Abstract
Guar gum is a new agrochemical derived from cluster bean endosperm. Guar gum powder is widely used as an ingredient in the culinary, pharmaceutical, paper, textile, explosive, oil well drilling, and cosmetics industries. Guar gum is made from the seeds of the drought-tolerant plant Cyamopsistetragonoloba, which belongs to the Leguminosae family. Indian cluster bean, guar, and guaran are terms for the guar gum flour and galactomannan fraction of guar gum. Guar gum's capacity to create hydrogen bonds with water molecules makes it suitable for industrial usage. As a result, it's mostly utilized as a thickener as well as stabilizer. It also aids in the management of a variety of health issues, including diabetes, bowel motions, heart disease, and colon cancer. The manufacturing, processing, composition, characteristics, food applications, and health advantages of guar gum are discussed in this article.
