CHAD

Chad is another key player in the gum arabic market, known for producing both Talha and Hashab types.

Talha (Acacia Seyal)

Characteristics:

Chad's Talha gum is similar to that produced in Sudan, with moderate emulsifying and stabilizing properties, suitable for industrial applications.

Uses:

It is commonly used in the production of inks, paints, and adhesives. Its stabilizing properties make it useful in various industrial applications where viscosity enhancement is needed.

Hashab (Acacia Senegal)

Characteristics:

Like Sudan's Hashab, Chad's Hashab gum is highly valued for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and film-forming properties. It is considered high-quality and is widely used in food and pharmaceuticals.

Uses:

In the food industry, it is used in beverages, confectionery, and dairy products. In pharmaceuticals, it acts as a binder and emulsifier. Additionally, it is used in cosmetics for its stabilizing and emulsifying effects.
