“Innovation inspired by nature” is the guiding principle of our supply partner Nexira.

The core business of Nexira revolves around acacia gum, which is obtained as a natural exudate from acacia trees. Their expertise extends across a broad range of ingredients from natural sources.

In addition to acacia gum and acacia fibres, their product portfolio includes high-quality plant extracts and premium extracts standardized to suit the ingredients.

Acacia gum

Acacia gum is harvested predominantly in the semi-arid regions of the Sahel, stretching from Senegal to Somalia. The outstanding properties of the exudate have long been put to good use in many international production processes.

In addition to the food and drink industry, acacia gum is also used in the dietary supplements and cosmetics industries. The product can be used as a prebiotic ingredient, source of dietary fibre, natural emulsifier, stabilizer, texturizer, and much more.

Acacia fibre

Acacia fibre has essentially the same basic properties as acacia gum. This form, however, has 90% fibre content on a dry weight basis and is classified as a Clean Label product.

Using it to achieve high fibre content improves the Nutriscore and provides nutritional-physiological benefits. Acacia fibre is a tasteless, odourless, colourless and non-hygroscopic powder. It is extremely stable, has a low viscosity and dissolves perfectly in liquid products

Acacia gum and acacia fibre are available in conventional and organic qualities.
