We are the leading & Trueted supplier of Guarmgum powder

Guar Gum, a  natural polysaccharide, is the ground endosperm of the seed of plant Cyamposis tetragonolobus. It has been widely cultivated for centuries in India, for both animal and human consumption. The Guar plant sprouts bean like pods that are ***0 cms long and contain **8 seeds . The Guar crop is sown after the first rains in June / July and is harvested after 3 to 4 months. Guar is a hardy, drough resistant plant and requires moderate rainfall at regular intervals.

Processing

Guar Seeds are 3 to 5 mm in diameter and are dicotyledonous i.e. they have two endopserm halves. Also known as Guar Dehusked Splits (DHS), the endosperm halves are separated from the germ and hull using a combination of  thermal and mechanical processes. Guar Dehusked Splits are then milled to produce Guar Gum - a white to creamish white bland-tasting powder that is almost odourless.

Applications
