Food Additives
Guar
Gum
- Guar Gum is a white to yellowish
white powder. It is nearly odorless. Dissolved in hot or cold water
guar gum forms a paste of high viscosity. Guar's viscosity is a
function of temperature, time and concentration.
- It is soluble in hot and cold water but insoluble in most organic solvents.
- It is non-ionic and maintains a constant high viscosity over a broad range of pH.
- The viscosity of its solution increases gradually with increasing concentration of guar gum in water.
- Temperature, pH, presence of salts and other solids influence the viscosity of guar gum solution.
- Guar gum forms highly viscous
colloidal dispersions when hydrated in cold water. The time required
for complete hydration in water and to achieve maximum viscosity depend
on various factors, i.e., the pH, temperature, grade of powder used and
equipment etc.
- Guar gum is compatible with a
variety of inorganic and organic substances including certain dyes and
various constituents of food.
- Guar gum has excellent thickening, emulsifying, stabilizing and film forming properties
- At very low concentration, guar gum has excellent settling (flocculation) properties and it acts as a filter aid.
- Guar gum powder has strong hydrogen bonding properties.
Sodium Benzoate
We manufacture and
supply premium quality sodium benzoate that is widely used as a
preservative in food products including preserves, salad dressings jams
, fruit juices , pickles, soya sauce etc.
Maize Starch
Starch is a
carbohydrate which occurs in all vegetable matter and is found in
commercially recoverable quantities in Maize, Tapioca, Potato, Wheat,
and Rice.
MAIZE STARCH is a
white or creamy powder having various direct and indirect applications
in industries. Starch can be modified to suit individual requirement of
the users and such starches are known as chemical starches/Dextrin. The
maize starch finds application in different industries as a binder,
stabilizers, yarn sizing, thickening and suspending agent, viz.
textile, paints, detergent, paper, ceramics, pharmaceuticals etc.
besides such direct industrial application of starch, it is also
converted into a range of starch derivatives, viz. Liquid Glucose,
Dextrose Monohydrate, Dextrose Anhydrous, Maltodextrin, Sorbitol etc.,
all of which find application in the food processing and
pharmaceuticals industries.
Dextrose
Dextrose is the
name given to the acid or enzymatically hydrolysed from starch.
Chemically, Dextrose is known as Alpha-D-Glucose. It is a crystalline
form of D-Glucose and is a vital -ingredient of entire plant kingdom.
Depending upon the presense or absence of water - molecules, it occurs
in two forms namely Dextrose Anhydrous and Monohydrate. It is the
product obtained by a step further from hydrolysis as compared to
incomplete hydrolysis of Glucose. Hence it is more of a short chained
carohydrate. Dextrose Monohydrate, by vitue of its molecular structure
has unique properties, thus making its uses quite distinctive as
compared to the intermediate hydrolysis compounds. Nowadays, acid
hydrolysis is seldom used and the trend is towards the modern enzymatic
process giving good quality of the product, its low ash content makes
it compatible with healthcare and nutrition.
C.M.C
CMC is a technical
grade sodium carboxy methyl cellulose a long chain colloid used in
water base mud systems to develop viscosity and /or water loss control.
It is a powder which is easily dispersible in the drilling fluid.
CMC(HV) meets OCMA specification DFCP-7 as a thickening agent for water base mud systems.
CMC(LV) is
effective fluid loss control agent in most water base mud systems.
Including systems where sea or salt water is the make up fluid.
EN-CMC(HV) performs the function while imparting viscosity.
PACKING
CMC is normally
packed in 50 KG export quality paper bags. Special packing such as a
woven polypropylene outer bags, palletization, wrapping and strapping
is available on request.
