Ecopol-1k

Ecopol-1k is a food-grade guar gum derived from Cyamopsis tetragonoloba beans, processed to deliver a viscosity of 3,800 to 4,200 cP in a 1% aqueous solution at 25°C. It is a white to off-white powder with a moisture content below 12% and passes particle size tests where 95% of the material is finer than 100 mesh. The product is non-GMO and meets FDA 21 CFR 172.605 for use in food applications.

Guar gum in this form typically contains less than 1% ash and exhibits low microbial counts, with total plate count under 1,000 CFU/g and yeast and mold below 100 CFU/g. It is soluble in both cold and hot water without clumping, and its thickening efficiency is higher than xanthan gum at equivalent concentrations. The standard pH range in a 1% solution is 6.0 to 7.5, making it compatible with acidic and neutral food matrices.

Ecopol-1k is used by manufacturers of dairy alternatives, salad dressings, sauces, and gluten-free baked goods to improve texture and shelf stability. Buyers include mid-to-large scale food processors in North America and Europe who require consistent viscosity control and clean-label sourcing. The product is supplied in 25kg multi-wall paper bags with inner polyethylene lining, and bulk quantities are available under FOB Houston or CIF terms. Minimum order quantities are negotiable based on production volume.
