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,
2
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. What Does Tamarind Powder Taste
Like? Tamarind powder delivers a distinctive,
subtle tart and sour flavour with citrus
undertones. Compared to raw tamarind, Mevive's
tamarind powder taste is more sweet-and-sour and
highly concentrated. However, the powder doesn't
overpower any dish. How To Use Tamarind
Powder? Dehydrated and spray-dried tamarind
powder possesses the tartaric, malic, and citric
acid from the raw tamarind pulp. It transforms
the powder by offering a souring power to
instant food products. These tamarind powders
also act as a thickening agent when blended with
instant products.

The Ratio Of Tamarind Powder Vs Fresh
Tamarind Nine kilograms of fresh tamarind are
processed and converted into one kilogram of
spray-dried tamarind powder. In the dehydration
process, Four kilograms of fresh tamarind are
converted into one kilogram of dehydrated
tamarind powder. Hence,

Mevive's dried tamarind powder gets spotlighted
as an instant and easy replacement for fresh
tamarind pulp.
Benefits Of Tamarind Powder
When using raw tamarind pulp, you should slice it
from a block of pulp and soak it in boiling
water. Then it needs time to get drained, leaving
a thick, sticky dark paste behind. But
unfortunately, when this tamarind extract is
blended with instant food products, it will lead
to fungus, whitish, pest formation, spoiling the
entire item. Unlike raw tamarind, Mevive's dried
tamarind powder will instantly dissolve in any
instant products without leaving any traces of
lumps.
