What is Tara?
Tara gum is a natural seed gum similar to LBG and Guar. It is obtained from the ground endosperm of the seeds of the Tara plant. Tara has similar properties to Guar and LBG; Tara’s galactose-to-mannose ratio falls in between guar and LBG. Tara can be used in bakery, beverages, confectionery, and dairy products. It creates a smooth, soft, and creamy texture, appearance, and mouthfeel.
Tara has the ability to solubilize in both cold and hot solutions, and it can create a soft gel texture when used with Xanthan Gum or Carrageenan. It can control ice crystal growth in frozen applications. Tara improves gel elasticity and water retention in gels. Additionally, Tara has a clean flavor and very good flavor release.
