Product Profile of Guar Gum Powder
Guar Gum Powder is soluble in hot and cold water but insoluble in most organic solvents. Amba Gums & Feeds Products manufactures Guar Gum Powder.
Amba Gums & Feeds Products is an ISO awarded company that also manufactures wide range of gum products with different specifications. Guar Gum Powder is non-ionic and maintains a constant high viscosity over a broad range of pH. The viscosity of its solution increases gradually with increasing concentration of guar gum in water. At very low concentration, guar gum has excellent settling [flocculation] properties and it acts as a filter aid.
For salient features of Guar Gum Powder are:
- The viscosity of its solution increases gradually with increasing concentration of guar gum in water.
- Temperature, pH, presence of salts and other solids influence the viscosity of guar gum solution.
- Guar gum forms highly viscous colloidal dispersions when hydrated in cold water. The time required for complete hydration in water and to achieve maximum viscosity depend on various factors, i.E., the pH, temperature, grade of powder used and equipment etc.
- Guar gum is compatible with a variety of inorganic and organic substances including certain dyes and various constituents of food.
