Also known as guaran, guar gum is basically a galactomannan and is the ground endosperm of guar beans. The powder is white or off white in colour, odourless and is obtained after the seeds are de-husked, milled and screened. India is the top producer of this powder.

There are many processing techniques which depend on the requirement of the end product and come in different viscosities. It has the property of being cold water soluble which allows it to get hydrated without heating. This is an advantage as this property makes it very useful in food and industrial applications.

There are two types of guar gum powders available in the market. These types depend on active matter content, granulation, pH, viscosity and degree of substitution. They are food grade and industrial grade powders. Food grade powder is used in food such as frozen, baked, sauces, salad, dairy preparations, confectionaries, beverages, even pet food products, cosmetics and even pharmaceutical applications where as industrial grade powder is used in paper, explosive, mining, oil drilling industries, etc. 

This powder is used as a thickener too as when added to a mixture, the viscosity is increased which in turn provides body, stability and suspending action is also improved. They are often used as food additives as they do not modify its properties such as taste. Other than these, they are also used as emulsifiers, bonding agent, stabilizer, hydrocolloid, gelling agent, soil stabilizer, flocculants, natural fibre, fracturing agent, etc.
