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

No  Sarka Rubkova: It is not Czech - it is half Czech and half English

  -> It seems like that. However, this term is widely used, even in formal texts, as seen in the examples... That is why I've selected this term and not "Guarová guma", however more natrual it might sound in terms of Czech morphology and syntax.

No  booboobear: Sounds strange, I would prefer "guarová guma".

  -> Depends on the register: you need to use "guma guar" in formal texts, that is the official terminology, according to my experience. (Cf. the EU directive and other examples above). You might use "guarová guma" in lower registers, of course.
