About Tamarind Seed Gum Powder

Tamarind Seed Gum Powder, also known as Tamarind Kernel Powder (TKP), Tamarind Seed Polysaccharide (TSP), or Tamarind Xyloglucan, is a natural hydrocolloid derived from the endosperm of seeds from the tamarind tree (Tamarindus indica). It is a white to light beige, free-flowing, tasteless powder widely used as a thickening, stabilizing, gelling, and emulsifying agent in food applications. Being plant-based and non-toxic, it's an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic additives.

Key Properties

High viscosity and water absorption capacity
Stable across a wide pH range, high heat, salt, acid, sugar, and freeze-thaw cycles
Forms gels and provides creamy mouthfeel
Newtonian flow behavior with good emulsification and moisture retention
Composed mainly of xyloglucan (glucose:xylose:galactose ratio ~3:2:1)

Common Food Applications

Ice creams and frozen desserts Prevents ice crystal formation, improves texture, and stabilizes against thermal shock
Sauces, dressings, mayonnaise, ketchups, and soups Thickens and stabilizes emulsions
Bakery and confectionery Enhances moisture retention in cakes/pastries; provides smooth texture in gummies, jellies, and candies
Beverages (fruit juices, syrups, smoothies) Thickens and suspends particles
Dairy products, jams, pickles, and pet foods Acts as a gelling agent and stabilizer
Often used in gluten-free or low-calorie formulations
