Watercolours are pigments ground with gum arabic and gall and thinned with water in use. 水彩颜料是由色料与阿拉伯树胶和胆汁碾磨，然后加水稀释而成。
The flavour industry uses gum arabic as a fixative in spray-drying applications where the gum encapsulates the flavour compound, protecting it from oxidation and volatilization. 香料业将阿拉伯树胶用作喷雾干燥中的固定剂，树胶将香料化合物包囊，以防止其发生氧化和挥发。
