The Mysore Starch Manufacturing Company

Bangarapet, Kolar, Karnataka

We manufacture moderate grade tamarind kernel powder GRADE C passing through 100-150 mesh, Tamarind seeds are derived from tamarind tree and tamarind seeds consist of 30% husk and 70% white kernel, which are further processed to make tamarind kernel powder. We manufacture tamarind kernel powder of different grades.

We manufacture High quality tamarind kernel powder Grade A passing through 300 350 mesh containing high viscosity and high filtration Powder, Tamarind seeds are derived from tamarind tree, tamarind seeds comprise of 35% husk and 65% white kernel is used for producing different grades of powders are called starch .The white kernels are rich in carbohydrates, fibres, oils and protein as well and also has high absorbing water capacity. Hence the tamarind kernel powder is 300% more efficient than corn starch.

PROCUREMENT OF RAW MATERIAL:

Tamarind kernel Powder is one of the natural hydrocolloid source containing natural gums and starch , and Viscosity is the main parameter to assess the quality of natural gums like tamarind kernel powder. The applications of any natural gums are dependent on its viscosity and other rheological properties i.e. directly linked to procurement of raw material and roasting methods used in separation of tamarind kernels from Testa (shell) because over roasting tamarind kernels will decrease gum concentration (gel strength) and starch levels as well as the viscosity solution hence It is summarized that the viscosity of powder solution also depends on gum concentration and roasting methods. We manufacture different grades and procure different raw materials of Tamarind Kernel Powder products for different industrial usages and applications.

Also known as MODIFIED TAMARIND KERNEL POWDER

Tamarind kernel powder is a rich source of xyloglucan gum and carboxymethylation of tamarind kernel powder is carried out mainly with a view to utilize the tamarind gum for broader applications. When Carboxymethylation is done to tamarind kernel powder it increases its solubility in cold water and the stability of its paste to microorganisms and the reaction conditions are optimized with respect to concentration of sodium hydroxide, monochloroacetic acid, solvent ratio, reaction time, and reaction temperature.

RAW MATERIAL USED:

Tamarind kernel powder

PACKAGING DETAILS:

• Packing:25kg or 50kg per bag
• Packed in:Hdpe Polylined Woven Sacks
• Due to extensive applications of carboxy methyl tamarind kernel powder, the product is being manufactured in large quantities.

USES:

• Pharmaceuticals Industry
• Food Industry
• Textile industry
• Printing gums Industry
• Oil and gas Industry

Handling of Modified Tamarind gum powder

Carboxy methyl tamarind kernel powder should be packed in moisture proof containers. And excessive heat and humidity should be provided; the gum powder may deteriorate through enzymic action during long storage. To avoid this, modified tamarind kernel powder should be mixed with 0.5% by weight of sodium bisulfite and fumigate with sulphur dioxide at frequent times.
