About this supplement
Spray-dried acacia fiber powder is a water-soluble dietary fiber derived from the hardened sap of Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal trees, processed via spray-drying to create a fine, stable powder. This specific form enhances flowability, mixability, and shelf stability compared to raw gum arabic. It consists primarily of complex polysaccharides and glycoproteins, functioning as a prebiotic fiber that resists digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract and is fermented by colonic microbiota. The spray-drying process yields a consistent, low-moisture product ideal for incorporation into supplements, functional foods, and beverages.

Physical properties
Fine, off-white to light tan powder; highly soluble in cold and hot water forming viscous solutions; low viscosity at concentrations up to 50%; hygroscopic; odorless; bland taste.
How it’s made
Harvested as exudate (gum) from Acacia tree stems and branches. The raw gum is cleaned, sorted, milled, and dissolved in water to form a solution. The solution is purified, filtered, and then spray-dried using hot air to rapidly evaporate water, resulting in a fine, free-flowing powder.
