Food grade E412 Guar gum is produced in stages. Guar cracking selection is important in this process.

Cracked guar is sieved to clean and then soaked for pre-soaking in a double-cone blender.
The pre-wetting step is very important as it determines the hydration rate of the final product.
Soaked cracked guar, which has a very high moisture content, is passed through a fine flaker.

The guar that becomes leaves and flakes is ground and then dried.
The powder is passed through rotary sieves to provide the required particle size.
Oversized particles are either recycled to the main ultrafine value or re-milled in a separate grinding plant, depending on the viscosity requirement.

This step helps to reduce the load on the grinder.
Soaked cracked guar is difficult to grind.
Grinding them directly generates more heat in the grinder.

This generated heat is not desirable for the process as it reduces the hydration of the product.
Refined cracked guar is obtained by separating the shell from the endosperm halves by heating, grinding and polishing.
