<p>Natural gums, known for their stabilizing and binding properties, are widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. They are gaining attention as eco-friendly and biodegradable additives in construction materials. However, their full potential in enhancing construction materials is not yet well understood. This study critically reviews their application in soil stabilization and cement-based materials. A semantic analysis of existing literature was conducted to evaluate their influence on mechanical properties, durability, and environmental performance. Results indicate that natural gums can enhance workability, strength, and soil stability, as well as support more sustainable construction practices. Despite these advantages, challenges remain, including inconsistent biopolymer characteristics, a lack of standardized testing protocols, and limited data on long-term performance. Further research is needed to optimize dosage, establish consistent treatment methods, and assess behavior under varying environmental and loading conditions for broader practical adoption. </p>
