Abstract:
Tamarind is a versatile fruit plant and fruit's pulp has been utilised as a spice in Asian cuisine, particularly in the southern region of India. Tamarind seed, tamarind kernel and tamarind husk were procured and stored for further evaluation after sun drying. All the samples were first screened for proximate composition (AOAC, 2019). The analyzed percent composition of tamarind seeds, kernel and husk have been shown to contain 91.62%, 93.33% and 5.31% dry matter, respectively. They constitute good source of organic as well as inorganic matter.
