Guar gum is a fiber from the seed of the guar plant.
Guar gum is used as a laxative. It is also used for treating diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), obesity, and diabetes; for reducing cholesterol; and for preventing “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis).
In foods and beverages, guar gum is used as a thickening, stabilizing, suspending, and binding agent.
In manufacturing, guar gum is used as a binding agent in tablets, and as a thickening agent in lotions and creams.
How does it work?
Guar gum is a fiber that normalizes the moisture content of the stool, absorbing excess liquid in diarrhea, and softening the stool in constipation. It also might help decrease the amount of cholesterol and glucose that is absorbed in the stomach and intestines.
There is some interest in using guar gum for weight loss because it expands in the intestine, causing a sense of fullness. This may decrease appetite.
USES:
Diarrhea. Adding guar gum to the tube feeding formula given to critical care patients may shorten episodes of diarrhea from about 30 days to about 8 days.
High cholesterol. Taking guar gum seems to lower cholesterol levels in people with high cholesterol. Guar gum and pectin, taken with small amounts of insoluble fiber, also lower total and “bad” low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, but don't affect “good” high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol or other blood fats called triglycerides.
Diabetes. Taking guar gum with meals seems to lower blood sugar after meals in people with diabetes. By slowing stomach emptying, guar gum may also lessen after-meal drops in blood pressure that occur frequently in people with diabetes.
Constipation.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Gum arabic consists mainly of high-molecular weight polysaccharides and their calcium, magnesium and potassium salts, which on hydrolysis yield arabinose, galactose, rhamnose and glucuronic acid.
Gum arabic is also available commercially in the form of white to yellowishwhite flakes, granules
Organic Gum Arabic (Acacia) is an emulsifier for flavor oils and essential oils, making them stable in water-based compounds. A 30/70 ratio of gum to water is recommended as the best starting point for a Gum Arabic solution. It can be mixed at a 6/1 ratio of gum to oil. It can be used in cosmetics, baking, and as a fiber supplement. Organic Gum Arabic (Acacia) is vegan, kosher, and gluten-free. The Sudanese Organic Gum Arabic Acacia Senegal Heshab is the best in quality all over the world.

Gum Arabic, a leguminous tree species that is well adapted to Sudan and Sahelian agro-ecology of Africa, is capable of generating foreign exchange for Nigeria and Africa if its production and processing are optimized.
In Nigeria, the plant grows in areas with rainfall range between 250-1000mm with temperatures between 20-400C. However, Acacia spp such as Acacia dudgeoni, Acacia gourmaensis and some species of Acacia sieberain are also found in Osun and Oyo States.
With our robust warehouse in Lagos the Southern part of Nigeria we can export 500-2000MT of this product per month.
