Luctoman® is a special grade of Guar Gum derived from the endosperm of the Guar seed (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba). It is a cold water-soluble natural galactomannan that yields high viscosities at low concentrations and appears as a fine powder. In pharmaceutical applications, Luctoman™ functions as a binder, disintegrant, coating agent, and thickener. It is available in various grades based on viscosity, hydration rate, and particle size.
