Direct product answer
What is food grade Guar Gum?
Food grade guar gum is produced mainly from the endosperm of guar seeds and consists primarily of high-molecular-weight galactomannan. FAO/JECFA identifies it as INS 412 and CAS 9000-30-0.
Commercial suitability depends on the exact grade, source, test method, application and destination-market rules. The current signed specification and batch COA govern a transaction.
Application screening
Common food grade Guar Gum applications
These are formulation areas, not universal approvals. Confirm legal use, dosage and technical performance for the finished product.
Bakery and fillings
Support water management, softness and process consistency in suitable formulas.
Dairy and frozen desserts
Evaluate body, ice-crystal control and synergy with other stabilizers.
Dry mixes
Control dispersibility, lumping and hydration through particle and process design.
Supplied technical data
Food grade Guar Gum reference specification
The table reproduces the supplied sheet for procurement screening. It is not a batch COA or a statement of universal regulatory limits.
| Test item | Specification |

| Loss on drying | ≤15.0% |
| Ash | ≤1.5% |
| Acid-insoluble matter | ≤7.0% |
| Borate test | Passes |
| Protein | ≤7.0% |
| Starch test | Passes |
| Total arsenic (as As) | ≤3.0 mg/kg |
| Lead (Pb) | ≤2.0 mg/kg |
| Total viable count | ≤5,000 CFU/g |
| Coliform group | ≤30 MPN/g |
Specification and identity note: The attachment uses C6H10O5 as a molecular formula. Guar gum is a variable galactomannan polymer, so purchasing specifications should focus on viscosity method, hydration rate, particle size, purity and microbiological limits rather than a single small-molecule formula.
