Our whole team will be there to attend. Together, let’s innovate for a healthier tomorrow!
Why visit us at FI EUROPE 2024?
As the global leader and pioneer of natural gums, Alland & Robert is focused on innovation through its products and services. Our commitment and mission is to deliver natural, vegetal and sustainable solutions for healthier and better diets worldwide. Thanks to low carbon, plant-based ingredients, we help companies to innovate for a healthier tomorrow.
BEYOND ACACIA®
Alland & Robert’s new Beyond Acacia® range is the fruit of over two years of research and development, with the aim of meeting market expectations and combining environmental exemplarity with technological excellence. The Beyond Acacia® range brings high-density granulometry to the table, enabling the creation of an innovative and sustainable range of gums.
This new range also showcases Alland & Robert’s commitments to the environment: The transformation used to make high-density granules produces a much lower volume of carbon emissions. The Beyond Acacia® range enables direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced by 51.1% (scopes 1 + 2), and a reduction by 13.5% of emissions upstream and downstream in the value chain (scope 3).
Moreover, the Beyond Acacia® range’s improved solubility and dispersion capacity enables a reduction in energy use during the end user’s industrial process, as their production phase will require less time and energy to complete. The granules dissolve completely without being heated, even at high levels of concentration. The range new granularity ensures excellent hydration properties (superior to those of a standard gum), which maximize the efficiency of the dispersion process. The occurrence of foam during this process is reduced, as are quantities of particles, which also improves fluidity and reduces the occurrence of lumps. With Beyond Acacia®, the volume of acacia gum required to obtain a net weight of 100 grams is 32% lower than with an instant acacia gum, bringing additional carbon reductions in packaging, freight, storage and waste.
TASTE SAMPLES MANUFACTURED WITH SYNDEO® GELLING
Finding plant-based substitutes to non-vegan gelling agents can be a challenge if you’re looking for that perfect texture, sensory experience, hardness or resilience. During Food Ingredients Europe, come to our booth and taste vegan samples such as gummies, formulated with Syndeo® Gelling.
Composed of 100% natural and plant-based hydrocolloids and acacia gum, Syndeo® Gelling is ideal to substitute gelatin or other gelling agents in vegan formulations. Syndeo® Gelling offers a choice alternative for vegan candy recipes, mousses and healthy food supplements such as “gummies”. The combination of Syndeo® Gelling ingredients, 100% plant-based hydrocolloids, provides a compromise between gelatin and pectin. While gelatin provides high elasticity and reduced stickiness, pectin helps achieve firmer, stickier textures with little or even no elasticity. Syndeo® Gelling offers both low hardness and higher elasticity than pectin, without creating any stickiness.
Syndeo® Gelling offers a choice alternative for vegan candy recipes and health food supplements. This market, currently booming, is not immune to the quest for healthier products. Whether it is to adopt a vegetarian diet, out of concern for the environment, to combat intensive farming, or out of religious conviction, an increasing number of consumers are looking for products formulated with plant-based ingredients to substitute those of animal origin. This is one of the challenges facing the food industry, and in particular manufacturers of confectionery. Syndeo® Gelling provides an innovative and multifunctional solution.

Situation in Sudan: a statement from the Association for International Promotion of Gums
As a member of AIPG (Association for International Promotion of Gums), Alland & Robert relays the below statement regarding the situation of the gum acacia industry in Sudan.
April 28, 2023 – AIPG Information on current supply situation of gum arabic
AIPG members are aware of the extremely problematic situation in Sudan and sincerely hope that a peaceful solution will soon be found.
AIPG members are monitoring the development of the situation and keep in touch with their local contacts. Based on decades of experience in the Sudan business and generally as producers, importers and manufacturers of natural products from all over the world, AIPG members do not believe that the supply situation of end users of gum Arabic is at risk.
Like many other importers, our member companies keep sufficient stocks of gum Arabic imported from Sudan and other countries in their warehouses, so that possible interruptions in supply – for whatever reason that might occur – can be absorbed.
Further on, it must also be considered that Sudan is not the only supplier country for gum Arabic, as also countries like Chad and Nigeria significantly contribute to the supply continuity of the market. Thus, in AIPG´s estimation, immediate supply bottlenecks are not to be expected because of the current events in Sudan.

This statement will be updated if necessary.

