Ubiquitous Component

Whenever we are drinking a soda, gulping a capsule, nibbling on a jelly bean or just licking a postage stamp, we are consuming an essentially omnipresent constituent or element: gum arabic or gum acacia. It is a unique variety of natural gum owing to its property of being extremely soluble in water and its lack of taste.

Company History

In 1960, Shri. Kantilal P. Maniyar discovered that the properties of water-soluble plant gums can be used in several applications. In order to secure his supplies, he started importing premium quality Gum Acacia in 1968 from The Gum Arabic Co. Ltd., and eventually positioned this product for use in new confectionery, pharmacy, textile printing and paper finishing markets. These original uses of plant gums revolutionized these industries and saw the birth and successful rise of Kantilal Brothers. 

Know

To back-up its international growth, the company invested in a technical and commercial structure and under the leadership of Mr. S.K. Maniyar, established an advanced facility at Mulund in Mumbai. Today, Kantilal Brothers is a leading manufacturer, importer, exporter, trader and supplier of Gum Acacia Powder, Gum Acacia Crystal, Gum Guar, Gum Acacia Spray Dried, etc.

Though our primary focus continues to be Gum Acacia, over the years we have diversified and today, we also deal in Shellac Powder, Bees Wax, Gum Copal, etc. Today, our company has an extensive network spreading across Sudan, Nigeria, Indonesia and China, from where we import our products. We are an export oriented company exporting extensively to UK, USA, Germany and Japan.

Product Application

As a food additive, Kantilal Brothers' gum acacia has been widely regarded safe for human consumption. In beverages, gum arabic aids the citrus and other oil-based flavors to remain evenly suspended in water. In confectionery, glazes and artificial whipped creams, gum arabic helps flavor oils and fats to remain uniformly distributed, clogs crystallization of sugar, condenses chewing gums and jellies, and gives soft candies a good feel.

In cough drops and lozenges, gum arabic has a soothing effect on irritated mucous membranes. Many dry-packaged products such as instant drinks, beverages, dessert mixes and soup bases, use it to boost the shelf life of flavors. In cosmetics too, it has a smoothing effect on creams, fixatives and lotions.
