General Industry Outlook

9. The seed production of the plant is
a major contributor to the overall
supply of the product.
This is because the seed is the final
source of the byproducts. Small
shortage in this supply leads to sky
rocketing prices and interference with
the manufacturing processes.

10. Guar Meal is an important feed for cattle. It has high protein
content with up to 55% protein in the digestible material. It is a
last product in the processing of guar gum and is further
toasted at high temperatures to remove an inhibitor and
improve the nutritive value.
The guar split manufacturing process involves combination of
the husk and the germ and these are the most important
protein sources in the guar meal.
 At “Altranature Ingredients” there is a great variety of
products derived from the guar and manufactured to the
required precision. Information and guidance on uses is also
