ü Tamarind Seeds consist of 35% Husk & 65 % Kernel.

ü The white kernel obtained of tamarind seeds are utilized for producing Tamarind Kernel Powder.

ü Tamarind kernel is rich in Protein, Carbohydrates, Fibers and Oils.

ü Solubility: It has a high-water absorption capacity and its solutions can retain viscosity over a broad range of pH.

ü Usage/Application: When heated with water, it forms thick, viscous, colloidal dispersions that yield strong, transparent, elastic films on evaporation.

ü This Tamarind Kernel Powder based gum is a valuable thickener and stabilizer, used in different industries.

ü Tamarind Kernel Powder based thickeners have a wide range of application.

ü Tamarind seed gum is composed of glucose, xylose and galactose in a ratio 3:2:1.

ü The cotyledon or kernel in tamarind seeds is considered as a waste. However, the kernel contains starch and gum which is processed under different steps to transform into powder form.

ü Moreover, this is an economical alternative as it has the unique property of high viscosity at a low concentration which makes it a cost-effective additive in dispersal printing on polyester fabrics.
