Guar Gum Powder Food Grade E 412 - 5000 pcs

Guar gum E 412 - 5,000 cps: Versatile plant-based additive

Properties and effects

Guar gum, known as E 412, is a natural food additive with remarkable thickening properties. Even small amounts are enough to make liquids viscous. This special guar gum has a viscosity of 5000 cps and exhibits interesting behaviour under the influence of shear forces:

• When agitated (shaking, stirring), it becomes thinner
• When at rest, it regains its original viscosity

An additional advantage: it dissolves easily in cold and hot water.

Multiple areas of application

Guar gum is used in numerous foods:

• Soups and sauces: Improves consistency and stability
• Dairy products and ice cream: Provides creaminess and prevents ice crystal formation
• Jams and preserves: Optimises texture
• Meat products: Binds free water
• Baked goods: Extends the freshness of bread

Notes

Guar gum can be used in combination with other thickeners such as xanthan gum or locust bean gum. We recommend not using more than 2 % in foods. For the preparation of soups, for example, approx. 0.8 % is sufficient. The use of guar gum in the production of organic foods is possible (subject to the limitations), but this is conventional quality. Guar gum should be stored in a dry, cool and well-sealed place.
