Description:
Guar gum is one of the few products having very good export potential. Guar is a leguminous plant being grown in semi aried regions of India, Pakistan, USA. etc. The manufacture of guar gum, being an agro and resource based industry, has a great scope for development in a agricultural country like India. Guar is the main raw material required for the manufacture of guar gum. This have very important and vast application in different industrial areas. It is widely used in food industries, oil industries. The industries like textile, paper, pharmaceuticals, ice cream, confectioneries etc also has application of guar gum vastly. So far as future demand is concerned, are the end use industries are growing at a moderate rate. Therefore in future, it can be assured that there is a good scope for new investment.

Description:
Guar Gum is a white to yellowish white powder. It is nearly odorless. When dissolved in hot or cold water guar gum forms a paste of high viscosity. Guar's viscosity is a function of temperature, time and concentration. Guar gum can best be described as a natural food thickener, similar to locust bean gum, cornstarch or tapioca flour. Guar gum is said to have significantly more thickening ability than cornstarch. Guar gum is not just a thickening agent, but a binder and plasticizer as well. Guar gum has excellent thickening, emulsifying, stabilizing and film forming properties. At very low concentration, guar gum has excellent settling (flocculation) properties and it acts as a filter aid. Guar gum is compatible with a variety of inorganic and organic substances including certain dyes and various constituents of food. It is also used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics Industry. Guar gum is extracted from the guar bean. The guar plant 'Cyamopsis Tetragonalobus' is an annual plant. The legume is an important source of nutrition to animals and humans. Guar or cluster beans is a legume crop that grows in the semi-arid regions of India during kharif season. India is the major producer of guar seed and gum, making up 80 to 85 per cent of the total global supply. Guar is primarily grown in Rajasthan, besides Haryana, Punjab, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Export demand for guar gum is substantial .Major producers of guar gum in India are India Glycols, Vikas WSP and Vimta Labs, etc. Vimta Labs has been nominated by the European Union to certify that guar gum shipments are free from dioxins and pentacholorophenols (PCP). Guar gum has gained popularity over other gums and polysacchrides because of its increasing uses.

Description:
Guar seeds or cyamopsis tetragonoloba termed as Guar Gum. Guar gum is a white to yellowish white powder. Guar gum as natural gums is advantages as natural gelling agent for different industrial purpose. Guar Gum and its derivatives are widely used in various industries as per its needs. It is used in industries such as food, animal feed, textile, pharmaceuticals, personal care, health care, nutrition, cosmetics, paper, explosives, mining and oil drilling. The guar seed is typically made up of 40% to 46% germ, 38% to 45% endosperm, and 14% to 16% husk. Guar gum is prepared by removing the husk and germ portions before extracting the gum from the endosperm, to yield high-purity powder products of varying granulation and viscosity.
Properties : Guar Gum is a white to yellowish white powder and is nearly odorless. Guar gum is a cold water soluble polysaccharide, consisting of mannose and galactose units. This ability to hydrate without heating makes it very useful in many industrial and food applications. Dissolved in cold or hot water, guar gum forms a slime of high viscosity. Guars viscosity is a function of temperature, time, and concentration. Guar gum is an economical thickener and stabilizer. It hydrates fairly rapidly in cold water to give highly viscous pseudo plastic solutions of generally greater low shear viscosity when compared with other hydrocolloids and much greater than that of locust bean gum. Guar gum has a polymeric structure, containing several hydroxyl groups. The various derivatives or industrial grades of Guar gum are manufactured by reaction of these hydroxyl groups with chemicals that aid in dispersion, control viscosity, causing gelling and act as preservatives
Uses & Application: Guar gum is one of the best thickening additives, emulsifying additives and stabilizing additives. In Food Industry Guar gum is used as gelling, viscosifying, thickening, clouding, and binding agent as well as used for stabilization, emulsification, preservation, water retention, enhancement of water soluble fiber content etc. Some food products in which guar gum is used ice cream, soft drinks & concentrates puddings, chocolate milk, flavored milks, jams, jellies, fruit spreads, jelly sweets, bread, biscuit and other baked foods, ham and sausages, soft cheese and cheese spreads, canned or retorted food of fish and meat etc.
Guar gum is used in pharmaceutical industries as gelling/ viscosifying/thickening, suspension, stabilization, emulsification, preservation, water retention/water phase control, binding, clouding/bodying, process aid, pour control for following applications. In tablet manufacturing it is used as a binder and disintegrating agent and in micro encapsulation of drugs.
Market Survey: India produces 600000 tons of guar annually i.e. the maximum level of production in the world. It contributes to around 80% share in the worlds total production. Guar is largely consumed as a vegetable in the Indian subcontinent. It is also used in making pickles. 25000 tons of the total production in the country constitutes to the domestic market. Guar gum has a vast range of industrial applications and the major share of demand comes from various industrial sectors only. India is the leading net exporter of guar seeds and guar gum. The country exports over 117000 tons of guar and its derivatives, which is comprised by 33000 tons of refined split guar gum, and 84000 tons of treated and pulverized guar gum.
