Can I use Guar gum inplace of Xanthan gum in recipes?

Thank you for your interest in our product, Guar gum. Guar gum and Xanthan gum are 2 of the prominent hydrocolloids used in food industry. Upon solubilizing in water, both form gel. They could be used alternatively, but certain advantages are more prominent than others, depending on where these are used and how much. For example Guar gum is mostly used in noodles, breads, dairy products, pizza crust, tortilla etc, whereas Xanthan gum is used on salad dressing, sauces, etc.
