazizdjihane6142 Guar gum is in a powder form and is used as a thickener
