摘要
Seven samples of gum from Acacia senegal trees growing in north-east Uganda have been characterized. All have negative specific rotations (-26 to -34 degrees) and nitrogen contents of 0.27-0.28% and therefore satisfy the revised JECFA specification for gum arabic. They have, however, lower methoxyl, rhamnose, and hydroxyproline contents than typical Sudanese commercial samples. In addition, the Ugandan samples vary considerably in their emulsification functionality and contain unusually high proportions of aluminium, chromium, copper and iron. Fourier-transform (13)C-NMR spectra confirm that the variations in the analytical parameters of these samples reflect differences in fine structure
