Guar Gum CAS#9000-30-0
Guar gum is a galactomannan polysaccharide obtained from the seeds of a leguminous plant, similar in composition to locust bean gum. One of its most notable characteristics is its ability to hydrate quickly in cold water, producing solutions with exceptionally high viscosity.
