Guar Gum Powder
Guar Gum – A Natural Thickening Agent
Guar Gum is the ground endosperm of the seeds of natural strains of the Guar plant, Cyamopsis Tetragonolobus (family Leguminosae) mainly used for Thickening, Binding Agent & Stabilization.
Among various natural agro products, guar gum occupies a very important place, as it is a rich source of high quality galactomannan polysaccharide. Guar Gum is extracted from guar seeds. The seeds from this plant are allowed to dry in sun. After drying the seeds in the sun, they are separated and processed into a flour which is known as guar gum powder.
The processing technique of guar gum depends on the requirement of the end product. The guar gum powder has more thickening ability than cornstarch. It not only works as a thickener but also works as binder and plasticizer as well. Guar gum is easily soluble in water and has a natural ability to bind with water molecules. Without a binder like guar gum, different ingredients in might separate into watery mess as far as creamy processed foods are concerned.
