One of the main benefits of Acacia Gum is its ability to stabilize emulsions, an emulsion can be defined as a mixture of two immiscible liquids, such as oil and water. Without a stabilizer, emulsions can quickly separate and the product can become unusable. Acacia Gum can help to prevent this separation by forming a protective layer around the droplets of oil, this will prevent coalescing and will help keep the emulsion stable.

In addition to stabilizing emulsions, Acacia Gum is also an effective thickener, it can be added to food and beverage products to increase their viscosity and create a smoother, more consistent texture.
