Precautions for use
Allergens
Allergen-free
Hot or cold dispersion in the aqueous phase.
Utensil : Hand whisk or electric mixer
Sprinkle the guar gum into the cold or preheated aqueous phase, stirring simultaneously to avoid lumps.
Shake vigorously to homogenize the mixture.
Leave to swell for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
The gum will dissolve more quickly when heated than when cold. Heating will also help dissolve any lumps and can therefore be used to "fix" a lumpy gel.
Without preservatives, the gel will only keep for a few days in the refrigerator.

However, these spoon ratios depend on a number of factors (e.g. viscosity of the liquid, temperature, depth and size of the spoon, rheological behaviour of the liquid), and we strongly advise you to use precise measuring equipment, such as graduated test tubes, graduated pipettes, and precision scales.
