A Premium Natural Hydrocolloid
Guar Gum Powder, also referred to as guaran, is extracted from guar seeds and demonstrates significantly higher low-shear viscosity compared to other hydrocolloids such as locust bean gum. This natural agricultural product serves as a valuable source of high-grade galactomannan polysaccharides, making it an essential ingredient across multiple industries.
Guar seeds undergo a systematic three-stage process involving dehusking, milling, and screening to produce the final guar gum powder. The resulting product is a free-flowing, pale, off-white colored powder available in various particle sizes from coarse to fine ground specifications. The powder exhibits excellent water solubility and possesses natural water-binding properties due to its molecular structure.
Guar gum delivers superior thickening performance compared to alternative hydrocolloids including locust bean gum, carboxymethyl cellulose, and cellulose gum. A key technical characteristic is its low-shear viscosity, which measures six times higher than its high-shear viscosity, providing optimal performance across different processing conditions.

Gavar Gam (Guar Gum Powder)
Industries: Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics, Oil & Gas, Textile
Functions: Thickener, Emulsifier, Stabilizer, Binding Agent
Description
Gavar Gam, commonly known as Guar Gum, is a natural polysaccharide extracted from the endosperm of guar beans (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba). It is a galactomannan composed of galactose and mannose sugars, known for its high viscosity and water-binding properties. Guar gum is a free-flowing, off-white to pale yellow powder, odorless, and soluble in cold water, forming a viscous solution.
It is widely used across various industries due to its excellent thickening, emulsifying, stabilizing, and binding properties. In the food industry, it serves as a dietary fiber and is utilized in gluten-free products. In industrial applications, it is valued for its ability to control water migration and enhance viscosity.
Applications
Food Industry: Guar gum is used as a thickener and stabilizer in various food products, including ice creams, sauces, soups, and baked goods. It enhances texture, prevents syneresis, and extends shelf life. Its high fiber content also contributes to its use in dietary supplements.
Pharmaceutical Industry: In pharmaceuticals, guar gum acts as a binder and disintegrant in tablet formulations. It is also used in controlled drug release systems due to its swelling properties and biocompatibility.
Oil & Gas Industry: Guar gum is employed in hydraulic fracturing as a gelling agent to increase the viscosity of fracturing fluids, aiding in the transport of proppants into fractures. Its ability to form high-viscosity solutions makes it ideal for this application.
