Guar Gum Powder

Guar Gum powder is an odorless substance with high solubility in hot and cold water, while almost insoluble in any organic solvent. The powder is ideal to create high viscosity paste. The viscosity of guar gum powder can be moderated through various factors including concentration, time and temperature.

Premium Quality Guar Gum Powder

At Matrix Gum, we take the quality of our products seriously and have put in place robust quality inspection measures to ensure delivery of the highest quality products. Our quality assurance processes run detailed tests on raw and processed (semi-finished and finished) products to ensure premium quality products every time. Our processing facility is well-equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and the latest technology to meet the highest quality standards.

Odor, protein, PH Level, color, moisture, fat contents, dissolvability, viscosity, gum content ratio, and ash content are some of the factors that influence the physical and chemical properties in guar gum. The state-of-the-art microbiological department at Matrix takes on multiple analysis and tests to control bacterial influence, and other factors that eventually have a major impact on quality control and counts of mold, pseudomonas, E-coli, and Salmonella.

Properties of Guar Gum Powder:

  • Guar gum powder is an odorless powdery substance with high solubility in hot and cold water and insoluble in organic solvents
  • The stickiness of guar gum solution can be increased with the increase in water
  • The viscosity of guar gum solution can be maintained through various factors including temperature, PH levels, concentration, salt, and others.
  • Guar gum powder gives sticky colloidal dispersions when dissolved with cold water
  • The absolute hydration of powder is dependent upon different factors including the grade of guar gum powder, temperature and equipment/tools used
  • Matrix Guar Gum powder is highly compatible with major organic and inorganic solvents as well as with different food constituents and dyes
  • Guar gum powder is an ideal thickening, stabilizing, emulsifying and fil forming agent
  • Guar gum low concentration solution has great settling properties
  • Guar gum powder carries excellent hydrogen bonding properties
  • Guar gum is a cost-effect agent for thickening, binding and plasticizing

Guar Gum

  • Guar gum plant is a drought-resistant plant
  • The guar gum acts as a gelling agent in water
  • The guar gum as higher thickening properties as compared to corn starch
  • It prevents the growth of ICE crystals.

Why Matrix Guar Gum Powder is Preferred?

Manufactured in ISO certified plants using the best manufacturing practice (BMP), our Guar powders yield targeted hydration rates. They can be used for batch mixing or “on-the-fly” mixing applications.

Guar Gum is obtained from the seeds of Cyamopsis tetragonolobus, an annual leguminous plant which is a native of the semi arid region of the Pak/Indo Sub-Continent. It is composed of galactan and mannan units combined through glycosidic linkages (galactomannan). Guar is a natural cold water soluble polymer, so it can be used as a thickener, stabilizer, viscofier, rheology control agent, bodying, clouding agent and for processing aid either alone or with other gums, hydrocolloids, starches etc.
