Guar Gum: An Allied in Food Industry
Polysaccharides are polymeric molecules of several moiety sugars linked by glycosidic bond; which can have a high polymerization grade, and hence, high molecular weight. Vegetal polysaccharides are the most important in food, they are found in leaves, peels, exudates, fruits, seeds, etc. In this sen...

| Sumario: | Polysaccharides are polymeric molecules of several moiety sugars linked by glycosidic bond; which can have a high polymerization grade, and hence, high molecular weight. Vegetal polysaccharides are the most important in food, they are found in leaves, peels, exudates, fruits, seeds, etc. In this sense, guar gum is a polysaccharide extracted from Cyamopsis tetragonoloba plant, due to its characteristics, is widely used in food industry as texture improver in products like bread, yogurt, cakes, sausages, among others. In the present review, the main properties of guar gum, its stability, and its applications in several fields of food industry are presented. |
