Guar Gum

Guar gum

A polysaccharide obtained from the endosperm of the legume Cyamopsis tetragonolobus.

HOW IS IT OBTAINED?

The grains of this leguminous plant are ground to obtain a flour. This flour undergoes a process of solubilization and subsequent precipitation to remove the insoluble material, leaving it as a gum, which undergoes a washing process and is finally dried and ground to obtain a powdered product.

WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

It is used to thicken and stabilization food products, without forming gels (sauces, purees, pastry preparations…). It is resistant to heat and freezing and resists a wide range of pHs.

WHERE IS IT USED?

It is used to thicken drinks, dressings, creams and sauces. It is also used in frozen products to control water crystallization and improve textures.
