Guar Gum Powder

Guar gum powder is a food additive and thickening agent derived from the seeds of the guar plant. It is commonly used in the food industry to improve texture, viscosity, and stability of various products. It is also used in other industries such as cosmetics, paper, and textile manufacturing.

Guar Gum is made from guar seeds, also known as Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba. Guaran is another name for guar gum. When compared to other hydrocolloids like (locust bean gum). Guar gums work well as thickeners and stabilisers.

In addition to being a strong binder, plasticizer, and emulsifier, guar gum is reasonably inexpensive when compared to other thickeners and stabilisers. The fact that guar gum, a polysaccharide, contains a lot of galactose and mannose is one of its key qualities. Guar gum is also known as galactomannan, goma guar, gomme guar, guaran, and guarkernmehl.

Properties of Guar Gum

Some properties of guar gum are:

  • Thickening agent: Guar gum is a highly effective thickening agent that can increase the viscosity of a liquid.
  • Water-soluble: It is easily soluble in cold or hot water, forming a highly viscous solution.
  • Stable in a wide pH range: Guar gum is stable in a wide pH range, from acidic to alkaline.
  • Non-toxic: It is non-toxic and generally considered safe for consumption.
  • High in fiber: Guar gum is a good source of dietary fiber.
  • Film-forming: It has film-forming properties, which makes it useful as a coating for various products.
  • Emulsifying: It can act as an emulsifier, helping to stabilize emulsions.
  • Binding: Guar gum can also act as a binding agent, helping to hold ingredients together in products such as baked goods.

Guar seed endosperm is utilised in a wide range of industries, including mining, drilling, petroleum, textile, food, medicine, cosmetics, water treatment, explosives, confectionery, and many more. Since it has a very high nourishing property, guar gum, which is also known as a hydrocolloid, has been used as a crucial product for both people and animals.

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:

  • A.I.R. (Acidic Insoluble Residue
  • Moisture
  • Viscosity
  • Content of Ash
  • Size of the Particle
  • Odor
  • Protein
  • Filterability
  • Gum Content
  • Color
  • Fibre
  • Granulation
  • Insoluble Residue
  • Fat Content
  • pH
  • Heavy Metals
  • Arsenic
  • 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.
