Profile: Lotus Gums & Chemicals specializes in providing modified gums and guar gum powder. Guar gum is derived from ground endosperm of the guar plant. This is a hardy and drought-resistant plant which grows 1-2 m high with vertical stalks. The seed pods grow in clusters on the vertical stalks. The pods are about 15 cm long and contain six to nine seeds measuring about 2-3 mm. The guar gum is odorless and has a bland taste. Its color is off-white to very light yellow tan. It is insoluble in organic solvent. It is a polysaccharide consisting of a straight chain of D-mannopyranose units. It is compatible with hydrocolloids, chemically modified starches, modified cellulose, synthetic polymers and water soluble proteins. We are accredited with ISO 9001:2000 certification.
