About Guar Gum Agarbhathi grade
guar gum is an exo-polysaccharidecomposed of thesugarsgalactoseandmannose.The backbone is a linear chain of I2 1,4-linked mannose residues to which galactose residues are 1,6-linked at every second mannose, forming short side-branches. Guar gum has the ability to withstand temperatures of 80C (176F) for five minutes.
Solubility and viscosity
Guar gum is more soluble thanlocust bean gumdue to its extragalactosebranch points. Unlike locust bean gum, it is not self-gelling.Eitherboraxorcalciumcancross-linkguar gum, causing it togel. In water, it isnon-ionicandhydrocolloidal. It is not affected by ionic strength orpH, but will degrade at extreme pH and temperature (e.g. pH 3 at 50C).It remains stable in solution over pH range 5i7. Strongacidscausehydrolysisand loss of viscosity and alkalies in strong concentration also tend to reduce viscosity. It is insoluble in most hydrocarbon solvents. The viscosity attained is dependent on time, temperature, concentration, pH, rate of agitation and particle size of the powdered gum used. The lower the temperature, the lower the rate at which viscosity increases, and the lower the final viscosity. Above 80, the final viscosity is slightly reduced. Finer guar powders swell more rapidly than larger particle size coarse powdered gum.
Specially Formulated for Incense Stick ManufacturingGuar Gum Agarbhathi grade is precisely engineered to serve the agarbatti industry as a superior binding agent. Its high viscosity and fine granulation enable the creation of incense sticks with consistent texture, enhanced strength, and minimal breakage. The off-white to white powder blends seamlessly with other ingredients, ensuring smooth production processes and reliable results for manufacturers.
Maintaining Purity and Quality StandardsWith a minimum gum content of 80% and purity exceeding 99%, our Guar Gum Agarbhathi grade adheres strictly to international standards for microbial load, ensuring product safety and quality. Packaged securely in 25 kg and 50 kg bags, the powder remains fresh and potent during its 24-month shelf life when stored properly in a cool, dry place.
FAQ's of Guar Gum Agarbhathi grade:
Q: How is Guar Gum Agarbhathi grade used in incense stick manufacturing?
A: Guar Gum Agarbhathi grade serves as a binding agent, helping bind incense ingredients together. Its excellent solubility in cold water and high viscosity ensure smooth mixing and uniform shaping of agarbatti sticks, resulting in stronger and more durable products.
Q: What are the benefits of using odorless Guar Gum in agarbatti production?
A: The odorless quality of this grade ensures that the natural fragrance of incense ingredients remains unaltered, allowing for pure and consistent aromatic results while also improving the final stick's appearance and texture.
Q: When should the Guar Gum powder be added during the agarbatti making process?
A: Guar Gum should be mixed with other dry and wet ingredients at the blending stage, ensuring it dissolves completely in cold water to form a uniform paste before the rolling or extrusion of incense sticks.
Q: Where should the product be stored for optimal shelf life?
A: The powder should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture to retain its quality and effectiveness throughout its 24-month shelf life. Proper storage keeps the gum free from clumping and microbial contamination.
Q: What is the typical packaging size available for Guar Gum Agarbhathi grade?
A: This product is available in 25 kg and 50 kg bags, which are suitable for both small manufacturers and large-scale enterprises in the incense stick industry.
Q: How does compliance with international microbial standards benefit users?
A: Compliance with international microbial standards ensures the product is free from harmful contaminants, safeguarding both manfacturers and end-users while maintaining quality and reliability in incense production.
Q: What are the advantages of using a highly refined and fine mesh Guar Gum for incense?
A: Its fine granulation (through 200 mesh) provides a smooth, lump-free texture, improving binding efficiency, product consistency, and overall production speed while contributing to minimal ash content in finished agarbatti.
