The galactomannan polysaccharide known as guar gum, also known as guaran, is obtained from guar beans and possesses thickening and stabilizing qualities that are helpful in feed, food, and various industrial applications.
Guar gum is used as a thickening ingredient in both human and animal food and medication. It is used as an addition to switching out wheat flour in baked items because it is gluten-free. It has been demonstrated to lower blood sugar levels and serum cholesterol. Guar gum is also cost-effective because only a tiny amount is required to produce a sufficient viscosity. It has a water-thickening capacity that is almost eight times more than other agents (such as cornflour). Therefore, most manufacturers utilize guar gum in production processes as it offers a cost-effective solution.
