Food Grade Guar Gum
The galactomannan thickener at the centre of the group's business, from Non-GMO Indian guar.
Food Grade Guar Gum
Guar gum is the ingredient the Chimique group was built on. Our parent company, Chimique® India Ltd, has manufactured guar gum powder and guar meal since 1981 and ships it worldwide from distribution centres in the USA, Germany and Canada.
Food grade guar gum is a cold-water-soluble galactomannan that builds viscosity at low inclusion, making it one of the most cost-effective thickeners available. It works in synergy with xanthan gum and with kappa carrageenan.
What it brings to the formulation
- Cold-water soluble — no heating step required
- High viscosity at low inclusion levels
