i believe they harden the fondant, set it solid. Useful for making flat panels, i saw it in a recipe for a fondant piano in an AUS book.
hope this helps,

i use gum trag and cmc in my fondant. i live in jamaica and its pretty humid here. when i do not use the gum trag the icing gets all wet and sticky and it shines. i dont like that at all. when i use the gums it keeps it from soaking up the wet air thus not getting sticky and shiny.
