Gum arabic dietary fiber in bulk

Grade, pack, order volume, stock position and lot paperwork are below. For use rates and application work, the acacia fiber formulation guide covers that side.

Gum acacia, gum arabic and acacia fiber are the same ingredient under different names. It is the dried exudate of acacia trees, cleaned and spray-dried into a soluble powder. On a US label it is usually written as acacia fiber or gum arabic fiber, because FDA recognizes it as a dietary fiber under 21 CFR 101.9 as an isolated non-digestible soluble carbohydrate with a demonstrated physiological effect.

It is 90%+ soluble dietary fiber by weight, dissolves in cold and hot water, holds low viscosity at high solids, and is fully fermented by colonic microbiota. It is kosher, halal, non-GMO and gluten-free, and it carries zero FALCPA allergens.

Acacia seyal is the usual choice. It carries a higher total polysaccharide fraction and a lower arabinogalactan-protein load, so it delivers the fiber at a lower cost per kilo and stays low in viscosity when you push solids up.

Acacia senegal meets the same fiber definition. Take it when the same ingredient also has to do emulsification work somewhere else in the formula, which is where the higher AGP fraction earns its price.

Both species come in two physical forms. Spray-dried powder is fine and free-flowing and dissolves fast. Agglomerated has a larger particle size, better flow and less dust, which is what large-volume dry handling and dust-sensitive operations want. Both are available conventional and Oregon Tilth NOP certified organic, which gives eight grades across the line.

If you know the finished product but not the grade, the gum acacia grade guide works through 84 applications and gives the species and form for each. Request a sample

Gum arabic fiber ships in 25 kg bags, palletized for larger orders. Both forms use the same pack.

PAT sells from a single 25 kg bag up to full pallets. There is no pallet-quantity gate on a first order, which is the practical difference between buying from PAT and buying from a bulk chemical distributor. Commercial minimums vary by grade and by conventional versus organic, so tell us the grade and the volume and we will confirm what is available right now.

Samples typically ship within one business day. Commercial orders ship from US warehouse stock, so you are not waiting on an import lead time. Lead time on a specific grade and volume moves with the stock position, so ask and we will give you the current number, not a brochure figure.

Every order ships with a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis and an SDS. The full regulatory pack is available on request: manufacturer specification sheet, allergen statement, Non-GMO statement, kosher and halal certificates, country of origin statement, and the manufacturer's FSSC 22000 audit certificate. On organic grades the Oregon Tilth NOP certificate ships with the lot.

Buyers running a supplier qualification can get current versions of the compliance documents through the documentation portal.

The country of origin is Germany. PAT sources through a long-standing relationship with a German manufacturer. The acacia is cleaned, dissolved, spray-dried, and packaged at FSSC 22000 certified facilities in Germany before shipping to US warehouses. That processing is the substantial transformation that sets country of origin, so the country of origin of PAT's gum acacia is Germany.
