English term or phrase: guar gum
Definition from IFIC Foundation:
A substance made from the seeds of the guar plant which acts as a stabilizer in food systems. Is found as a food additive in cheese, including processed cheese, ice cream and dressings.

Example sentence(s):
  • 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

Getah Guar


Definition from own experience or research:
Getah Guar, juga disebut Guaran, Guar Gum atau Guar Gam, merupakan bibit endosperm dari Cyamopsis Tetragonolobus (sejenis tumbuhan).

Example sentence(s):
  • Gel dihasilkan melalui pencairan atau hidrasi dua jenis getah atau gam yang terdiri dari guar gum dan xanthan gam . Guar gum diperolehi dari kacang guar manakala xanthan gam diperolehi dari bijirin jagung. - Department of OBYGYN HSB  

Explanation:
Walaupun istilah-istilah lain seperti: guar gam, guar gum, gam guar, guaran turut digunakan secara luas, saya lebih setuju menggunakan perkataan Melayu yang lebih asal seperti 'getah' berbanding perkataan yang diimpot dari bahasa lain seperti 'gam'.
