Guar (Cyamopsls tetraonolobus) is an
annual plant belonging to the vast family of the Leguminose. The
choice of guar as a tropical plant presents a real potential
development that springs from its seeds whose average composition
is Hydrocolloids 23%, Fats 40% and Proteins 34%.
An examination of these values demonstrates unambiguously the
interest, which lies in the cultivation of this plant. At present,
the use of guar seeds as a source of proteins and fats is purely
local and is still at a stage involving research and industrial
development. |
