What it is

Guar gum is a dietary fiber derived from the ground endosperm of guar beans. The beans are processed to separate the endosperm, which is then milled into a fine powder. This powder is a white to yellowish-white, odorless substance.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add guar gum to foods as a thickener and stabilizer. It helps improve the texture and consistency of products, preventing ingredients from separating. It is commonly found in dairy products, baked goods, sauces, dressings, and beverages.

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 digestive regularity. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated guar gum, and it is permitted for use in many countries. Some studies suggest it may have a modest effect on blood sugar and cholesterol levels, though more research is needed.

Allergen info

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