Guar Gum & Other Hydrocolloids   

GUAR GUM

The Guar pods that contain the seeds from which the split is obtained.

Unlike the preceding three, Guar Gum is not a plant exudate but is the ground endosperm of the Guar plant, the Cymopsis Tetragonolobus (fam leguminoseae). This drought resistant shrubby plant is a native of the semi arid regions of India and Pakistan.

Guar Gum is a hydrocolloidal polysaccharide of high molecular weight. It is composed of galactan and mannan units combined through glycosidic linkages (galactomannan).

Guar Gum is a whitish to yellowish white powder with a slight odour. The gum is modified to give different variations like odourless and colourless guar for food applications.Guar Gum  is used as a thickener and stabilizer in many aqueous systems in food applications like gravies, sauces, soups, soup mixes, toppings, syrups etc, cheese/dairy/frozen dessert stabilizers and industrial applications like oil drilling muds, textile printing and warp sizing, paper coating, carpet printing and mining flotation. Krystal Colloids offers Guar Gum powder of different viscosity’s ranging between 2000 and 5500 cps and granulometries between 80 to 300 mesh.
