Starch Powder

Pure starch powder is a white, tasteless and odorless that is insoluble in cold water or alcohol. It consists of linear and helical amylose molecules and the branched amylopectin. Depending on the plant, starch generally contains 20 to 25% amylose and 75 to 80% amylopectin by weight.Glycogen, the glucose store of animals, is a more branched version of amylopectin.

Starch or amylum is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds. This polysaccharide is produced by most green plants as an energy store. It is the most common carbohydrate in human diets and is contained in large amounts in staple foods such as potatoes, wheat, maize (corn), rice, and cassava.

In industry, starch is converted into sugars, for example by malting, and fermented to produce ethanol in the manufacture of beer, whisky and biofuel. It is processed to produce many of the sugars used in processed foods. Dissolving starch in warm water gives wheatpaste, which can be used as a thickening, stiffening or gluing agent. The biggest industrial non-food use of starch is as an adhesive in the papermaking process. Starch can be applied to parts of some garments before ironing, to stiffen them.

Guar Gum Powder

Guar gum,is typically produced as a free-flowing, off-white powder consisting of slight odor. Guargum also called guaran, is a galactomannan. It is primarily the ground endosperm of guar beans. The guar seeds are dehusked, milled and screened to obtain the guar gum.Since a long time Guar Gum can be also named as a hydrocolloid, is treated as the key product for humans and animals as it has a very high nourishing property.

Guar Gum is an effective thickener and stabilizer. Guar Gum is relatively cost effective as compared to other thickeners and stabilizers along with it being an effective binder, plasticizer and emulsifier.Guar gum is also known as guarkernmehl, guaran, goma guar, gomme guar and galactomannan.

Endosperm of guar seeds are used in many sectors of industries like mining, petroleum, drilling and textile., food products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, water treatment, mining, drilling, explosives, confectioneries and many more. 

Properties of Guar Gum

• Guar gum has reasonably more thickening property as compared to corn starch.
• Holds back the growth of ice crystal
• Guar is draught resistant plant
• Guar gum forms gel in water

Product is packed three in one craft bag with polyethylene plastic film inside.

Packing: 1kg, 25kg Bag

Approx Price : Rs. 180 per Kg.

Guar Gum is used as:

• Bonding agent
• Hydrocolloid
• Gelling agent
• Natural Fiber
• Fracturing agent
• Natural thickener
• Emulsifier
• Stabilizer

Zeolite

Zeolite is a crystalline solids structures made of silicon, aluminum and oxygen. They can perform ion exchange, filtering, odor removal, chemical sieve and gas absorption tasks. The most well known use for zeolites is in water softeners. Calcium in water can cause it to be "hard" and capable of forming scale and other problems. Zeolites charged with the much less damaging sodium ions can allow the hard water to pass through its structure and exchange the calcium for the sodium ions. In a similar way zeolites can absorb ions and molecules and thus act as a filter for odor control, toxin removal and as a chemical sieve.

 

Use of Different Grade Zeolies:

• Aquaculture - Decreases ammonia levels in ponds and tanks, filtrates water for cleaner tanks.
• Detergents
• Medical
• Agriculture
• Petrochemical industry
• Increases biological activity, reduces nutrient levels, cuts sludge volume and odours, reduces ammonia and BOD levels in ion exchange columns or bed effluent, can be back flushed and regenerated, with ammonia recovered for fertiliser, increases sewerage plant capacity and life cycle.
• Vermiculture - Traps nitrogen through cation-exchange, eliminates odours in worm farms, absorbs and holds heavy metals, stabilises the pH value of worm beds, increases the nutrient value of vermicast.
• Mining - Remediation of mines through absorption and retention of dangerous heavy metals and other metallurgical wastes.
• Horticulture - Retains nutrients longer to lower fertiliser costs, substantial yield improvements, less nutrient leeching, long term soil improvement.
• Stockfeeds - Diminishes ammonia toxicity and scouring, increases nitrogen levels in manures for higher fertiliser values, reduces odour levels in sheds and a safer, slow release off ammonia from urea, produces lower mortality rates in fowls and limits the moisture levels in organic wastes.

Price Range : Rs. 5 to 30 per/Kg.

Packing : 25 Kg. Bag
