Food Grade Guar Gum Cas No. 9000-30-0 Food Additive Guar Guar Gum Powder

Product Description:

Guar gum, also known as guar gum, is a thickener and stabilizer of natural plant origin. It is extracted from the seeds of the guar plant, which is native to India and Pakistan. Guar gum has been used for centuries in food, pharmaceutical and industrial applications. The main component of guar gum is a polysaccharide called galactomannan. It consists of long chains of mannose units linked together with side galactose groups. This unique structure gives guar gum its thickening and stabilizing properties. When guar gum is added to a liquid, it hydrates and forms a thick solution or gel. It has excellent water-holding capacity and can increase viscosity and improve texture in many products.

One of the significant advantages of guar gum is its ability to form a gel even in cold water, making it suitable for many applications. It exhibits pseudoplastic behavior, meaning it thins when subjected to shear forces such as stirring or pumping, and returns to its original viscosity when at rest.

Application:

Guar gum has a wide range of applications in the food industry, where it is used as a thickening agent in sauces, dressings, baked products, ice cream and beverages. It provides a smooth, creamy texture that helps prevent syneresis, or liquid separation from the gel.

In addition to its thickening properties, guar gum also acts as a stabilizer, preventing ingredients in various formulations from settling or separating. It improves the shelf life and overall stability of food and beverage products.

In addition, guar gum has found applications in the pharmaceutical, textile printing, paper, cosmetics and oil drilling industries. Overall, guar gum is a widely used natural thickener and stabilizer that provides viscosity, texture, and stability to a variety of products across industries.
