Abstract: Gum Arabic (GA) is a soluble fiber obtained from Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal trees grown in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Sudan. It is one of the most important medicinal plants used in traditional, or alternative, medicine. The main purpose of writing this chapter is to view recent and updated information about GA, which is promising as a medicinal plant and has short- and long-term health potentiality that can be developed as future phytopharmaceuticals to manage and/or treat panoply of various diseases. Pharmacologically, GA has been confirmed to have several therapeutic actions, such as being hypoglycemic, antidiabetic, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and antiulcer. GA is used by local communities to protect against hepatic, renal, and cardiac complications in diabetic and chronic renal failure patients. The studies on the effects of GA on lipid metabolism in experimental animals are also documented. Ingestion of GA can decrease plasma cholesterol concentrations both in human and animals.
