Hydroxypropyl Guar Gum Viscosity Natural Polysaccharide Thi

Hydroxypropyl Guar Gum Viscosity Natural Polysaccharide Thickening Guar Powder

Quick Detail:

1. Guar Gum, a natural polysaccharide, is the ground endosperm of the seed of plant Cyamposis

tetragonolobus. It has been widely cultivated for centuries in India, for both animal and human

consumption.

2. The Guar plant sprouts bean like pods that are 5-10 cms long and contain 6-8 seeds . The Guar

crop is sown after the first rains in June / July and is harvested after 3 to 4 months. Guar is a hardy,

drough resistant plant and requires moderate rainfall at regular intervals.

Description:

1. Guar gum forms highly viscous solutions when hydrated in cold water. It does not require heat

to develop viscosity. It is soluble in hot and cold water but insoluble in most organic solvents.

2. Guar gum powder is higher microbiological purity. It is a white to yellowish white powder, nearly

odorless and white a bland taste.

3. It has excellent thickening, emulsion, stabilizing and film forming properties and has strong hydrogen

bonding properties.

4. Guar Gum disperses readily in cold or hot water to form a pseudo plastic solution. It is compatible

with most other hydrocolloids and water-soluble polymers.
