  • GUM ARABIC IN BAKING

To help the cake to rise and add natural soluble fibre add Gum Arabic powder to the dry ingredients when baking sponge cakes. Add about 2 tsp. of Gum Arabic powder to a 6 egg recipe.

  • GUM ARABIC GLUE / GLAZE

Combine Gum Arabic powder with warm water (about 2 tsp. Gum Arabic with 60ml of water) to create an edible glue for sticking sugar pieces together or as a varnish for marzipan or sugar paste. One layer of Gum Arabic will give a slight sheen and subsequent layers will build up to a very high gloss finish. Each layer must dry before applying the next layer. Gum Arabic glue or glaze can be stored in an airtight jar in a refrigerator for a few months (a few drops of alcohol can be added to the glaze to help increase the mixtures shelf life).
