Guar Gum
Guar gum is a natural galactomannan polysaccharide extracted from the endosperm of guar beans (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), grown primarily in Rajasthan, India — which produces over 80% of the world's guar. It functions as a thickener, binder, stabiliser and viscosifier across a wide range of industries.
We supply three grades refined to different purity and viscosity specifications, each with full documentation including COA, allergen statement and grade-specific compliance certificates. All food-grade products are FSSAI certified and comply with EU food additive standard E412.
