* Guar Gum Powder :
Gum is derived from guar seeds or cyamopsis tetragonoloba termed as Guar Gum. These seeds have high low-shear viscosity as evaluated with other hydrocolloids like (locust bean gum). Guar Gums are effective thickeners and stabilizers. Guar Gum is relatively cost effective as compared to other thickeners and stabilizers along with it being an effective binder, plasticizer and em
ulsifier. One of the important properties of guar gum, a polysaccharide, is that it is high on galactose and mannose. Guar gum is also known as guarkernmehl, guaran, goma guar, gomme guar and galactomannan.
* Properties of Guar Gum:
Guar gum has reasonably more thickening property as compared to corn starch. Holds back the growth of ice crystal
Guar is draught resistant plant. Guar gum forms gel in water
* Uses :
Endosperm of guar seeds are used in many sectors of industries like mining, petroleum, drilling and textile., food products like breads and pastries , ice cream , pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, water treatment, mining, drilling, fracking,textile, explosives, confectioneries even making diapers and many more. Since a long time Guar Gum can be also named as a hydrocolloid, is treated as the key product for humans and animals as it has a very high nourishing property.
* Regions For Growing Guar Gum :
India grows 90% of guar all over the world while the remaining 10% is grown in its neighboring country Pakistan . Guar Gums are produced on semi-arid regions say Gujarat, and to some extent in Madhya Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan. To get the best yield and harvesting results of guar seeds these seeds are sown in sandy soils, in the regions like North West India . Being second big contender to grow this crop Pakistan produces significant quantity of guar . Sindh is the biggest region along with regions like Bahawal Pur , Layyah , Kamalia where the soil is sandy and hot .
* Benefits of Guar Gum:
Lowering blood Glucose
Lowering insulin levels
* Demand :
B.D. Agarwal, the founder and managing director of Vikas WSP, an Indian company that specializes in producing the product , explains ;
Guar gum powder has unique binding, thickening and emulsifying qualities which make it ideal for fracking, So far, oil companies have not been able to find a suitable substitute, he says. Since 90% of the world's guar is grown in the desert belt of northwest India, local farmers in this poor area are enjoying the benefit of the guar rush. Agarwal, meanwhile, is confident the guar rush will grow. He says shale gas reserves have been identified in 32 countries and 48 basins around the world, including India. and Canada, and very recently Argentina, have attempted to extract it. China is expected to start fracking by the end of the year. As demand grows, Agarwal predicts the value of the guar industry will jump, suggesting it could go from a $2 billion business today, to $200 billion by 2020.
* Guar Gum Powder :
The color of guar gum powder is whitish and yellowish consisting of slight odor. Cyamopsis tetragonolobus or Guar Plants endosperm derives Guar Gum. Guar crop is basically a legume (a plant of a pea family) which grows effectively in sandy soils, with rainfall to some extent with lots of sunshine. Guar Gum powder is obtained from ground endosperm of guar plant. The seed pods of Guar are grown in groups, 100 Kilos of beans, minus their bean pods yields roughly 29 kilos of endosperm; 29 kilos of Guar powder. India Followed by Pakistan and US is the key producer of Guar Seeds constituting approximately 80% of the over all production. Guar crop grows on semi arid and sub-tropical area harvested between Octobers to November. Guar seed is the combination of three things the germ, endosperm and the husk. Guar seed is basically the legume which regenerates the nitrogen in soil. Green Guar is the source of vegetables and also fed to cattle’s. Guar Gum can also be termed as the best and appropriate substitute for locust bean gum. We offer goma guar as well as gomme guar from India. Guar seeds are instantaneously sown after the first drizzles of the onset of monsoon i.e. The Hay of Guar is very nutritive making it a good fodder when mixed with wheat powder.Guar seed can also be called as a cluster bean. This Kharif legume is a highly nutritious crop used as green manure, vegetable and green fodder. Guar Gum is extracted from Guar seeds and is grounded transforming it into Guar Gum Powder.
* Quality :
The processing machineries used by our company are packed with latest technologies to high quality products. The latest innovation and research has enabled the company to absorb contemporary technologies to swiftly change with the changing scenario of technology in the market. With every stage of production utmost care is taken that the hygiene and the nutritive element remains unperturbed and is not open to contamination at any stage. Utmost care is taken that the microbiological substance is as low as possible with undergoing physio-chemical test as well. Quality testing and quality control parameters are determined at every stage of production process. Quality testing parameters include testing of the factors like:
1. A.I.R. (Acidic Insoluble Residue)
2. Moisture
3. Viscosity
4. Content of Ash
5. Size of the Particle
6. Odor 7. Protein
8. Filterability
9. Gum Content
10. Color
11. Fibre
12. Granulation 13. Insoluble Residue
14. Fat Content
15. pH
16. Heavy Metals
17. Arsenic
18. Lead
The Microbiological Quality Test consist of bacteriological test of the Food Grade products like Standard Plate Count, Yeast & Mould, Salmonella, E-coli, Colliform, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus etc.
