The applications of Guar Gum in various industries are as follows:

Food Grade Guar Gum Powder          

Agro gums offers a wide range of grade guar gum powder for food industries. It is used as stabilizers, thickeners and emulsifiers in food industries for foods and food products.

Widely used in Food Industries
	In Ice Cream/	:	Provides smooth and creamier texture,
	Dairy Products		prevents formation of ice crystals and
			quick meltdown.
	In Bakery Products	:	Improves texture, crumb and structure,
			increases shelf life, and improves moisture
			retention. It also increases dough yield,
			shelf life.
	In Noodles	:	For Better sheet formation, as well as it
			improves moisture retention, texture and
			machine runnability, thereby increasing
			production.
	In Pet Food	:	As a viscosifier.
	In Pastry Ices	:	Absorbs free water as well as prevents
			excessive stickiness.
	In Processed	:	Improves texture and flavour and use as
	Cheese		Stabiliser.
	In Beverages	:	Controls viscosity, improves body and mouth
			feel and also improves shelf life.
	In Soups	:	For increase thickener and Stabiliser.
	In Noodles	:	Improves texture, form and moisture
			retention.
	In Meat	:	Use as a binder in sausages, it absorbs free
			water, improves flow rate, prevents
			separation and migration.
	In Dressings and	:	For Thickener, emulsion stabilizer and
	Sauces		improve flow properties.

Industrial Guar Gum Powder          

The company supplies a wide range of industrial guar gum powders suitable for use in painting, printing, fire control, dyeing, and textiles. As a stabilizer, thickener and suspending agent Guar gum can also be used in industrial applications and preparations.

Industrial Application
	In Construction	:	As waterproofing agent.
	In Textiles	:	For sizing and finishing.
	In Cosmetics and	:	As conditioner and viscosifier, thickener in
	Pharmaceuticals		toothpastes and shampoos, binder in
			tablets, to disintegrate compressed tablets
			and Mild laxative and soluble dietary fiber.
	In Paper	:	For improved sheet formation, increased
			bursting strength, fold strength, denser
			surface for printing and to get better finish.
	In Oil Field	:	For increase the production rate of oil and
			gas. The use of guar gum increases the oil
			recovery. Guar gum is used as a surfactant,
			synthetic polymer and defoamer ideally
			suited for all rheological requirements of
			water-based and brine-based drilling fluids.
	In Oil well drilling	:	As Fluid-loss controlling agent and
	and Fracturing		additives in fracturing fluids.
	In Mining	:	For concentration of ores and flocculation
			and better recovery.
	In Explosives	:	As water binding agent for aqueous slurry
			explosives.
