Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Tamarind Kernel Powder or TKP is a polysaccharide obtained from the endosperm of the tamarind seed of the tamarind tree, botanically known as Tamarindus indica Linn. This TKP based gum is a valuable thickener and stabilizer, used in different industries. TKP is abundantly available and has a good economic viability. TKP is also known as Tamarind Xyloglucan. TKP based thickeners have a wide range of application. In food industries it is used as additives, preservatives, gel forming agent, solidifying agent, binding agent and also as a stabilizer. In textile industries, it is abundantly used by the processors in printing of disperse dyes on polyester fabric. TKP is used in medical field as a substitute, stabilizer in ointments, coating agents for tablets. It has other applications like in leather industries, in preparation of pet food, paper industries, and brick industries.
