GUAR GUM Powder- Edicol®

Edicol® is compatible with other gums, starches, hydrocolloids and gelling agents both natural and synthetic, normally used in foods, pet foods and feeds. Excellent viscosity synergism is achieved, without gel formation, with Xanthan gum in ratios of 50:50 to 90:10 (Edicol®: Xanthan). Unique stabiliser blends, both cost effective and functional can be achieved by combination of Edicol® with other hydrocolloids, gelling agents and emulsifiers to achieve the right mouth-feel and texture in the final food product. Like most natural galactomannans, Edicol® solutions are subject to degradation by microbial attack and hydrolysis. GRAS preservatives may be added to Edicol® solutions to extend solution shelf- life. Due to its high microbial purity, Edicol® has a long shelf- life in its dry form. Edicol® Guar Gums are available in a variety of viscosities, particle size distributions and hydration rates to suit every need. Detailed specification sheets are available on request. Specialised "tailormade" products are possible. Edicol® are high purity Guar gums manufactured under strict hygienic condition and GMP’s. The manufacturing process from raw material to finished goods is fully automatic, incorporating complex pneumatic conveying and material handling system. Various safety features and HACCP during manufacturing and packaging ensure that Edicol® is free from foreign matter and impurities. Average standardised / blended batch sizes rang from 5,000 to 8,000 kilos (11,000 to 17,5000 Ibs), thus ensuring consistency and reproducibility from batch-to-batch. Every batch shipped to customers carries a certificate of analysis, including microbiological certification by our in-house microbiological quality control laboratories. Our well-equipped labs are capable of carrying out various tests and analytical procedures. No preservatives are added to Edicol®, including GRAS preservatives. Edicol® must be stored in a cool, dry place, away from heat and out of the sun. It is recommended to use all the contents from a Edicol® bag/ container, within a reasonable time, once opened. Due to the hygroscopic nature of the product, excessive humidity may lead to absorption of moisture and consequent microbial degradation if bags/ containers are left in an open state for long periods.
