Guar Gum Powder

Guar gum powder is odourless, having dissolving capacity in cold and hot water and making high viscosity paste. Guar gum powder viscosity is based on various factors like concentration, temperature and time. It is generally white to yellow white in nature.

  • Amba guar gum is almost insoluble with all organic solvents & soluble in hot &cold water.
  • A broad range of PH & non-ionic is maintained with stability in high viscosity.
  • With the increase of water the stickiness of Ethylene Oxide free guar gum solution also increases
  • There is a great influencing factor of salt, temperature & pH levels upon viscosity of guar gum form.
  • When Guar gum is hydrated in cold water it has high sticky colloidal dispersions.
  • There are usually various factors to ensure absolute hydration in water like which grade of powder is used, temperature & equipments to achieve maximum gumminess.
  • Amba ETO free Guar gum is very compatible with wide variety of organic & inorganic substance with also few dyes & various constituents of food.
  • Guar gum is an excellent thickening, stabilizing, film forming & emulsifying properties
  • It is observed that in low concentration, guar gum carries excellent settling properties & it also acts as filter aid.
  • ETO free Guar gum powder carries sturdy hydrogen bonding properties.
  • Guar Gum is reasonably cost effective as compared to any other thickening agent or effective binder, plasticizer.
  • Guar gum is also popularly known as gomme guar, goma guar, galactomannan, guarkernmehl, and guaran.

Properties of Guar Gum

  • Guar gum acts as a gelling agent in water.
