In India the commercial production
of Guar gum is normally undertaken by using process
of roasting, differential attrition, sieving &
polishing.
The Guar seeds are broken in two halves and the
endosperm & germ is separated from the endosperm
by sieving. The husk is separated from the endosperm
halves through heating, grinding & polishing
& the refined Guar Gum split are obtained. |
The refined Guar split
are then treated and converted into powder through
grinding process. There are various processing techniques
of conversion depending upon the required end product.
During the split manufacturing process, husk &
germ are obtained. These are used as a valuable
cattle feed as they are rich in protein. These are
widely sold in the international market as “Guar
Meal” & have contents of “Oil &
Albuminoids” (O & A ). The O & A contents
are about 50% in germ whereas it is about 25% in
husks. |
