Louis Francois Galligum Guar, also known as guar gum, is a versatile stabilizer, thickener, and emulsifier made from the endosperm of guar seeds. This nearly odourless, white to yellowish-white powder is known for its quick hydration and ability to easily disperse in both cold and warm water with minimal stirring.
Galligum Guar enhances gel strength and works synergistically with other stabilizers and gelling agents such as xanthan gum, carrageenan, and starches. Compared to similar products, it provides superior texture stability and smoother incorporation.
Galligum Guar is particularly valued for its ability to prevent lump formation by pre-blending with sugar or starch, making it ideal for use in desserts, confectionery, ice creams, sauces, and baked goods. It works best in pH environments between 5 and 9, offering excellent versatility across a range of culinary applications.
Use:
Incorporation:
Galligum Guar should be pre-blended with sugar or starch to avoid lumps, then dispersed gradually into cold or warm water under gentle stirring. It hydrates quickly and works well when incorporated at any stage of preparation. For best results, add slowly while mixing to ensure uniform distribution.
Application:
Recommended Dosage:
Quantum satis – Use as needed according to desired consistency and product requirements. Typically, small amounts (0.2% to 1%) are sufficient to achieve the desired thickening effect.
