Food applications:

Bakery:
One of the major applications for guar gum powder is the
production of bread. Even small quantities of guar gum
powder, when added to the dough, increase the yield, give
greater resilience, improve texture and give longer shelf
life. |

Dairy:
In this field, guar gum is used as an excellent binder
of water and as a stabiliser. It is used in the production
of ice creams, sherbets, cheese, liquid milk products
and others. |

Guar gum can be used as a lubricant and is an excellent
binder for various meat products. It allows storing with
less loss of weight and can decrease the filling time
for cans. |

to improve the stability and appearance of salad dressings,
