French translation:
gomme de guar - guarane
English term
guar gum
As a result of its high water-binding capacity, guar gum provides extremely high viscosity in water-based systems even at low dosage levels. Guar gum is mainly used as a thickening agent. (Danisco A/S )
Guar gum is not just a thickening agent, but a binder and plasticizer as well. When untreated ice cream melts and refreezes, grainy ice crystals often form. Guar gum has the natural ability to bind with water molecules, preventing them from forming the unwanted crystals. (wiseGEEK)
Guar gum (E412, also called guaran) is extracted from the seed of the leguminous shrub Cyamopsis tetragonoloba, where it acts as a food and water store. (Martin Chaplin)

Proposed translations
gomme de guar - guarane
La gomme de guar est un additif alimentaire (E412[3]) largement utilisé dans l'industrie agro-alimentaire. Elle permet notamment d'alléger certaines preparations en remplacant le role de l'amidon, de sucres ou de matières grasses. La gomme de guar est utilisée comme épaississant, stabilisant et émulsifiant dans les aliments grâce à sa texture uniforme et ses propriétés pour former des gels (Wikipedia)
Le guar a le statut de fibre végétale acalorique. Riche en galactomannanes, cette gomme peut être utilisée comme laxatif. (phytothérapiegratuite)

E 412
Baked goods - increases dough yield, gives greater resiliency, and improves texture and shelf life; in pastry fillings, it prevents "weeping" (syneresis) of the water in the filling, keeping the pastry crust crisp.[7] (Wikipedia)
Dairy - thickens milk, yogurt, kefir, and liquid cheese products; helps maintain homogeneity and texture of ice creams and sherbets (Wikipedia)
Dressing and sauces - improves the stability and appearance of salad dressings, barbecue sauces, relishes, ketchups and others (Wikipedia)
| Sorry, I had only a choice between 'agree' and 'disagree' in my form, so I chose a disagree which is, you're right, a bit mean to you! Entering my own answer would have been better. Sorry for that! |
| Thank you. One day (perhaps) I will get my head around French abbreviations. |
| Never!!!! ;) ? Thanks for your encouraging comment. I might be long in the tooth but there is always hope! |

: on trouve 'gomme de guar' ou plus fréquemment 'farine de guar' (c'est équivalent) dans les listes d'ingrédients des produits de l'agro-industrie, je pense donc que E 412 n'est pas la meilleure traduction même si elle est juste techniquement

Hi N., you're offering an alternative & a justified one at that, but since my entry is equally correct a " neutral" would have been sufficient or even entering your own answer. Trying to be mean to end 2008 ? NO PROBLEM & A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU

Line Merrette
: Je n'ai jamais vu E412 en contexte nord-américain. Je pense qu'il faudrait indiquer cela comme un synonyme mais pas comme seule entrée.
