The objectives of the present study were to analyze the chemical interactions between guar and xanthan gums and starches. Gels were obtained from normal (NCS), waxy (WCS) and high‐amylose (HACS) corn starches containing gums. The gels were evaluated according to their pasting properties and infra‐red absorption. The guar (GG) and xanthan (XG) gums affected the properties of the NCS paste more significantly than those of the WCS paste. In the infra‐red absorption spectra, no covalent bonds between the starches and gums were observed under the conditions studied, so probably the only interactions occurring between them were hydrogen bonds.
