What it is

Guar gum is a dietary fiber derived from the ground endosperm of guar beans. It is a soluble fiber that absorbs water to form a gel. It is processed by milling the guar beans to separate the endosperm from the germ and hull.

Why it's used

Guar gum is used as a thickener and stabilizer in many food products. It helps to improve texture, prevent ice crystal formation in frozen foods, and keep ingredients from separating. It is commonly found in ice cream, yogurt, sauces, and baked goods.

Health notes

Guar gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a soluble fiber, it can help promote feelings of fullness and may aid in digestive regularity. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated guar gum and have not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Some individuals may experience gas or bloating when consuming large amounts of guar gum.

Allergen info

Guar gum is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
