Effects of seed priming using cold plasma on increasing germination and growth of guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) seeds under salt stress conditions [PDF]
Effects of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) Helium plasma treatments on guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) seed germination and seedling growth were studied. Seeds were pretreated with 0, 1/44 and 0/68 W of cold plasma for 60 s.

Green stabilization of microscale iron particles using guar gum: bulk rheology, sedimentation rate and enzymatic degradation [PDF]
Guar gum can be used to effectively improve stability and mobility of microscale zerovalent iron particles (MZVI) used in groundwater remediation. Guar gum is a food-grade, environment friendly natural polysaccharide, which is often used as thickening ...

Effect of molecular weight on the ability of guar gum to enhance "weak gel" rheology of microdispersed oxidised cellulose (MDOC) [PDF]
MDOC comprises small, essentially insoluble, particles which associate to form “weak gel” networks at concentrations above ∼4 wt%. Association is promoted by guar gum, causing an increase in G′ at low levels of addition and a decrease at higher ...

Effects of Some Additives on In Vitro True Digestibility of Wheat and Soybean Straw Pellets
This study was aimed to explore the nutrient content, relative feed values (RFV) and in vitro true digestibilities (IVTD) of wheat straw and soybean straw pellets produced with the addition of molasses, guar meal and sepiolite.

Improvement of gums in physicochemical and rheological properties of barley-fortified saltine cracker dough [PDF]
Effects of hydrocolloids (arabic gum, guar gum, and xanthan gum) on the physicochemical and rheological properties of whole-barley fortified cracker flour were determined using solvent retention capacity, alveograph, and Mixolab profiles.
