Guar Gum is extracted from the seed endosperm of the plant called Cyamopsis tetragonoloba, commonly known as Guar. It is widely grown in the North-western parts of India as a major monsoon crop. In general, this crop is cultivated once a year for the local farm-based economy. The Guar seed is separated from beans and processed to extract Gum splits which makes up about a 30% part of the seed. The remaining parts of the seeds are Guar Korma (Germ) and hull that is used as cattle feed for its high protein content. Thus, splits are used to make powdered guar gum. With various hydrocolloids available under one roof, we also provide technical service on designing thickening and gelling stabilizers for your needs. Our experience of creating blends or even a specific property gum can be useful in terms of providing body, texture, and stability. With the help of various natural thickeners, we also guide to reduce costs yet keeping the same texture and processing chart. Our ingredients always prove to make economic yet effective usage.

A food grade of Guar is normally identified as plain Guar Gum Powder. For different applications based on recipe, demand and process control conditions, the user chooses the viscosity, the particle size and the hydration rate.
Microbiological, heavy metals and pesticide control is however the common parameters checked for food applications. Listed below are the most commonly used products . More grades can be offered after understanding the client’s needs. Bakery, salad dressings, dairy, frozen desserts, cheese and spreads, processed meat etc. are the few food segments where Guar can be used due to its economic yet effective role in promoting texture and extending stability.