This is also an opportunity to discuss the recent approval by the FDA of acacia gum as a dietary fiber. Since december 2021, Acacia gum can be classified as a fiber for nutrition labelling purposes in the United States.Strong scientific literature demonstrates that acacia gum is a fibre. The FDA agreed that acacia gum has physiological effects beneficial to human health, such as the reduction of blood glucose and insulin levels after it is eaten with a meal containing a carbohydrate that raises blood glucose levels.
Feel free to stop by booth 2165!
ACACIA GUM, a prebiotic fiber now FDA APPROVED !
Acacia gum is a natural source of fiber that will bring benefits to any food & beverages.
Acacia gum is safe and natural ingredient, and comes from an exudation of wild acacia trees growing in the African desert. From a chemical point of view, acacia gum is a complex polysaccharide. Also know as acacia fiber, gum arabic or E414, acacia gum is recognized as a dietary fiber and can be added to any product formulation to increase the percentage of fiber.
An ideal ingredient for natural and healthy products formulation
100% plant based and natural, acacia gum can be present in food and beverages as texture agent, emulsifier, stabilizer, and for its high fiber content.
Acacia gum can be easily added in any formulation of food and beverages: it does not impact the taste or color of products, and has a low calorie count. Alland & Robert research has proven that acacia gum is resistant to acidity and heat, and has a very slow fermentation, which means a very small evolution of the fiber content during the shelf-life of food products.
In addition, acacia gum is ideal for the formulation of food and beverages that contain low fat or low sugar, and of vegan products, because acacia gum helps to compensate the loss of texture, volume and mouthfeel. These qualities makes acacia gum ideal for dietary applications and supplements and for fiber enrichment purposes.
The FDA approval: a decision with international repercussions
Since december 2021, acacia gum has been approved by the American FDA as a dietary fiber, and can now be classified as a fiber for nutrition labelling purposes in the United States.
Strong scientific literature demonstrates that acacia gum is a fibre. The FDA agreed that acacia gum has physiological effects beneficial to human health, such as the reduction of blood glucose and insulin levels after it is eaten with a meal containing a carbohydrate that raises blood glucose levels. Two laboratories specialized in clinical nutrition, including a university, designed and carried out these tests.
“This FDA decision will have an impact beyond the United States as many countries apply US Food and Health Authority guidelines in their local markets. It also confirms the benefits of acacia gum on human health,” explains Dr. Isabelle Jaouen, R&D Director at Alland & Robert.
In Europe, acacia gum is recognized as a fiber and there can be allegations depending on the dosage, such as “high in fiber” or “source of fiber”.
A prebiotic fiber with a positive impact on gut health
Acacia gum is a prebiotic fiber, which means several studies have shown it has a positive effect on the microbiome and helps the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Acacia gum generally supports the human microbiota and is used in formulation for lowering the glycemic index of food products. Highly soluble in water, acacia gum is very low in calories very slowly fermented, which means a very small evolution of the fiber content, and a great digestibility and tolerance, which meet the needs of people with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) or sensitive to FODMAP.
In addition, Alland & Robert studied the benefits of acacia gum on gut health through a large consumer study in 2021. Our results evidenced that our product improves global digestive wellness and relieves the symptoms of intestinal discomfort. The intake of acacia gum has a beneficial effect on global consumers’ health, and thus acacia fibre is an efficient ingredient for the formulation of gut health friendly food and beverages.
ACACIA FIBRE, a natural, vegetal and safe range of acacia fiber by Alland & Robert
Alland & Robert created ACACIA FIBRE, a specific range that offers a guarantee of minimum 90% fiber content (international method AOAC 985-29).
All products from the ACACIA FIBRE range contain only one ingredient: natural acacia gum. Alland & Robert provides both seyal and senegal grade references, and all products are available organic or conventional. Our manufacturing process does not include any chemical transformation of the product, which keeps its functional and nutritional properties intact.
ACACIA FIBRE products are certified non-GMO and suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. Our technical assistance provides tailor-made solutions to help you formulate healthy, safe and natural products. We are the international expert of acacia gum since 1884.
Adding more fiber, an important and necessary evolution for the world population
Many studies point out that consumers all over the world do not eat enough fiber daily. Fiber deficiency is a health topic for millions of people, as it can lead to irregular bowel movement, constipation, blood sugar fluctuations, lack of satiety after eating or a rise in cholesterol levels.
A “miracle ingredient”, acacia gum combines nutritional, functional and environmental strengths with unique properties to respond to the need for more fiber, as well as other consumers demands such as more natural, plant-based, multifunctional and sustainable ingredients.
