Product Information Sheet
SUNCOL
Natural Hydrocolloid for Food Applications
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.
Chemical Structure of SUNCOL
Chemically, SUNCOL is a straight chain galactomannan, has a chain of (1→4)-linked-β-D-

mannopyranosyl units with single α-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.
✓ Its 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. Our products
are Vegan and Vegetarian suitable. Our manufacturing facility is GFSI certified (FSSC 22000).
