Product Profile of Guar Gum Refined Split

Guar Gum Refined Split is a non ionic polysaccharide galacomannan. The Split is mechanically separated from guar seed which yields 28 to 30% of refined split. The Split is used in industries like petroleum, textile, printing, food pharma, cosmetic, toiletries paper, tanneries, mining, explosives, pet food etc. The Guar Gum Refined Split has maximum 10% moisture.

Application of Guar Gum Refined Split:

• Petroleum, textile, printing

• Food pharma, cosmetic, toiletries paper

• Tanneries, mining, explosives, pet food

• Food bakery: 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.

• 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.

• Dressing and sauces: guar can be used as an excellent thickener to improve the stability and appearance of salad dressings, barbecue sauces, relishes, ketchups and others.

• Beverages: guar can be used as stabilizer for chocolate drinks, fruit nectars, and juices.

• Miscellaneous food applications: dry soups, sweet dessert, frozen food items and others.

• 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

• Textile printing

• Mining

• Water treatment

• Oil-drilling

• Tobacco industry

• Explosives

• It is a natural high molecular weight hydrocolloidal polysaccharide composed of galactan and mannan units combined through glycosidic linkages, which may be described chemically as galactomannan.
• Dissolved in cold or hot water, guar gum forms a slime of high viscosity. Guars viscosity is a function of temperature, time, and concentration.
