GUAR GUM POWDER
Guar gum powder is a food additive and thickening agent derived from the seeds of the guar plant. It is commonly used in the food industry to improve the texture, viscosity, and stability of various products. It is also used in different industries. Guar gum is made from guar seeds, also known as Cyamopsis tetragonoloba. "Guaran" is another name for guar gum. Compared to other hydrocolloids like locust bean gum, guar gum works well as a thickener and stabilizer. In addition to being a strong binder, plasticizer, and emulsifier, guar gum is reasonably inexpensive compared to other thickeners and stabilizers. One of the key qualities of guar gum, a polysaccharide, is its high content of galactose and mannose. Guar gum is also known as galactomannan, goma guar, gomme guar, guaran, and guarkernmehl.
