Guar Gum powder
Guar Gum (Guar Bean Gum, E412 INCI: Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba (Guar) Gum) is natural hydrocolloid extracted from endosperm of Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba seeds, main component is galactomannan polysaccharide. It delivers powerful thickening, suspending and stabilizing performance, available in food‑grade E412 and cosmetic‑personal care grade.
We supply multiple viscosity grades and mesh sizes, Non‑GMO, complying with ISO22000, HACCP, GMP, HALAL & KOSHER, US GRAS and EU CosIng. Widely used in dairy, ice‑cream, sauce, gluten‑free bakery, plant‑based beverage, shampoo, conditioner and emulsion formulas. Stable batches, factory wholesale price, free samples and full COA, viscosity test report & SDS documents are provided.

Formulation Benefits: Why Guar Gum Is a Versatile Hydrocolloid Workhorse
Powerful thickening at low cost. Guar Gum’s galactomannan molecular chain expands rapidly in water, delivering high viscosity at low usage levels – one of the most cost-effective natural thickeners available.
Cold-water soluble – no heating required. Unlike many hydrocolloids, Guar Gum hydrates in cold water, making it ideal for cold-process manufacturing and reducing energy costs.
Synergistic with other hydrocolloids. Blends with Xanthan Gum or Locust Bean Gum to enhance gel strength and texture – giving formulators greater flexibility.
- Low-dosage high efficiency: Cost-effective thickening – reduces raw material spend.
- Cold-water soluble: No heating needed – lowers energy costs and simplifies production.
- Suspending & stabilizing: Prevents separation in foods and emulsions.
- Synergistic gelation: Works with xanthan/locust bean gum for enhanced texture.
- Dual-grade versatility: Food E412 and cosmetic-grade – one ingredient, multiple applications.
- Clean-label friendly: Non-GMO · Vegan · Gluten-Free – meets consumer expectations.
Tip: Guar Gum is highly hygroscopic. Always keep containers tightly sealed after opening. Moisture exposure causes surface hydration that permanently reduces viscosity – this is the #1 cause of batch failure. Store in cool, dry conditions below 25°C.
Controlled Production Process for Consistent Viscosity
Complete Manufacturing Steps
- Premium mature guar bean seed sorting, remove impurity & bad beans.
- Dehulling process, separate high‑purity guar seed endosperm fraction.
- High‑pressure washing + UV disinfection to reduce microbial load.
- Fine grinding & crushing of guar endosperm.
- Multi‑step purification and impurity‑removal treatment.
- Sieving & classification to obtain different viscosity and mesh grades.
- Moisture‑proof vacuum sealed packaging with unique batch trace‑code.
Operated in ISO22000/HACCP GMP food-grade workshop. Strict moisture control during processing prevents pre-hydration, ensuring consistent viscosity performance batch after batch – critical for food and cosmetic formulation reliability.
Supply Chain Stability & Export Readiness
120 tons annual capacity with 8–15 tons ready stock across multiple viscosity grades. Dedicated climate-controlled dry warehouses prevent moisture absorption and pre-hydration. Bulk tier pricing available for long-term framework agreements.
