Product description
Guar gum powder is a natural thickening agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier derived from guar beans. It's a fine, off-white powder with potent thickening and stabilizing properties, making it useful in various industries. Thickening: Guar gum is a highly effective thickener, capable of increasing viscosity in liquids even at low concentrations. Stabilizing: It helps to stabilize mixtures, preventing ingredients from separating or settling out. Emulsifying: Guar gum can also act as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients. Low shear viscosity: It's known for its high low-shear viscosity, meaning it thickens more effectively at lower agitation levels. Applications: Food Industry: Used in a wide range of products like baked goods, dairy products, sauces, dressings, and ice cream to improve texture, stability, and shelf life. Pharmaceuticals: Employed as a binder and disintegrant in tablets and capsules, and also as a bulking agent. Oil and Gas Industry: Plays a crucial role in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) fluids, helping to control viscosity and suspend proppants. Other Industries: Used in paper manufacturing, textiles, cosmetics, and even explosives.
