What it is
Guar gum is a dietary fiber derived from the guar bean, a legume grown primarily in India and Pakistan. It is processed to create a powder that is soluble in water and acts as a thickening and stabilizing agent.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use guar gum to thicken, stabilize, and emulsify foods, improving their texture and preventing ingredients from separating. It is commonly found in dairy products like ice cream and cottage cheese, as well as sauces, baked goods, and dressings.
Health notes
Guar gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a soluble fiber, it can help promote feelings of fullness and may aid in digestion. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated guar gum. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Guar gum is derived from guar beans, which are legumes. It is not one of the FDA's nine major allergens and does not contain gluten.
