Product type
Guar gum powder is a natural thickening agent derived from the seeds of the guar plant, primarily found in India and Pakistan. It is composed of galactomannan, a polysaccharide that absorbs water and forms a gel-like consistency when mixed with liquids. This property makes guar gum an effective stabilizer and emulsifier in various food products.
