How is Tamarind Powder produced and what does it contain?

Ripe tamarind pods are depulped, seed fragments removed, and the tangy fruit paste is filtered to eliminate fibres. The purified pulp is then spray-dried at inlet 160 °C / outlet 90 °C onto itself (no carriers), yielding a free-flowing brown powder with moisture < 4 %. The process concentrates tamarind’s organic acids—chiefly tartaric acid—plus natural sugars, magnesium and potassium. Polyphenols such as procyanidins and catechins confer antioxidant capacity comparable to pomegranate extracts. The absence of added maltodextrin means each gram delivers full flavour intensity, allowing formulators to achieve authentic tamarind taste at lower dosages.

What health benefits are associated with Tamarind Powder?

Tamarind’s tartaric acid and flavonoid profile exhibit antioxidant activity that may reduce oxidative stress markers in vitro. Traditional Ayurvedic practice uses tamarind as a gentle laxative and digestive tonic; small clinical studies suggest the fruit may aid post-meal glucose control and support liver function by enhancing bile flow. Its high magnesium and potassium content (≈ 130 mg and 900 mg per 100 g) contribute to electrolyte balance. Because research is still emerging, Tamarind Powder should complement, not replace, a balanced diet.

Claim strength: Moderate

Is the powder suitable for allergen-controlled and vegan applications?

Yes. This ingredient is 100 % tamarind with zero carriers, dairy, gluten or animal derivatives, qualifying for vegan, kosher and halal formulation. It is produced on equipment that also handles nuts, peanuts, sesame, soy and gluten cereals; strict GMP and dedicated cleaning validate < 10 ppm allergen residue, yet absolute absence cannot be guaranteed.

Claim strength: High

How do I rehydrate Tamarind Powder to replace fresh pulp?

Dissolve 10 g powder in 60 ml warm water and let stand five minutes. The mixture recreates tamarind concentrate at roughly 32 °Brix, suitable for curries, chutneys and beverages. Strain if a pulp-free syrup is needed, or adjust water for thinner applications such as marinades.

Claim strength: Moderate

Does spray-drying preserve tamarind’s organic acids?

Tartaric acid, the principal acid responsible for tamarind’s sour flavour and antioxidant potential, is heat-stable below 200 °C. Analytical HPLC shows > 95 % retention after spray-drying at outlet 90–95 °C, ensuring authentic sweet-sour taste without off-notes.

Claim strength: High

What is the shelf life and best storage practice?

Tamarind Powder’s low water activity (≈ 0.20) inhibits microbial growth. Store in a foil pouch or HDPE drum below 25 °C and 65 % RH; flavour and colour remain within specification for 24 months. Once opened, reseal promptly and use a desiccant sachet to prevent caking.
