Guar gum is obtained from the endosperm of Guar Seed (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) of the guar plant, a leguminous plant grown in India. It is a hydrophilic polysaccharide that is highly dispersible in cold and hot water and because of this property, it can be used in a variety of water systems as a viscosifier, thickener, water binder, emulsifier and stabilizer. |
