Guar Gum
Guar gum is derived from the ground endosperm of the guar plant. This is a hardy and drought-resistant plant, with 14-16% of the seeds being the hull, 38-45% being the endosperm, and 40-46% being the germ.
Guar Gum Splits
De-husked guar refined split is the refined endosperm derived from the guar seed. It is mechanically separated from the seed and represents 28% to 30% of the seed volume.
Guar Gum Powder
Guar gum powder is derived from guar seeds. Guar gum powder has high low-shear viscosity compared to other hydrocolloids such as sesbania gum or locust bean gum. Guar gum powder is an effective thickener, stabilizer, binder, plasticizer and emulsifier.
One important properties of guar gum, a polysaccharide, is that it is high on galactose and mannose.
Guar gum is also known as guarkernmehl, guaran, goma guar, gomme guar and galactomannan.
