GUAR GUM POWDER
[EIRI/EDPR/1078] (J.C.9722)
INTRODUCTION
The districts in Haryana indulge d in the production of guar are Bhiwani, Sirsa, Mahendragarh and Rewari and the districts in Gujarat are Kutch, Banaskantha, Mehsana, Sabarkantha and Ahmadabad. Jodhpur city in Ra jasthan is one of the major processing centers of guar gum in India.
Guar also known as cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub) is a drought hardy leguminous crop. Guar is being grown for seed, green fodder, vegetable and green manuring. It is an annual plant, about 4 feet high, vertically, stalked, with large leaves and clusters of pods. Each pod is about 5-8 cm long and has on an average 6-9 small grayish-white pea shaped seeds. The pods are used as a green vegetable or as a cattle feed besides the industrial extraction of guar gum.
Guar seed consists of major three portions viz. the seed coat, the endosperm and the innermost proteinacious portion, the germ. The endosperm is mechanically separated from seeds which yields 35-42% of gum (galactomannan). The left out portion, i.e., the outer seed coat and the germ together constitute guar meal.
Chemistry of Guar Gum
Chemically, guar gum is a straight chain galactomannan, which is 75-85% of the endosperm, has a chain of (1 4)-linked-D-mannopyranosyl units with single -D-galac topyranosyl units connected by (1 6) linkages to, on the average, every second main chain unit. The ratio of D-mannopyranosyl to D-galactopyranosyl units is about 1.8:1. The average molecular weight of guaran is in the range of 1-2 ×1 06 dalton. The cis-position is important since a djacent hydroxyl groups reinforce each other in h ydrogen bonding reactions.
Guar Gum Manufacturing Process
Depending upon the requirement of the end product, various techniques are used for processing guar. In India, commercial production of guar gum contains process of roasting, differential attrition, sieving and polishing. Using heating, grinding and polishing process, the husk is separated from the endosperm halves and the refined guar gum split is obtained.
The Guar legume Plant is extremely drought resistant and thrives in semi arid regions where most plants perish. Guar grows best in sandy soils, areas of West, North West India and Parts of Pakistan are the ideal places for its farming. However with the latest technologies in the agriculture, it is now a days grown in the many states of India.
Jodhpur City in the north western state of Rajasthan in India is the most important and ideal processing center for Guar gum and contributes about 40% of the worlds' Guar gum supply. The guar plant 'Cyamopsis Tetragonalobus' is an annual plant. The legume is an important source of nutrition to animals and humans.
Guar requires reasonably warm weather and a growing season of 14-16 weeks. It needs moderate intermittent rainfall with lot of sunshine. Too much precipitation can cause the plant to become more leafy there by reducing the number of pods and the number of seeds per pod which affects the size and yield of seeds. The crop is generally sown after the monsoon rainfall in July/early august and is harvested in late October/November. The guar is natural rain fed crop and the total size of guar crop varies from year to year depending upon the monsoon rainfall.
Once upon a time, Guar was used as a protein rich cattle feed in India. The tender Green guar in India is still used as a vegetable and cattle feed. A severe locust bean gum shortage just after the second world war adversely affected the paper and textile industries. At that time, the Guargum was found to be the most suitable substitute for scarce locust bean gum. Guar regenerates soil nitrogen and the endosperm of guar seed is an important hydrocolloid widely used in many industries. As on date, It gains popularity of a star performer on the industrial stage.
The technology of guargum extraction was commercialized in 1953 in USA and in India it is operative since 1963 onwards. After harvesting when the pods become dry through sunlight, they are beaten off and during the process; the seeds come out of them.
