Guar gum is a white to cream powder made from the ground endosperm of the seeds of the guar plant (cyamopsis tetragonolobus). As a natural thickening agent and emulsifier, guar gum is used to thicken beverages and sauces, control ice crystal formation in ice cream, and extend the shelf life of baked goods. Guar gum provides a smooth mouthfeel, while binding water molecules to improve texture and consistency.

Guar gum is a galacto-mannan. Guar gum is similar in composition to Locust Bean Gum, however it is capable of creating a viscous colloidal solution in cold water. Excessive heat can degrade the gum, so it is best to use guar gum in the temperature range of 25 – 40 °C for optimal viscosity.

AEP Colloids is one of the leading guar gum suppliers in the industry. For more information on purchasing guar gum, please contact us online or call us at 1-800-848-0658 today!
