Dried Tamarind Powder

1. Dried Tamarind Powder: Uses, Benefits, Manufacturing Process What Is Dried Tamarind Powder? The tamarind powder is obtained from tamarind pulp through dehydration or spray-drying techniques. The flavour of dried tamarind powder is intensely more sweet-and-sour and densely concentrated than raw tamarind. In addition, the powder offers the advantages of natural tamarind pulp and ease of handling, transporting, and storing. How Tamarind Powder Are Made Up Of? Upon maturity, Mevive procures the farm-fresh raw tamarind that has been separated from its tree. First, the procured raw tamarind are graded before they undergo washing. Next, the damaged, rotten, or spoiled tamarind will be eliminated during cleaning. Next, the hard shells of the graded washed and cleaned tamarind will be removed and deseeded before they undergo further processing. Next, the deseeded tamarind will become ready to move into the drying process. Mevive will either employ a dehydration process or spray-drying method based on our customer's preference. When the customer picks the dehydration process, we move the extracted tamarind pulp from the deseeded tamarind to undergo a hot air dehydration process in a conveyor belt where the moisture content will be removed entirely. Finally, they are grounded to powder. While the customer opts for the spray-drying method, the tamarind pulp will be homogenized to obtain the tamarind pulp droplets. Then, the extracted clear juice is spray-dried inside the spray dryer using an atomiser. The hot air in the dryer will separate the water content. Further, the dry or spray-dried tamarind is pulverized to obtain the free-flowing dried/spray-dried tamarind powder. Before grinding and storing, we ensure that the tamarind gets dried completely since any residual water content might cause mould. Finally, the tamarind powder is collected and allowed to cool. Our metal and colour sorting machines are perfect for preventing the presence of damaged, discoloured, or foreign particles before processing. Finally, the dried or spray-dried tamarind powder gets sterile-packed without moisture content. Mevive's air- packed bag ensures that the dried tamarind stays fresh without lumps.
