Jams and jellies need the right texture, consistency and shelf stability to appeal to consumers. Guar gum powder, a natural thickening agent, plays a critical role in achieving these properties. When used in ETO Free Guar Gum Powder, it enhances viscosity, prevents crystallization and extends shelf life.

CASSIA is a natural polysaccharide extracted from the seeds of the Cassia Tora plant. This polysaccharide belongs to the family of flowering plants used in the food industry, such as guar gum. It is found mainly in middle Indian states. It is an excellent dietary supplement produced by grinding seeds to provide cassia gum powder.

Guar is also known as guaran or cluster beans and is the source of Guar Gum Powder. This is mainly grown in India and Pakistan. Many new applications of Guar have come to light recently. Guar-Gum is one of the most important product from Guar which can hydrate rapidly in cold water and also attain high viscosity even in low concentration.

Hydraulic Fracturing is a process of treating underground mineral (natural gas) reservoirs by applying sequential pumping of sufficient amount of water-based fracturing fluids. These fluids are mixed with proppant materials (usually sand gravels), and thickening agents such as guar gum powder. Since fracturing is very important and highly risky process, everything is controlled and monitored at each step. Increase in demand of Guar for fracturing fluids is pulling the focus of Guar Gum Exporters.

The global production of guar seed is estimated at about 1.0 – 1.6 million tonnes annually. There have been wide fluctuations in the production levels mainly depending on the climatic conditions in the major production countries such as India and its neighbours. The Indian sub continent produces over 80% of the global production. The nation of Pakistan is the next largest producer at 15% of the global production. The other production countries include United States, Brazil, South Africa, Malawi, Zaire, Sudan, Australia and China. The recent increases in the global prices of the guar have encouraged more nations to enter into production.
