Abstract
The toxicity of partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG, average molecular weight 20,000) was evaluated in a 28-day, repeated oral dosing study (gavage) in rats at doses of 0, 500, and 2,500 mg/kg/day and in Salmonella typhimurium, with and without metabolic activation. PHGG did not elicit any signs of toxicity at the doses tested. PHGG was not mutagenic.Keywords
