TL;DR: In this paper, a solid supplement with calcium glycerophosphate, vitamin D, vitamin C, vegetable oil and a gum selected from the group consisting of gum arabic, gum tragacanth and xanthan gum is described.
Abstract: The present invention relates to calcium supplements and, in particular, to a solid supplement fortified with calcium glycerophosphate, vitamin D, vitamin C, vegetable oil and a gum selected from the group consisting of gum arabic, gum tragacanth and xanthan gum; to a beverage concentrate or additive (liquid or powder) containing calcium, vitamin D, a vegetable oil and a gum; and to a beverage made by reconstituting such beverage concentrates and additives to make a liquid nutritional product fortified with both calcium and vitamin D, and preferably having a low pH. Concentrates may be diluted with water or juices.

TL;DR: GAr is a plant-derived natural polysaccharidic gum, which is originally extracted from Acacia nilotica tree, belonging to the family, Leguminosae, and is currently under investigation for its role in food safety and phytochemical properties.
Abstract: GAr is a plant-derived natural polysaccharidic gum, which is originally extracted from Acacia nilotica tree, belonging to the family, Leguminosae (Ali et al. in Food Chem Toxicol 47:1–8, 2009; Dauqan and Abdullah in Am J Appl Sci 10:1270–1279, 2013).

TL;DR: The result suggests that Mexican oregano essential oil emulsions can be used as an antifungal against of C. albicans.
Abstract: This study examined the impact of emulsifier type on the physicochemical characteristics and antifungal capacity of oregano oil-in-water emulsions: Tween 80, hydroxylated soy lecithin, and gum arabic. GC/MS analysis showed that the major components of the Lippia graveolens essential oils were thymol (31.7%), p-cymene (18.7%), and carvacrol (14.6%). The oil-in-water emulsions were made using ultrasonic technology in which thymol and carvacrol quantities were 12.26–13.67 g/L and 5.6–6.2 g/L, respectively. The droplet size of the emulsions followed the next descendent order: gum arabic > lecithin > T80. The zeta potential of the emulsions favored the stability against coalescence. Finally, the antifungal activity of the emulsions was evaluated, in which, 30 µL/mL of gum arabic or hydroxylated soy lecithin emulsions inhibited the growth of Candida albicans. The result suggests that Mexican oregano essential oil emulsions can be used as an antifungal against of C. albicans.
