E412 Guar Gum Powder: A Key Industrial Ingredient
During the last decade, guar gum powder has emerged as an important industrial raw material, produced by man for thousands of years. India has been the single largest producer and exporter of Guar gum powder, accounting for more than 80 percent of the global output and trade.
Guar has now assumed a larger role among domesticated plants due to its unique functional properties.
India Ranks First in the production of guar which is grown in the North Western part of the Country Which mainly includes the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana, and Punjab. Other main countries are Pakistan, U.S.A., and Brazil.
Characteristics of Guar Gum Powder
In the food industry, guar gum powder is used as a gelling agent, viscous and concentrating agent, stabilizing and moisturizing agent, curing agent, and binder. Guar gum powder is also used in the production of ice cream, drinks, flavored milk extract, chocolate milk, pudding, jam, jelly, bread, biscuits, sausages, ham, mayonnaise, pasta, etc.
The by-product of the Guar Gum Powder industry consisting of the outer seed coat and germ material is called guar meal. The Guar meal after gum Extraction is a potential source of protein and contains about 42% crude protein which is one and a half times more than the level of protein in guar seed. The protein content in guar meal is well comparable with that of oil cakes. It is used as a feed for livestock including poultry.
Guar meal contains two deleterious factors i.e. residual guar gum and trypsin inhibitor, Toasting of Guar Gum Powder improves its nutritive value in chicks. Toasted Guar Meal can be used in limited quantities i.e. Up to 10% in the Poultry diet. However, it can replace groundnut cake by almost 100% in animal feeds.
This Galactomanan is a high molecular weight carbohydrate polymer made up of a large number of mannose and galactose units linked together.

High Viscosity Guar Gum Powder
The most important property of guar gum powder is its ability to hydrate rapidly in cold water to attain high viscosity at relatively low concentrations. Known as High Viscosity Guar Gum Powder, its specific colloidal nature gives the solution an excellent thickening power, which is 6 to 10 times thicker than that obtained from starch. It is stable over a wide range of pH and also improves the flowability and pumpability of the fluid. It is a superior friction loss-reducing agent.
High Viscosity Guar Gum Powder is significantly used in many of the products we use in our daily routine to enhance their texture and feel. It is extracted through an industrial process and is utilized across various industries as a thickening and stabilizing agent.
Guar Gum Powder as a Thickener & Stabilizer Agent
Guar Gum Powder, when used as a Thickener and Stabilizing Agent, helps to prevent oil droplets from coalescing and prevents solid particles from settling. This powder is widely used in different industries like food, pharmaceutical, chemical, textile, cosmetics, and many more.
Guar Gum Powder, as a Thickener and Stabilizing Agent, also offers various health benefits and is essential in numerous industrial applications.
Guar Gum Powder Properties
- Guar gum powder has good solubility in cold & hot water and is insoluble in all organic solvents.
- The viscosity of guar gum powder depends on the amount of salt, temperature, & pH level.
- It exhibits good hydrogen bonding properties.
- It is highly compatible with organic & inorganic substances of various types. Additionally, it also shows usability with few dyes and numerous food constituents.
- The stickiness of the guar gum powder solution increases with water content.
- Guar gum in low concentration shows considerable settling properties. Hence, it also acts as a filter aid.
- It has more thickening properties than corn starch and it inhibits the growth of ice crystals.
Various Applications of Guar Gum Powder
The numerous properties of guar gum powder make it a valuable ingredient in multiple products and hence it finds a lot of applications in diverse industries.
It is extensively preferred in food industries. Guar gum powder is used in ice-creams to control the growth of crystals, moisture, and its freezing point. It is also used in bakery products, like- bread, cake, pastry, etc., as a binding agent. It imparts softness and sponginess to bakery items and is also used for retaining moisture. It shows excellent binding properties and hence it is used in the paper industry.
The addition of Guarkernmehl increases the tensile strength of the paper.
It also aids in controlling fluid & water loss and viscosity. It is an excellent lubricant and hence it is widely used in oil well stimulations and acts as an effective gelling agent and is employed in oil well stimulations for reducing gel lumping.
