Gumix Guar Gum is derived from the ground endosperm part of the seed of the guar plant, Cyamopsis tetragonolobus, of the Leguminosae family. The plant is cultivated commercially in India and Pakistan. Roughly 14% to 16% of the seed is hull, 38% to 45% represents endosperm and 40% to 46% is germ. In commercial processing of Guar Gum, different methods are utilized to efficiently separate the guar endosperm from the hull and germ. The separated endosperm, containing 80% galactomannan, is ground to a fine particle size and sold as Guar Gum.
