Tamarind Kernel Powder:

Tamarind seed is the raw material used in the manufacturing of tamarind kernel powder.

The seed comprises

• Seed coat or testa (20-30%) and
• White kernel or endosperm (70-75%)

The main utilisation of the white kernel is for manufacturing quality Tamarind Kernel Powder (TKP) and these kernels are also used as ingredient in cattle feed.

TKP is a complex mixture containing  Galactoxyloglucan polysaccharide (55-65%) the major component of TKP

• Proteins (18-20%)
• Lipids(6-10%) and
• Certain other constituents like Fibers, Sugar etc

Galactoxyloglucan commonly known as tamarind gum forms a stiff gel and is used for thickening, stabilising and gelling in food.

Tamarind Kernel Powder forms uniform solution on heating with water while stirring. Maximum viscosity is usually obtained after boiling the dispersion for 20-30 min. It has high water absorption capacity and yields high viscosity over a broad range of pH.

Production process and methods are established with high quality adherence policies in order to preserve and provide the natural characteristics of our products at its natural best and very high yield.

Our products are well assured and manufactured with care to provide high viscosity yield, bright colour and 99.5% passing through 300 mesh sieve for all our grades of Tamarind kernel powder.
