POPULARITY OF GUARGUM :

The Guargum powder is manufactured by using latest processing techniques. It is an almost colorless amorphous powder, dispersible in cold and hot water to form a nearly clear colloidal solution.

Guargum powder is commonly used for food and industrial applications throughout the world. The main properties of guargum powder are as under :

	It is soluble in hot & cold water but insoluble in most organic solvents.
	It has strong hydrogen bonding properties.
	It has excellent thickening, Emulsion, Stabilizing and film forming properties.
	At very low concentration, Guargum has excellent settling (Flocculation) properties and it acts as a filter aid.
	It is non ionic and maintains a constant high viscosity over a broad range of ph.
	It is compatible with a variety of inorganic and organic substances including certain dyes and various constituents of food.
	The viscosity of Guargum solution increase gradually with increasing concentration of Guargum in water.
	The viscosity of Guargum is influenced by temperature, ph, presence of salts and other solids.
	It has excellent ability to control rheology by economic water phase management.
	It forms highly viscous colloidal dispersions when hydrated in cold water. The time required for complete hydration in water and to achieve maximum viscosities depends on various factors i.e. the ph; temperature; grade of powder used; Equipment etc.

On account of very specific properties, Guargum is commercially used in food, Feeds & Pharmaceuticals industries. It is responsible for the teture as well as the physical effects in non food applications. Guargum improves the quality of food. It has gained popularity over other gums and polysacchrides because of its increasing uses.
