This invention relates to waste product of tamarind industry were used to obtain protein that can be incorporated in value added product development.
Background of the Invention
US4895938A: A method for separating polysaccharides from tamarind seeds, comprising:
(1) Pulverizing the tamarind seeds to form particles of less than 80 microns;
(2) Dispersing the particles in an aqueous medium consisting essentially of water and 5-60% by weight of at least one water soluble organic solvent;
(3) Classifying the dispersion in a hydrocyclone, whereby the particles of polysaccharides descend to the bottom of the hydrocyclone, from which they are discharged; and whereby particles of other components, in particular proteins, simultaneously rise to the top of the hydrocyclone, from which they are discharged.
Research Gap: Polysaccharides are seprated from tamarind seeds and our work focused on protein extraction.
US5876729A: The use of extracts of tamarind seeds enriched in xyloglycans as an active agent in a cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical product for topical usage for the skin and/or other exposed parts of the body. The extracts of tamarind seeds enriched in xyloglycans are present in the cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical product for topical use in a total weight fraction comprised between 0.05% and 100%, preferably between 1% and 25% by weight.
Research Gap: Xyloglycans are extracted to utilize in cosmetic industry. Our work is focused on Protein extraction and its utilization in Food Industry
EP2575971B1: The present invention relates to an anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical and/or dermocosmetic composition comprising tamarind seed polysaccharide in combination with an extract of Ferula spp as active ingredients.
Research Gap: Polysaccharides from tamarind seeds and its use in treatment of inflammatory diseases
None of the prior art indicate above either alone or in combination with one another disclose what the present invention has disclosed. Present invention is tannin and other coloring matter in the testa makes the whole seed unsuitable for consumption. Tamarind seed is the raw material used in the manufacture of tamarind seed kernel powder, polysaccharide (jellose), adhesive and tannin.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that are further described in the detailed description of the invention.
This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention and nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.
To further clarify advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which is illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail with the accompanying drawings.
Tamarind seed is a by-product of tamarind pulp industry. The presence of tannin and other coloring matter in the testa makes the whole seed unsuitable for consumption. Tamarind seed is the raw material used in the manufacture of tamarind seed kernel powder, polysaccharide (jellose), adhesive and tannin. The seeds are also used for other purposes and are presently gaining importance as an alternative source of protein, rich in some essential amino acids.
In this work tamarind seeds which are wate product of tamarind industry were used to obtain protein that can be incorporated in value added product development.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The detailed description of various exemplary embodiments of the disclosure is described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments are described herein in such details as to clearly communicate the disclosure. However, the amount of details provided herein is not intended to limit the anticipated variations of embodiments; on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
It is also to be understood that various arrangements may be devised that, although not explicitly described or shown herein, embody the principles of the present disclosure. Moreover, all statements herein reciting principles, aspects, and embodiments of the present disclosure, as well as specific examples, are intended to encompass equivalents thereof.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of example embodiments. As used herein, the singular forms “a",” “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes” and/or “including,” when used herein, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and/or groups thereof.
It should also be noted that in some alternative implementations, the functions/acts noted may occur out of the order noted in the figures. For example, two figures shown in succession may, in fact, be executed concurrently or may sometimes be executed in the reverse order, depending upon the functionality/acts involved.
In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", “third”, and the like in the present invention are used for the purpose of description only, and are not to be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defining "first" and "second" may include at least one of the features, either explicitly or implicitly.
Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which example embodiments belong. It will be further understood that terms, e.g., those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
These and other advantages of the present subject matter would be described in greater detail with reference to the following figures. It should be noted that the description merely illustrates the principles of the present subject matter. It will thus be appreciated that those skilled in the art will be able to devise various arrangements that, although not explicitly described herein, embody the principles of the present subject matter and are included within its scope.
Tamarind seed is a by-product of tamarind pulp industry. The presence of tannin and other coloring matter in the testa makes the whole seed unsuitable for consumption. Tamarind seed is the raw material used in the manufacture of tamarind seed kernel powder, polysaccharide (jellose), adhesive and tannin. The seeds are also used for other purposes and are presently gaining importance as an alternative source of protein, rich in some essential amino acids.
Best Method of working:
Tamarind Protein is extracted from kernel powder using following method
Tamarind Kernel Powder

Mixed with Deionized water (1:10) ratio

pH adjustment ( 10-12) using 1N NaOH (1 hr)

Centrifuge

Protein Precipate seprated
Protein extracted is utilized in different value products and the change in the protein content is estimated by lowry Method

We Claim:

1. Protein extracted from tamarindus indica and its application for value added product development is functioning of tamarind seed is the raw material used in the manufacture of tamarind seed kernel powder, polysaccharide (jellose), adhesive, tannin; the seeds are also used for other purposes and are presently gaining importance as an alternative source of protein, rich in some essential amino acids.
