Natural Gums Dealers in Kolar

Guar Gum Powder is derived from the endosperm of the guar plant. It is found in the seeds of cyamopsis tetragonolobus and psoralioides, which are the annual leguminous plants. Guar gum is a high molecular weight carbohydrate extracted from a legume (a plant of pea family) crop that grows best in sandy soils. The guar plant grows well in climate with moderate, flashing rainfall and lot of sunshine. Most important application of Guar Gum Powder is in the form of a thickening agent. It is an edible carbohydrate polymer that is widely employed as a reagent for applications like adsorption and hydrogen bonding with mineral and cellulosic surfaces. Guar Gum Powder is non-ionic, free flowing, low pale white colored and coarse to fine grounded powder. It has immense thickening power which almost eight times that of the corn starch. For this reason it is used as a thickener and emulsifier in number of commercial food processing applications. It is used in dressings, milk products, sauces, and baking mixes and also an important product for use in various commercial and industrial applications including paper manufacturing, textiles, printing, cosmetics and pharmaceutical processes. Guar extracts are the guar splitgum 28% (+- 1% variance) extracts from the guar seed. The guar extracts include churi and korma 67% whose ratio again is dependent upon the quality of the seed. Guar gum splitgum extracted from the processing is further refined to Guar Gum Powder and the churi & korma are used for cattle feed. Properties Of Guar Gum Powder : When dissolves in water, it provides galactose, hexose sugar and mannose. The hexose sugars are soluble both in cold as well as hot water but cannot dissolve in most of the organic solvents. It's viscosity increases in water. Therefore, even smaller quantity of it when used with water can be effective in producing high viscosities. However, this viscosity of the Guar Gum Powder decreases with acids. The strong acids which can cause hydrolysis and alkalies in strong concentration tend to reduce the viscosity. Adding borax solution will form a gelatinous mass. It can be used with starch, agar and alginate. Agro gums offer high viscosity Guar Gum Powder in 3500 cps to 8000 cps range. Guar gum has excellent solubility with water and can dissolve in both hot as well as cold water. Guar gum has film forming properties and shows stability in solutions across a wide range of pH values from 5-7 excellent thickening properties make it an efficient thickening agent. It can give higher viscosity even in small quantity and shows resistance to oils, solvents and various greases. Guar Gum Powder has excellent water binding capacity and efficient functionality even at low temperatures. Compatible with various hydrocolloids, Guar Gum Powder is used in food formulations and also to make derivatives for specific applications because it is a versatile product with number of free hydroxy groups.   Packaging Detail : Packing is an important process and therefore given special attention at agro gums. Special attention is paid in packing the bulk guar gum products at agro gums. Packing is done by filling products in suitable bag-sizes with standard measures. Efficient packing to ensure product quality and safety during transit and storage is done at agro's manufacturing facilities. Agro gums provide products in flexible packaging sizes. Products are available in 800, 900 & 1000 kilo circular woven HDPE bags, 25 kilo HDPE bags and also are available in multi walled paper bags.
