Product - Guar Splits

Guar split refers to the refined endosperm (the inner part) of the guar bean, separated mechanically from the germ and husk, serving as the primary raw material to produce guar gum powder used globally in oil drilling, food, textiles, and pharma industries. This pale, polished product is essentially the protein-rich heart of the bean, crucial for creating high-viscosity gum for thickening and stabilizing.

  • Raw Material: The core component extracted from guar seeds (cluster beans).
  • Process: Seeds are roasted, cracked, and then the germ and fibrous hull are removed via polishing and sieving, leaving the endosperm halves (splits).
  • Yield: About 28-30% of the guar seed yields refined splits.
