Guar Gum Powder
- Guar Powder
- The ratio of churi and korma is mostly 67%, depending upon the quality of the seed
- The churi and korma are generally used for cattle feed
Properties
This polysaccharides dissolves in water to give two hexose sugar, namely galactose and mannose. Both of these hexose sugars dissolve in cold as well as hot water, but do not dissolve in most of the organic solvents. The guar gum forms a highly viscous solution in water, even when used in minute quantity. However, strong acids cause hydrolysis, thereby reduces the viscosity. There may also be loss of viscosity when highly concentrated alkali is used. Addition of borax solution results in formation of a gelatinous mass. Guar gum is also compatible with agar, alginate and starch, among others.
Following are some of the other properties of guar gum powder
- Easily soluble in both hot and cold water
- Properties of film forming
- Remains stable in solution over wide range of pH values from 5-7
- Good thickening agent
- High viscosity
- Resistance to oils, greases and solvent
- Capacity of water binding
- Functioning at low temperatures
- Compatible with many other hydro colloids used in food formulations.
- Versatility due to number of free hydroxyl groups to make derivatives for specific applications.
