Application

Guar Gum is generally used as an excellent and reasonable thickener and stabilizer in many aqueous systems.The main uses are:

Food

v     Bakery One of the major applications for guar gum powder is the production of bread. Even small quantities of guar gum powder added to the dough increase the yield, give greater resiliency, improve texture and give longer shelf life

 

v     Dairy In this field guar gum is used as an excellent binder of water and a stabilizer. It is used in the production of ice-creams, sherbets, cheese, liquid milk products, and others.

 

v     Meat Guar can be used as lubricant and excellent binder for various meat products. It allows storing with less loss of weight and can decrease the filling time for cans.

 

v     Dressing and sauces Guar can be used as an excellent thickener to impove the stability and appearance of salad dressings, barbecue sauces, relishes, ketchups and others. It is quite compatible with highly acidic emulsions.

 

v     Beverages

Guar can be used as stabilizer for chocolate drinks, fruit nectars, and juices.

 

v     Miscellaneous food applications

Dry soups, sweet dessert, canned fish in sauce, Frozen Food items and others.

 

v     Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics

Guar Gum can be used as a thickener for various cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. In compressed tablets Guar Gum can be used as a binder and distintegrator. Several studies have found significant decrease in cholesterol levels after administration of guar gum in human consumption.

 

v     Further important applications: Textile printing Mining Water Treatment Oil-drilling Tobacco Industry Explosives and others

 

PRODUCT DETAIL PROCESS

Depending upon the requirement of end product, various processing techniques are used. The commercial production of guar gum normally uses roasting, differential attrition, sieving, and polishing.

Food-grade guar gum is manufactured in stages. Guar split selection is important in this process. The split is screened to clean it and then soaked to prehydrate it in a double-cone mixer. The prehydrating stage is very important because it determines the rate of hydration of the final product.

The soaked splits, which have reasonably high moisture content, are passed through a flaker. The flaked guar split is ground and then dried. The powder is screened through rotary screens to deliver the required particle size. Oversize particles are either recycled to main ultra fine or reground in a separate regrind plant, according to the viscosity requirement.

This stage helps to reduce the load at the grinder. The soaked splits are difficult to grind. Direct grinding of those generates more heat in the grinder, which is not desired in the process, as it reduces the hydration of the product. Through the heating, grinding, and polishing process, the husk is separated from the endosperm halves and the refined guar split is obtained. Through the further grinding process, the refined guar split is then treated and converted into powder.

The split manufacturing process yields husk and germ called “guar meal”, widely sold in the international market as cattle feed. It is high in protein and contains oil and albuminoids, about 50% in germ and about 25% in husks. The quality of the food-grade guar gum powder is defined from its particle size, rate of hydration, and microbial content.

Manufacturers define different grades and qualities of guar gum by the particle size, the viscosity generated with a given concentration, and the rate at which that viscosity develops. Coarse-mesh guar gums will typically, but not always, develop viscosity more slowly. They may achieve a reasonably high viscosity, but will take longer to achieve. On the other hand, they will disperse better than fine-mesh, all conditions being equal. A finer mesh, such as a  200 mesh, requires more effort to dissolve
