The seeds of Guar are split and by sieving the endosperm & germ is separated from the endosperm. Through heating, grinding & polishing process the husk is separated from the endosperm halves and the refined Guar Gum split are obtained. Through grinding process the refined Guar split are then treated and converted into powder. Depending upon the requirement of end product various processing techniques are used.
GRADING Manufacturers define different grades and qualities of guar gum by the particle size, the viscosity that is generated with a given concentration, and the rate at which that viscosity develops. Coarse-mesh guar gums, will typically—but not always—develop viscosity more slowly.
. They may achieve a reasonably high viscosity, but will take longer to achieve. On the other hand, they will disperse better than fine-mesh, all conditions being equal. A finer mesh, like a 200 mesh, requires more effort to dissolve.
Modified forms of guar gum that are available commercially include enzyme-modified, cationic and hydropropyl guar.
