Wissenswertes über "Guar Gum"

Guar gum is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent derived from the seeds of the guar plant (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba).

Guar gum belongs to the group of soluble fibers and is used in the food industry under the code E 412. Common applications include stabilizing sauces, desserts, baked goods, and dairy products.

Due to its strong water-binding capacity, guar gum thickens even at low concentrations, allowing for reduced use of fat or starch. This results in a lower calorie content without compromising texture or flavor. It is also widely used in gluten-free baking to improve dough structure.

Beyond food applications, guar gum is valued for its health benefits. As a soluble fiber, it supports digestive health, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and may lower cholesterol. In medicine and nutrition, it is found in dietary supplements and fiber-enriched products.
