Guar gum

What is guar gum powder?

Special Ingredients guar gum is a premium, extra-fine powder used as a natural, gluten-free food thickener, stabiliser, emulsifier and texture improver. It is a powerful thickener that produces a short texture and can be used in cold water or other liquids. It has a neutral odour and is tasteless. Guar gum thickens preparations, binds ingredients and reduces water loss. It can soften bread and dough, and can be used in gels, fruit preparations and frozen products to retain water or increase thickness. In ice cream and sorbet, it helps prevent ice crystal formation. It can also improve the stability and texture of foams. As a low-calorie thickener, it can replace starch, syrups or sugars used for thickening. In vegan and vegetarian foods, it can act as a binder in place of eggs or other protein-based binders. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Non-GMO and gluten-free.
