Popular questions
  1. Asus e402 w where is the hard drive?

    This isn’t related to the food additive E402; E402 denotes potassium alginate, a seaweed-derived thickener/stabiliser used to form calcium-set gels, thicken sauces, and stabilize emulsions.

  2. Dx-e402 how to set up?

    E402 refers to potassium alginate, not a device; in food processing it’s dispersed in water (often under high shear) and, if gelling is desired, calcium is added to set the gel.

  3. How is potassium alginate used in food?

    It’s used as a thickener, stabiliser, and gelling agent from seaweed. Dispersed in liquids to increase viscosity and stabilize emulsions/foams, it forms heat-stable gels when calcium is added (e.g., spherification, restructured foods, desserts).

  4. How to change asus e402 to boot from usb?

    This question isn’t about the food additive E402; E402 is potassium alginate, a seaweed-derived thickener/stabiliser used to gel with calcium, thicken sauces, and stabilize emulsions.

  1. Is guar gum bad for you?

    No—E412 (guar gum) is generally recognized as safe at typical food levels. As a soluble fiber it can cause gas or loose stools in some people, and concentrated tablets or dry powder taken without enough liquid have been linked to blockage risks.

  2. What is guar gum made from?

    It’s a galactomannan polysaccharide made from the endosperm of guar beans (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), processed into an off‑white powder.

  3. Is guar gum bad for cats?

    It’s generally considered safe at the small amounts used as a thickener in many canned cat foods. Some cats may get soft stools or gas, especially if sensitive, so monitor tolerance and consult a vet if issues arise.

  4. Can dogs have guar gum?

    Yes—at the low levels used in commercial dog foods it’s considered safe. Too much may cause gas or diarrhea, so introduce new foods gradually and watch your dog’s tolerance.

  5. Is guar gum bad for dogs?

    Not at typical food levels; it’s widely used as a safe thickener in dog foods. Large amounts may upset the stomach (gas, loose stools).
