| Application: | Guar has been used: • to maintain viscosity during in vitro starch digestion assay • to reduce the thinning rate of agarose gel • to study its effects on establishing 3D-like neural networks on microelectrode arrays (MEAs) |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Guar gum has been shown to have numerous beneficial effects including improved glucose tolerance and attenuation of diabetic nephropathy. |
| General description: | Guar is extracted from the seeds of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba. It contains polysaccharides of galactomannans. Guar is used in thickening dye solution, production of paper and as a primary gelling agent in water-based slurry explosives. It acts as a fiber deflocculent and dry-strength additive and serves as an additive to dynamite for water blocking. Guar is used as a stabilizer, emulsifier and thickener in food products. It lowers cholesterol and glucose level. Guar aids weight loss and obesity prevention. |
| Other Notes: | Guar gum is isolated from the endosperm of the guar or gavar bean. |
