Product type
Guar gum is a natural thickening agent derived from the seeds of the guar plant, primarily found in India and Pakistan. It is a polysaccharide composed of galactomannan, which gives it its unique ability to absorb water and form a gel-like consistency. This property makes guar gum an effective stabilizer and emulsifier in various food applications.
