Food Application

Frozen Foods:

Guar gum has important role in ice cream stabilization because of its water binding properties.

Beverages:

Guar gum is used in beverages for thickening and viscosity control because of its several inherent properties. It is soluble in cold water which makes it easy to use in beverage processing plants. It improves the shelf life of beverages.

Functions: Guar Gum acts as a suspending agent in fruit beverages, maintains viscosity, Improves mouth feel.

Used in: Cocoa drinks, fruit juices, sugarless and alcoholic beverages.

Dairy Products:

Guar gum in dairy products improves the body, texture, chewiness and heat shock resistance. It decreases syneresis and improves the textural and rheological properties of low-fat yoghurt comparable with full-fat yogurt.

Functions: Guar Gum works as crystal growth controller, moisture loss controller, freezer burn reducer. syneresis controller, freezing point and thaw separation controller

Used in: Yogurt, desserts, mousse, cheese etc.

Bakery Products:

Addition of guar gum in cake and biscuit dough improves the machinability of the dough that is easily removed from the mold and can be easily sliced without crumbling.

Functions: In wheat bread dough, addition of guar gum results in significant increase in loaf volume on baking.

Used in: Breads, cakes, pastries, biscuits, chocolate, jellies etc.

Salad Dressings & Sauces :

it acts as an emulsion stabilizer by enhancing the viscosity of water phase and hence decreasing the separation rate of the water and oil phase.

Functions: Its cold water dispersibility and compatibility with high acidic emulsions enable it to use as thickener in salad dressing,

Used in: Mixed salads, various sauces and other food dressing items.

Confectionery :

Guar gum powder acts as a thickening and gelling agent that provide thickening without stiffness and can help in the formation of different gels such as jelly and other desserts. Increase the viscosity in Confectionery.

Functions: As moisture retaining agent, dough controller, binding agent, film forming agent, jelling agent, bloom controller, agar and gelatin replacer, glazing agent etc.

Used in chewable gummy bears, chocolate-coated confectionery, marshmallows, jelly beans and many more.

Ketchup & Pickles :

Guar gums act an excellent binding agent and emulsifier. They add good viscosity to the liquid substances.

Functions: When added in soups and sauces, guar gum absorbs the excess water present in them and therefore makes these food products natural viscous. It enhance the shelf life of the sauces and soups prepared.

It also acts as acid resistant and water binder in salad dressing in the preparations of viscous liquid food items like pickles, soups and relishes.

These are absolutely safe for consumption. Hence they are widely used in the pickle making and ketchup & sauces making industry.

Used in: product to enhance thickness and free flowing nature.Guar gum powder keep the food fresh and intact till its reaches the pet. It is easier to stabilize the other ingredients and can the pet food to make it handy.

It works as a gelling and moisture retaining agent and becomes good thickener and suspending agent for pet foods.

Functions: Guar Gum is frequently used as a food additive in processed foods. Guar gum is a water-soluble gum that reduces fat migration in pet food and can also aid the digestion of amino acids (this is why some wet dog food brands look thick and gelatinous from the can).

Used in : ingredient are wet canned food for pets, calf milk replacer, etc.

Pharmaceutical :

Guar gum powder performs as binding and disintegrating agent in medicine preparation.

Functions:

It is used as laxatives to increase transit and stool time in intestine. In anti-inflammatory drug production it is applied for its suspending property. It helps in reducing blood glucose and lipid lowering.

Used in: as Guar gum is also used as a binding agent in the production of tablets. In addition, guar gum–based hydrogel, microparticle, and nanoparticle formulations are also studied in the pharmaceutical field.It has more than 8 times the thickening potency of cornstarch, and is well known for its conditioning properties.
