Tamarind kernel powder

An experiment was conducted to study the seed coat to kernel ratio, seed coat tannin and tamarind kernel powder (TKP) outturn in different age-classes viz., age class of 10-20 years, age class of 20-30 years, age class of 30-40 years, age class of 40-50 years and age class of 50-60 years at Paiyur, Kaveripattinam taluk, Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu, India.

Tamarind seeds are rich source of polysaccharide which is obtained from tamarind seed kernels. Present study was carried to examine the variation in Tamarind Seed Powder (TSP) yield with respect to different seed sources collected from Tamil Nadu (19), Kerala (3), Karnataka (13) and Andhra Pradesh (5). 100 seed weight were measured and seeds were roasted and Kernel and testa content and gum yield were measured. The maximum 100 seed weight was obtained in Aasan and which also recorded in highest gum yield. The percentage yield was about 50 %.

The study result revealed that 5 minutes of roasting resulted with the moisture loss of 12% yield 95 % creamy white colour kernels with the viscosity of 13.8 cp 12 % (2.54 g of TSP/20 g TKP) and maximum polysaccharide yield . Although the remaining roasting treatments with more time of roasting gave good decortication efficiency, but resulted with brownish kernel colour and low Tamarind Kernel Powder outturn. The remaining treatments recorded low gum outturn and viscosity when compared to 5 minutes roasting.
