Description

What is guar gum?

Guar gum is extracted from the seeds of a type of legume. In fact, guar gum is made by soaking the seeds, extracting the small inner layer containing gum, and grinding it into a fine powder. The most well-known gum extracted from seeds is guar gum, which comes from seeds grown in India and Pakistan. Due to the unique technical properties of guar gum, it is added to frozen dairy products to help maintain the texture of the product after thawing and refreezing (especially during transportation). Additionally, guar gum is a useful tool for farmers as it grows in drought conditions, its roots return nitrogen to the soil, improve soil quality, and increase the yield of subsequent crops. This group of gums is best used for stabilizing and thickening soups, sauces, beverages, and dairy products. It has a very high water absorption capacity and even in cold water quickly increases viscosity significantly. Research shows that guar gum’s water-holding capacity and tendency to gel are such that it can swell up to 10 to 20 times its original size!
