Organic Guar And Locust Bean Gums

Guar gum and locust bean gum are natural gums derived from the seeds of the guar plant and the carob tree, respectively. They are processed into powders through grinding and sieving. These gums are soluble fibers that absorb water and form gels.

These gums are used as thickeners and stabilizers in food products. They improve texture and prevent ingredients from separating. They are commonly found in dairy products like ice cream and yogurt, as well as baked goods, sauces, and dressings.

Guar gums and locust bean gum are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are soluble fibers that may help with digestion and feelings of fullness. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated these gums. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects at typical dietary levels.
