 Tara Gum is structurally similar to both guar gum and locust bean gums. Tara Gum is a unique gum that bridges the gap between the cold water soluble, highly galactose guar gum, and the hot water soluble and lower galactose locust bean gum. The solution viscosities produced by Tara Gum are highly viscous and short textured compared to the solution viscosities of locust bean gum. Like guar gum, Tara Gum is cold-soluble and attains maximum viscosity in water, milk and other low-solid systems within several minutes. Similar to locust bean gum, Tara Gum acts synergistically with kappa-Carrageenan and xanthan gum to increase gel strength and make such gels less prone to syneresis.Tara Gum can fully replace Locust Bean Gum. Prices of Tara Gum are currently 40% lower than that of LBG.
