What it is

Guar gum and cellulose gum are plant-derived thickening and stabilizing agents. Guar gum comes from the ground seeds of the guar bean, while cellulose gum is a modified form of cellulose, a natural polymer found in plant cell walls. They are processed to create fine powders that dissolve in water.

Why it's used

These gums are added to foods to improve texture, prevent ingredients from separating, and create a smoother mouthfeel. They are commonly found in baked goods like cakes and pies, as well as dairy products, sauces, and dressings.

Health notes

Guar gum and cellulose gum are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are dietary fibers that can contribute to digestive regularity. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated these gums and established acceptable daily intakes. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. They are derived from plants and do not contain gluten.
