Guar is an erect annual herb of the legume family Guar, with a 5-sided stem and compound leaves. Guar is native to Africa or tropical Asia and is mainly used as a vegetable, fodder, and green manure, etc. It is cultivated in the semi-arid regions of the western part of the Indo-Pakistani subcontinent. Guar seed endosperm is rich in non-ionic galactomannan, or guar gum, which has very important applications in industry.
Galactomannan (abbreviated GM) is a polysaccharide containing a mannose backbone with a galactose parabase, or more precisely, a linear (1-4)-linked beta-D-mannopyranose backbone with a (1-4)-linked beta-D-mannopyranose backbone that is connected to an alpha-mannopyranose backbone at 6-linked points. They are 6-linked to alpha-D-galactose polysaccharide, i.e. 1-6-linked alpha-D-galactopyranose. It is similar to white powder, odorless, tasteless, acid and salt resistant, good thermal stability. It is soluble in water and the aqueous solution is transparent, neutral and has a very low viscosity.
Galactomannan has very low heat (0.8k/kg) and has various physiological functions, which can promote the proliferation of bifidobacteria in the small intestine, prevent constipation, colon cancer, cardiovascular disease and lower blood pressure blood sugar can be used as a thickening agent in the food industry.
