Guar gum NEW

Product Description:

  Guar gum is a plant gum that can be extracted from the fruit of the carob tree and guar beans. Carob tree is a perennial shrub, mainly growing in the Mediterranean coast, Guar bean is an annual leguminous plant, mainly growing in India, Pakistan and Texas and other desert-like areas, suitable for growing in the day and night temperature difference and sufficient rain, the current use of guar gum is basically extracted from guar bean. After peeling, the mature guar beans are sent to the grinding plant, where they are separated into endosperm flakes, germ and skin by thermochemical treatment. The germ is often used as animal feed with a high protein content. Endosperm flakes are processed into guar gum at the mill.

Physiological Function:

（1） Lower blood pressure. 

（2） Reduce blood lipids.

（3） Regulate blood sugar. 

（4）It is suitable for nutritional supplements after surgery, especially in the rehabilitation period of digestive tract surgery and the gastrointestinal dysfunction period caused by high temperature and overwork, as well as the weak digestive function period of infants and the elderly. It also applies to energy supplement food for athletes. 

（5） It can promote the proliferation of intestinal bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria, and has a regulatory function on the stomach. 

（6）Remove free radicals in the body and delay aging. 

（7）has a certain weight loss effect.

Product Performance：

  Guar gum has always been an effective additive for paper making. According to its use, guar gum can be classified into in-pulp addition, surface sizing and coating. Adding guar gum to the slurry has the following advantages: 

1) improve the tensile strength of paper; 

2) Improve surface strength and improve printability; 

3) Improve the retention rate of fillers and fine fibers; 

4) Improve the evenness of the paper, Guar gum improves the water filtering performance of the paper machine mesh by micro-flocculation, and the evenness of the paper will not be destroyed; 

5) Reduce the difference between two sides of the paper; Improve the interlayer bonding strength of paperboard.

  Guar gum for surface sizing, the improvement of paper surface properties is particularly obvious:

1) can improve the surface strength of the paper, improve printability, and do not affect the air permeability of the paper; 

2) Improve oil resistance and solvent resistance;

3) Improve the stability of the surface sizing solution; 

4) Can improve coating performance;

5) Improve the glue-philicity of the paper surface. Guar gum for coating can improve the performance of the coating:

6) improve the water retention of the coating; 

7) Improve the rheology of the paint.

Application:

1. Biological immobilization carrier material: Guar gum can be used for the preparation of immobilized tyrosinase biofilm.

2. Application in the field of controlled drug release: Guar gum is a natural galactomannan polymer, which is only degraded by bacteria in the colon, and is an important candidate material for targeted colonic drug release. However, its high water solubility and dilatability lead to intra-gastric release of drugs, which limits its application.

3.  Application in fisheries and environmental protection: the addition of guar gum as a binder to feed significantly enhances the particle stability and mechanical strength of fish feces, facilitates the timely cleaning of feces, and reduces the harm to fish.
