It is commonly used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in a wide range of food and non-food products, including baked goods, dairy products, sauces, dressings, beverages, personal care products, and industrial applications. Guar gum has excellent viscosity and water-binding properties, and it can improve the texture, mouthfeel, and shelf life of many products
