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.
