Food Grade Guar Gum
Food Grade Guar Gum is a natural, high-quality ingredient derived from guar seeds. It is valued for its ability to thicken, stabilize, bind, and improve texture across a wide range of foods. With neutral taste and high solubility, it is both cost-effective and versatile. We have developed various Guar Gum grades which are specific to applications for example in Ice Cream, Bakery, Beverages, Noodles, ready-to-eat processed food and Pet Food etc.
Depolymerized Guar Gum
Depolymerized Guar Gum is a natural, soluble fiber that dissolves quickly and smoothly. It is tasteless, colorless, and odorless, supports digestion, helps control blood sugar, and keeps you full longer. Ideal for food, beverages, supplements, and cosmetics, it also stabilizes, thickens, and improves texture.
Hindustan Gum Special Guar (HSG)
HSG is an Enzymatically Modified Guar which can mimic the properties of Locust Bean Gum quite closely. HSG has equally great properties including stabilisation and suspending ability.
Gelling Ability: Similar to Locust Bean Gum, HSG is effective in strengthening the gel network of Carrageenan & Xanthan Gum, adding elasticity and improving mouthfeel. Addition of HSG reduces the Syneresis.
Suspension Properties: To achieve the same suspension properties as LBG in application, HSG can be used at around 0.2% to give stable and consistent suspension.
Applications: Ice Cream / Fruit preparations / Bakery & Others.
HSG Guar as an alternative to Locust Bean Gum: With current challenges in the supply and high cost of LBG, we would recommend our Special Guar as an alternative. With lower cost & similar usage quantity to LBG, Special Guar is the best alternative.
The current price of Special Guar is very competitive in comparison to LBG.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is food grade guar gum (E412)?
Food grade guar gum is a natural ingredient made from guar seeds. It thickens, stabilizes, binds and improves the texture of foods. It has a neutral taste and high solubility, which makes it cost-effective and versatile.
Which foods is guar gum used in?
We make application-specific grades for ice cream and dairy products, bakery products, juices and beverages, noodles, soups and gravies, ready-to-eat processed foods and pet food. In ice cream it helps prevent quick meltdown and ice crystals; in bakery it improves moisture retention and shelf life; in noodles it improves sheet formation and machine runnability.
What is Hindustan Gum Special Guar (HSG)?
HSG is an enzymatically modified guar that closely mimics locust bean gum (LBG). Like LBG, it strengthens carrageenan and xanthan gum gels, adds elasticity, improves mouthfeel and reduces syneresis. Used at around 0.2%, it gives stable, consistent suspension.
Can HSG replace locust bean gum?
Yes. HSG is used at a similar quantity to LBG at a lower cost, so it is a practical alternative when LBG supply is tight or prices are high. Typical applications are ice cream, fruit preparations and bakery.
What is depolymerized guar gum?
Depolymerized guar gum is a soluble fibre that dissolves quickly and smoothly. It is tasteless, colourless and odourless, and is used in foods, beverages, supplements and cosmetics to stabilize, thicken and improve texture.
Which food safety certifications do you hold?
Our food grade guar gum is produced at FSSC 22000, Halal and Kosher certified units. The Certifications section on this page shows which units each certificate covers, with the certificates to download.
Can I get a technical data sheet or certificate of analysis?
Yes. Send us an enquiry with the grade and application you are interested in, and we will share the technical data sheet (TDS) and a certificate of analysis (COA).
