PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Guar is also called guaran, is a Galactomannan. It is primarily the ground endosperm of guar beans. The guar seeds are dehusked, milled and screened to obtain the guar gum. It is typically produced as a free flowing, pale, off-white colored, coarse to fine ground powder. Guar gum is water-soluble plant mucilage obtained from the grand endosperms of cyanopsis tetragonoloba, cultivated in Pakistan as livestock feed. The water-soluble portion of the flour (85%) is called `guaran' and consists of 35% galactose, 63% mannose, probably combined in a polysaccharide 5-7% protein.
Approximately 90% of total Guar produce is used for production of Guar Gum and rest is used for culinary purposes and cattle feed etc. Guar gum, also called guaran, is a galactomanan. Guar gum is produced fromthe endosperm, which is about 35-42 percent of the guar seed mass, and mainly consists of gum Poly groups of monogalactoses (a type of sugar). Different grades are made based on purity and present viscosity of powers in water. Guar gum has almost 8 times the thickening power as corn starch, and is used in dressings, sauces, milk products, and baking mixes.
India accounts for 80% of the total guar produced in the world and 70% is cultivated in Rajasthan. Pakistan, Sudan and parts of USA are the other major Guar growing countries. 75% of the Guar Gums or their derivatives produced in India are exported mainly to USA and European countries. The consumption pattern of guar seeds is largely influenced by the demand from the petroleum industry of the U.S. and the oil fields in the Middle East as the derivative products of these seeds are quite useful in the petroleum drilling industries. The U.S. alone constitute to around 70 thousand tonnes of guar and its derivatives demand. Also, in rest of the world, the trend of consumption has increased with time that has lead to the introduction of this crop in many countries. Germany & China account for about 24 percent of global consumption together. The export demand from India is around 2 lakh tons of Guar gum and the domestic market is of around 30,000 tons. Thus, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.
