Application

Given orally, acacia gum ameliorates the severity of chronic renal failure (CRF) in humans and rats. Acacia gum is used as a surfactant in the development of hydrogels for tissue engineering applications. Acacia gum polymer is used to preserve microorganisms during sampling and storage.

Other Notes

Believed to be a branched polymer of galactose, rhamnose, arabinose, and glucuronic acid as the calcium, magnesium, and potassium salts with a mol. wt. of approx. 250,000.
