GUAR GUM & DERIVATIVES

Guar is an Agricultural Product grown in arid zone of Rajasthan, some parts of Gujarat, Harayana, Madhya Pradesh. It is a rain-fed annual crop, also irrigated in mid-season. It is sown immediately after first showers in July and harvested around November each year. The Guar Seed is processed to produce Guar Gum Refined Splits (Endosperm), - Guar By-products Churi & Korma for Cattle Feed.

Guar Gum Refined Splits (Endosperm) is the raw material for processing Guar Gum Powder for Pharmaceutical and Food Grade material. Guar gum has a Polymeric Structure, containing numerous hydroxy groups.

The various derivatives/Industrial grades of Guar Gum are manufactured by reaction of these hydroxyl groups with chemicals that aid in :

-- Dispersion,
-- Control Viscosity,
-- Causing Gelling,
-- Act as preservatives and
-- In any other way aid in achieving specific results



CHARACTERISTICS OF GUAR GUM

The most important property of Guar Gum is its ability to hydrate rapidly in cold water, to attain a very high viscosity relatively at low concentrations. Its specific colloidal nature gives the solution an excellent thickening power which is 6 to 10 times higher than that obtained from starch. It is stable over a wide range of pH. It also improves flowability and pumpability of fluid. It is a superior friction loss reducing agent. It produces viscosity of 0 - 8500 cps in a 1% solution.
The food-grade Guar Gum is substantially pure polysaccharide.

Guar Gum is a very versatile and efficient bio-polymer covering a wide range of industrial applications such as :


-- Oil Drilling.
-- Human Food & Pet Food.
-- Explosive.
-- Textile Printing.
-- Paper.
-- Water Treatment.
 

It helps in binding, thickening, film forming and lubricating.
