ABSTRACT:
Guar gum is prepared by hydrating guar splits with sufficient water to provide a total moisture content of 25-80%, extruding the hydrated splits, and grinding them, while wet, preferably to a finely divided state. For most uses the ground gum is then dried, preferably in a flash dryer. Typically the hydration is carried out at 5.degree.-95.degree. C. for at least 1/4 hour; the preferred conditions are 20.degree.-80.degree. C. for 0.5 to 2 hours. The extrusion is conveniently carried out in an extruder provided with a rotatable screw for transporting and working the hydrated splits. Typically grinding is carried out in a hammermill.
