Guar Gum is a very versatile and efficient bio-polymer covering a wide range for Industrial and Food applications such as:

FROZEN FOODS

Used in:
Ice cream, soft serves, frozen cakes etc.

Function:
In frozen foods it controls crystal growth, prevents moisture loss, reduces freezer burn, controls synerisis prevents thaw, separation & controls freezing point.

MEAT PRODUCTS

Used in:
Meat products etc.

Function:
Guar acts as a binder and lubricant in the manufacturer of a variety of meat products such as sausages. The cold water solubility and hydration of Guar Gum permits easy processing absorbing and binding excess water.

BAKED FOOD

Used in:
Breads, cakes, pastries etc.

Function:
Used as moisture retention agent and as a dough conditioner in backed foods. It imparts desirable binding and film forming properties that retards the penetration of fats and oils.

DAIRY PRODUCTS

Used in:
Yogurt, desserts, Mousse, cheese etc.

Function:
It prevents syneresis in the cheese formation. Guar Gum improves texture, tenderness and maintains color uniformity and viscosity. It improves the mouth feel in dairy products.

SAUCES AND PICKLES

Used in:
Sauces, pickles, Barbecue relish, Salad dressing etc.

Function:
It improves the free flowing properties of sauces and reduces the separation between water and oil faces. It is unique cold water dispersible, acid resistant, free water binder in salad dressing, sauces, pickles and relishes

CONFECTIONERY

Used in:
Chocolates, jellies, biscuits etc.

Functions:
Guar Gum plays an important role in various confectionery products like chocolate cream, jellies and biscuits. Due to its properties of viscosities control, moisture, retention, bloom control, gel creation, agar and gelatin replacer, giazing agent.

BEVERAGES

Used in:
Cocoa drinks, fruit juices, sugar less and alcoholic beverages and etc.

Function:
Guar Gum in used to maintain viscosity and act as a suspending agent in fruit
beverage. It improves and maintain mouth feel.

PET FOODS

Used in:
Veterinary preparations, calf milk replacer etc.

Function:
It is a good thickener stabilizing agent for veterinary preparations. It forma gels, retains moisture & moisture foods.

COSMETICS

Used in:
Ointments, Lotions, Hair shampoo, Hair conditioner etc.

Function:
Used as thickening agent, lubricating agent, suspending agent, detergent compatible thickener, protective colloids, film forming agent.

PASTE & CREAM

Used in:
Tooth paste, shaving cream etc.

Function:
Due to its high viscosity, it imparts slip for extruding the paste from the tube without any excessive pressure

MINING

Used in:
Concentration of ore, filtration etc.

Function:
Guar Gum is used in mining industry as a floatation agent flocculating or setting agent, foam stabilizer & in the generation of back water.

TOBACCO

Used in:
Reconstitution of fragmentation in tobacco.

Function:
Guar Gum is used as a binder for fragmented tobacco fins in the manufacture of reconstituted tobacco. It is used as a binding and strengthening agent.

OIL WELL DRILLING AND EXPLOSIVE

Used in:
Drilling fluid, hydraulic fracturing etc.

Functions:
Guar Gum is widely used in oil well drilling due to its multi-functions such as water loss control, viscosity control, friction reduction, lubricants and cooling of the drill bits, in explosive guar improves resistance to water aging in explosive gels. Guar Gum when used with transition metal ions, increases viscosity. It also works as a thickening agent in blasting slurry and for explosive mixture.

PHARMACEUTICALS

Used in:
Laxatives, Sustained release drug, vitamin, syrups etc.

Function:
Recent studies make the Guar Gum Powder very important for pharmaceuticals industries. Different quality of Guar shows different effect in medicines. Tablet preparation. In tablet preparation Guar Gum powder is used as a binder and disintegrating agent for compressed tablets. Laxatives: it increases the intestinal transit time and increases bulk and stool. Suspensions: It is a suitable suspending agent in anti-inflammatory drugs and also used in treatment of oral infection.

PAPER INDUSTRY

Used in:
Wrapping paper, kraft, photographic paper, filter etc.

Function:
Guar’s cost effectiveness and properties make it a useful polymer for paper industry. It increases fold, tensile strength, pick and pulp hydration. Simultaneously it decreases the porosity and improves finish for better paper quality.

TEXTILE PRINTING & SIZING

Used in:
Cotton, rayon, silk, wool sizing, carpet printing etc.

Function:
In sizing it increases the strength of warp thereby reducing it breakages and also reduces the dusting of sizing machine. It has a good film forming property. It is used as a dispersant & thickening agent for dyes in textile printing.

MISCELLANEOUS USES

Guar Gum powder produced by ADARSH GUAR GUM UDYOG is also widely used in other products such as photography, water treatment, fire fighting, incense stick, mosquito mat, soups, snacks, puddings, noodles, gems, ceramics, synthetic resins, carpet painting, wallpaper, water based paints, battery electrolytes, printing inks, polishes etc.
