Abstract

In this paper a different amount of sugar (0.1, 0.2, 0.3grams) were added to four types of Gum Arabic, namely (hashab, talha, cacamot and neem), then carefully, thoughtfully and thoroughly their physical properties were studied using Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) devices; referring  to the experimental implications, it had been observed and monitored that, the value of energy gap was increasing  accordingly, to  doping affectedness, and wherever this phenomenon, “is being achieved”, it’s led to an insulator behavior, supportively. Therefore, the doping effectiveness on the full width at half maximum (FWHM) was occurred, whenever, altering the thicknesses of the length values of the wave, apparently.
