Ameen Foods Guar Gum (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent derived from the seeds of the guar bean. Processed into a fine, off-white powder, it is valued across culinary, industrial, and cosmetic applications for its exceptional ability to create viscosity and improve texture.

In the kitchen, Guar Gum acts as a moisture-retaining and texture-enhancing ingredient, helping improve consistency and extend shelf life in sauces, dressings, and dairy products. It’s also used in ice cream to prevent ice crystal formation and in gluten-free baking to provide structure and elasticity. In beverages, it serves as an efficient thickener and stabilizer, ensuring a smooth, uniform blend.

Beyond food, Guar Gum’s versatility extends to industrial and cosmetic uses — serving as a binding, suspending, and emulsifying agent in products ranging from paper and mining materials to skincare and pharmaceuticals.
