| TAMARIND Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties | Large tree up to 25 m (82 ft) tall, native to Africa and tropical Asia. The plant has pirmatifid leaves consisting of several ovoidal leaflets, short, white-yellowish, racemose flowers obcompressed about 5 to 8 cm, and long fruits narrowing between the seeds. The fruits exhibit a woody epicarp, fleshy, black, sweet–sour mesocarp, and a parchment-like, membraneous endocarp. Commercial qualities come from Egypt, India, Ceylon, Java and the Antilles. The part used is the fruit, skinned of the epicarp. Tamarind has a sweet–sour, agreeable taste. The name tamarind is given due to the acidic odor and juice of the fruit. | Uses | tamarind (Tamarindus indica) is astringent and anti-septic. Researchers have isolated xyloglucan from extracts of the plant’s seeds. Xyloglucan has demonstrated strong immuno-stimulating properties. It may have some anti-oxidant capabilities as well. other constituents of this plant include citric, tartaric, and malic acids; potassium bitartrate; polysaccharides; proteins; and lipids. Scientists recommend tamarind for protecting the skin against environmentally induced damage, stimulating skin repair, and for skin with low immune defenses. | Composition | The volatile constituents of the fruit pulp of tamarind were found to contain 66 compounds. Of these, furan derivatives and carboxylic acids were dominant, accounting for 44.4 and 33.3% of the total volatiles, respectively. The major components were furfural (38.2%), palmitic acid (14.8%), oleic acid (8.1%) and phenylacetaldehyde (7.5%). |
