Uses of De-oiled Tamarind

Culinary: It can be incorporated into a variety of culinary preparations, serving as a natural thickener in smoothies, baked goods, and soups
Industrial: The powder is widely used in industrial applications — as a sizing agent in textiles, an emulsifying and saponification agent in soaps, shampoos, and detergents, and as an extraction aid for platinum group metals, significantly enhancing ore yield. In oil drilling, it serves as a filler material that, when inserted in liquid form, solidifies to prevent ground shrinkage, thereby reducing the risk of earthquakes.
Water Purification: In water purification, particularly in Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs), deoiled TKP acts as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic coagulants and flocculants such as alum or polyaluminium chloride. ETPs are specialized facilities designed to treat industrial wastewater by removing suspended solids, organic matter, heavy metals, and turbidity before safe discharge or reuse.
Medical: In traditional medicine, tamarind seed powder is valued for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, often used in remedies for digestive issues and skin conditions. It is also utilized as an absorbent in sterilized medical bandages
Animal Feed: Deoiled tamarind seed powder is used as animal feed due to its rich nutritional content, serving as a viable and nutritious supplement for livestock
