<<Source

Guar gum (E412, also called guaran) is extracted from the seed of the leguminous shrub Cyamopsis tetragonoloba, where it acts as a food and water store.

Structural unit

Guar gum is a galactomannana similar to locust bean gum consisting of a (1®4)-linked b-D-mannopyranose backbone with branchpoints from their 6-positions linked to a-D-galactose (i.e. 1®6-linked-a-D-galactopyranose). There are between 1.5 - 2 mannose residues for every galactose residue.>>
