Description: Gum Arabic 1 lb bag. This is the hydrated powder form which is easy to dissolve in water. This is what you use to mix a little fragrance oil with a lot of water to make a clear solution. (Something like soda pops use under 0.1% fragrance.）It can also be used as a thickener in your composition. From Wikipedia: Gum arabic, also known as gum sudani, acacia gum, Arabic gum, gum acacia, acacia, Senegal gum, Indian gum, and by other names, is a natural gum consisting of the hardened sap of Acacia senegal tree. Gum arabic is a complex mixture of glycoproteins and polysaccharidespredominantly consisting of arabinose and galactose. It is soluble in water, edible, and used primarily in the food industry and soft-drink industry as a stabilizer, with E number E414 (I414 in the US). Gum arabic is a key ingredient in traditional lithography and is used in printing, paint production, glue, cosmetics, and various industrial applications, including viscosity control in inks and in textile industries, though less expensive materials compete with it for many of these roles. To make paper glue like the kind used in envelopes and stamps, dissolve 1 part of this Gum Arabic in 2 parts of water, and mix well. Same ratio can be used to make watercolor paint. Other ingredients like honey or glycerin can be added if desired. If you want to preserve this biodegradable glue for a long time, add 1 drop of Clove Oil (Eugenol), which we sell here too. We charge the same shipping for any quantity you order. So if you buy 1 lb, you would pay $16/lb. But if you buy 10 lbs, then you would pay only $9.70/lb. This is our way to give you a quantity discount. We have been in business for over 30 years and we are not a fly-by-night operation. Last time we offered this Gum Arabic on Ebay, we sold out our 6000 pound inventory in a hurry. It has taken us a few years to replenish, and now we are back. We won't run out again.
