Technical description

Sauce that runs in the pack, gluten-free dough that falls apart and dairy that releases whey are viscosity and water-retention failures — not flavor problems. Guar Gum is a galactomannan (INS 412) extracted from the endosperm of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba seed: a linear mannose backbone with galactose side chains that hydrates in cold water and raises viscosity at low dosage. It works as thickener, stabilizer and moisture-retention agent, with pseudoplastic behavior and a well-known synergy with xanthan gum for firmer body. Supplied as a high-purity powder with traceable lots and technical support on viscosity grade and dosage for foods, pet food and waterborne industrial formulations.

We recommend evaluating polymer matrix, thermal cycle and process conditions before setting optimal dosage. Our application team supports lab and pilot trials through industrial qualification.
