Effects of gum Arabic
Acacia senegal on water and electrolyte balance in healthy mice.
This zone comprises natural stands of
Acacia senegal trees and plantations created by reforestation projects.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mycorrhizal inoculation on the growth and responses of
Acacia senegal under various water status.
In the example from Northern Kenya, the communal asset remained the same (the
Acacia senegal trees) but the use of this asset was dramatically changed from one which was destructive and unsustainable (charcoal production) to one which was both sustainable and supportive of national environmental goals (gum arabic production).
Acacia arabica is native to India, but its gum yield is inferior to
Acacia senegal - the true gum arabic.

Acacia senegal is the only species in the sampled community to produce abundant nectar.
Some
acacia senegal is actively cultivated, and sometimes it is used as a fallow crop or for intercropping.
The
Acacia Senegal, meanwhile, seals in moisture, promotes a balanced scalp and brings vibrancy back to dull hair.
Gum arabic (GA) is considered as an edible, dehydrated, sticky exudates excreted from the stems and branches of
Acacia Senegal and Acacia seyal.
These regions have a high natural population of
Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal from which local communities actively collect gum arabic (Beentje 1994, Chikamai and Gachathi 1994, Chikamai and Odera 2002).
