SUNCOL is a range of natural hydrocolloids, manufactured by Sunita Hydrocolloids Private Limited, that use state-of-the-art technology to manage the rheological properties of various food systems. SUNCOL products are natural Guar Gum powder, a galactomannan polysaccharide obtained from the endosperm of the legume Cyamopsis tetragonolobus.
Chemically, SUNCOL is a straight chain galactomannan, has a chain of(1—4)-1inked-ß-D-mannopyranosyl units with single a-D-galactopyranosyl units connected by (1—6)linkages to, on average, every second main chain unit. SUNCOL has a 2:1 mannose-to-galactose ratio.
The most important property of SUNCOL is its ability to hydrate rapidly in cold water to attain uniform high viscosity at relatively low concentrations. SUNCOL is the most cost-effective natural hydrocolloid being used in various food applications.
The main properties of SUNCOL are:
- It is soluble in hot and cold water but insoluble in most natural solvents.
- It has strong hydrogen bonding properties.
- It has excellent thickening and stabilizing properties.
- It has an excellent ability to control rheology through water phase management.
- It’s viscosity is influenced by temperature, pH, and the presence of salts and other solids.
SUNCOL products are Non-GMO, Halal, and Kosher Certified and free from allergens. They are also Vegan and Vegetarian suitable. Our manufacturing facility is GFSI certified (FSSC 22000).
