The
Guar Gum Powder we offer is Guar Gum is found in the seeds of two annual leguminous plants (Cyamopsis tetragonolobus and psoralioides). Guar Gum Powder is an edible carbohydrate polymer. It is non-ionic, free flowing low pale white colored coarse to fine grounded powder and is water soluble hydrocolloids. Guar gum is useful as a thickening agent for water and as a reagent for adsorption and hydrogen bonding with mineral and Allulosic surfaces.
Properties : The Guar Gum is a Polysaccharide which in water gives Hexose sugar, Mannose and Galactose. These Hexose sugars are soluble both in cold and hot water but it is insoluble in most of the organic solvents. In water it gives high viscosity even when used small quantity. Strong acids cause hydrolysis and loss of viscosity. Adding Borax solution will form a gelatinous mass. Guar Gum is compatible with starch, alginate, agar etc. It has properties of film forming. Moreover, the Guar Gum Powder remains stable in solution over PH values from 5 to 7.
Applications : Guar Gm is used as a thickener and emulsifier in commercial food processing. It has almost 8 times the thickening power as corn starch, and is used in dressings, sauces, milk products and baking mixes. It is also used in paper manufacturing, textiles, printing, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
Specialties : - Good thickening agent
- High Viscosity
- Resistance to oils, greases and solvents
- High viscosity
- Capacity of water binding
- Functioning at low temperatures
- Compatible with many other hydrocolloids used in food formulations
- Versatility due to number of free hydroxyl groups to make derivatives for specific applications.
