The Tamarind Kernel Powder unit was established in 1982 by Shri. Arun Agrawal, a Chemical Engineer from Nagpur University.

He is a man of high virtues and holds many prestigious posts in society, including District Governorship of Lions Club International dist. 323-C in 1994-95.

He is well supported by his young & dynamic son Mr. Ankur Agrawal.

  


A.K. Products

This state of Art manufacturing unit is located at Bilaspur, in the heart of Indian State Chattisgarh. We are currently supplying Tamarind Kernel Powder mainly to Paper Industry, Textile Industry, Dying and Printing Mills, Jute Mills, Card Board Industry and Explosive Plants. Our manufacturing capacity is about 2000 M.T. TKP per annum.

 

Pulverizing Section

The crop of Tamarind arrives by end of February & seed starts coming in the market by last week of March & it continues till end of May.

We normally procure 3000 M.T. of Tamarind seed in these two months. At the time of purchase strict vigilance is kept on variety and origin of seed because this affects the quality of Tamarind Kernel Powder (TKP). We have adequate arrangement for Warehousing and strict parameters are followed in its storage to ensure proper safety of seed for the entire season.

 

Kernel Sorting

The manufacturing process of TKP involves several stages, starting from proper grading of raw Tamarind seeds to finally achieving bright creamy white Tamarind Kernel Powder.

The Tamarind seed Husk or the brown outer shell of seed obtained after decortication of roasted seed is also very useful product.

This Tamarind seed Husk constitutes to 35% of Total seed weight & the other 65% is white kernel used for manufacturing TKP. These kernels are also used as ingredient in camel feed.

 

Tamarind Kernel Powder

Properties :

Tamarind Kernel Powder (TKP) is a complex mixture containing a galactoxyloglucan polysaccharide (55-65%), Proteins (18-20%), Lipids(6-10%) and certain minor constituents e.g. Fibres, Sugar etc.

Tamarind Kernel Powder forms uniform solution on heating with water while stirring. maximum viscosity is usually obtained after boiling the dispersion for 20-30 min.

Thick viscous dispersion are formed that yield strong, transparent, elastic films on evaporation. Tamarind polysaccharide, because of its unique properties i.e. low viscosity and low molecular weight compared to many other polysaccharide & its property of forming gel at high sugar concentrations have found numerous new applications.

Applications of TKP :

  1. It has excellent penetration & fiber forming property. It is very effectively used for sizing in dyeing & printing industry.
  2. It is also used for sizing in jute yarn & cotton wraps.
  3. It has extensive use in paper & explosive industry, where it is used as viscosity builder.
  4. It is very effectively used these days by oil drilling companies as soil stabilizer.
  5. It is widely used as textile thickener.
  6. It has numerous other applications & its low cost gives it an edge over other thickening agents.
