Substitutes for Guar Seed Flour in gelato

Guar seed flour (guar gum, E412) is a galactomannan polysaccharide milled from the seed endosperm of Cyamopsis tetragonolobus. In gelato it acts purely as a stabilizer, binding free water and boosting viscosity at very low doses without adding sweetness or lowering the freezing point.
