Hydroxypropyl guar gum is a kind of polysaccharide composed of D-galactose and D-glucose monomers. It has the following properties:
Water solubility: Hydroxypropyl guar gum can dissolve in water to form a viscous solution and can also form a colloid.
Viscosity: Hydroxypropyl guar gum has a very high viscosity and can be used as an adhesive.
Stability: Hydroxypropyl guar gum has good stability under acidic and neutral conditions, but it degrades under alkaline conditions.
Stability: Hydroxypropyl guar gum has excellent heat and cold resistance.

Product application:

The uses of guar gum include:
Application in the food industry
It plays an excellent stabilizing role in cold drinks such as ice cream, popsicles, ice cream and ice chips, preventing the formation of ice crystals and having thickening and emulsifying effects.
It plays an excellent role in preventing adhesion, retaining water, increasing elasticity and maintaining quality in flour products such as noodles, dried noodles, instant noodles and vermicelli, and also extends the shelf life.
It plays the role of thickening, water retention and stabilizer in beverages such as peanut milk, almond milk, walnut milk, orange juice, fruit juice, fruit tea, various solid beverages and eight-treasure porridge, and also improves the taste.
It serves as a stabilizer in dairy products such as milk and yogurt, and also thickens, emulsifies and improves the taste.
It plays a stabilizing role in soy products such as tofu and soy milk.
In meat products, such as sausages, luncheon meat and various meatballs, it plays a role in bonding, refreshing and increasing volume.
In condiments and salad dressings, guar gum takes advantage of its fundamental property of generating high viscosity at low concentrations, which makes the texture and rheological and other sensory qualities of these products more superior.
Canned food products are characterized by containing as little fluid water as possible. Guar gum can be used to thicken the water in the product and coat the surface of the solid parts of meat and vegetables with a thick layer of meat juice. Special, slowly swelling guar gum can sometimes also be used to limit the viscosity during canning.
2. Application in the Petroleum Industry
The main application is its viscosity to be formulated into a gel to produce water-based fracturing fluid, in order to increase the production of oil Wells in the later stage.
In drilling fluids, it is used as a liquid loss control agent for drilling fluids.
Guar gum is also the main component of the cementitious material in the temporary sealing and blocking agents for underground use.
3. Application in Mineral Processing
Guar gum has a flocculation effect on clay and other substances. In mineral processing, it serves as an inhibitor for silicate slime, thereby enhancing the yield of ore sand.
4. Application in the Papermaking Industry
Guar gum and modified guar gum can be used as sizing materials in pulverizers, adhesives in tank sizing, and reinforcing agents, etc.
5. Application in the Textile Industry
Guar gum is often used as a thickener or supplement for printing and dyeing pastes, and also as a sizing agent for textiles.
6. Application in Coatings
Guar gum and modified guar gum are often used as thickeners in coatings to enhance their performance.
7. Application in the Tobacco Industry
Adding guar gum when making large tobacco sheets from tobacco powder can reduce irritation, increase flexibility and extensibility.
8. Applications in the cement mortar industry
Guar gum can improve the plasticity and water retention of mortar, enhance the adhesive force to prevent powdering, and increase the strength of cement.
Guar gum has a wide range of applications. It not only plays a significant role in the food industry but also involves multiple fields such as oil extraction, mineral processing, papermaking, and textile.
