Guar gum is a natural, multifunctional thickening agent derived from the seeds of guar beans, which are mainly cultivated in India. The production process includes extracting the galactomannan polysaccharide from the beans, followed by dehusking, hydrating, grinding, and screening to create a fine, off-white powder. This natural hydrocolloid is celebrated for its ability to create thick solutions even at low concentrations and is easily soluble in cold water, providing approximately eight times the thickening power of other similar agents.
