Guar Gum is a complex
carbohydrate derived from the
seed of specially grown bean
plants. This carbohydrate is a
long chain linear molecule with
a molecular weight of
approximately 1 million. The
long polymer chains attract and
weakly capture water; as well as
physically tangle with one
another in solution thus
producing viscosity when mixed
with water. Guar beans are grown
primarily in Pakistan and India.
The beans are harvested and
dried following the growing
season. The beans are shelled
from the pods, the germ and hull
removed. The resulting splits
are wet-milled into powder, the
powder is graded by granulation
and quality. Products are
re-blended according to
specification, bagged and
marked.
What is Guar
Gum?
Guar Gum is derived from
endosperm of the guar plant (Cyamopsis
tetragonoloba). Guar is a legume
crop, which grows best in sandy
soils and needs moderate,
intermittent rainfall with lots
of sunshine.
Where is Guar Gum used?
Guar gum is used as a thickening
and binding agent in the food,
textile, paper, pharmaceutical
and oil industry. Highly refined
guar gum is used in the food
industry as a stabilizer in ice
creams, as a meat binder and a
stabilizer for cheeses, instant
puddings and whipped cream
substitutes. Guar gum is used in
industrial applications
including cloth and paper
manufacture, oil well drilling,
explosives, ore flotation, and
many other applications.
What are the properties of Guar
Gum?
Guar Gum is a natural high
molecular weight polysaccharide
composed of galactose and
mannose units combined through
glycosidic linkages. It is a
white to cream-colored powder,
which is available in different
viscosities and granulometries
depending on the applications.
1
Easy solubility in both cold and
hot water
2 Stable in solutions over a
wide range of pH values from 2 -
10
3 Film forming property
4 Resistance to oils, greases
and solvent
5 Better thickening agent
6 Water binding capacity
7 High viscosity
8 Functioning at low
temperatures
9 Compatible with many other
hydrocolloids used in food
formulations
10Versatility due to number of
free hydroxy groups to make
derivatives for specific
applications
