What is Guar Gum?
Guar Gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide belonging to the galactomannan family.
It hydrates rapidly in cold water to form highly viscous solutions and provides
exceptional thickening, stabilizing, and binding properties.
Key characteristics of our Guar Gum:
Cold-water soluble with rapid hydration
Viscosity up to 8 times higher than starch
Excellent stability over a wide pH range
Synergistic performance with xanthan gum and locust bean gum
Neutral taste and odor
