guar gum food grade

Description :

Guar gum,also called guaran,is a galactomannan.It is primarily the ground endosperm of guar beans.It can be used in various multiphase formulations:as an emulsifier because it helps to prevent oil droplets from coalescing,and/or as a stabilizer because it helps to prevent solid particles from settling.
Chemically, guar gum is a polysaccharide composed of the sugars galactose and mannose. The backbone is a linear chain of β1,4-linked mannose residues to which galactose residues are 1,6-linked at every second mannose, forming short side-branches. 
Guar gum is more soluble than locust bean gum and is a better stabilizer,In water, it is nonionic and hydrocolloidal. It is not affected by ionic strength or pH, but will degrade at pH extremes at temperature (e.g. pH 3 at 50 °C).It remains stable in solution over pH range 5-7. Strong acids cause hydrolysis and loss of viscosity, and alkalies in strong concentration also tend to reduce viscosity. It is insoluble in most hydrocarbon solvents.
