Some of the exceptional chemical properties of guar gum powder that make it unique are as follows:

• Guar gum powder is one of the finest thickening additives, emulsifying additives, and stabilizing additives.
• The chemical structure of guar gum comprises of two D-mannose units associated β1–4 as the spine of the polymer with a D-galactose unit associated α1–6 to every second mannose unit.
• Guar gum powder hydrates quickly in cold water as hydrocolloids to other stabilizers and gives highly viscous pseudo-plastic solutions.
• Guar gum powder is a cost-effective thickener, stabilizer, and water-bonding agent.
• Guar gum prevents the development of ice crystals and reduces the mass transfer in the solid/liquid interface.
• Guar gum powder provides more solubility as compared to other emulsifiers because it has more galactose.
• It does not form gels like other hydrocolloids and provides good steadiness to the frozen-thaw phase.
• Guar gum powder has a polymeric formation and it contains numerous hydroxyl groups making it a useful product in food manufacturing and various other industrial units.
