Project Feasibility Report Tamarind Concentrate

TAMARIND CONCENTRATE


PRODUCT AND ITS USES
Tamarind is a daily used kitchen ingredient in India. Though the dried fruit is not directly used, its pulp is widely used in food preparations. It is used in food and snack preparations to impart sour taste. States like Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, UP, Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Orissa are the major producers of tamarind.
With increased hygiene consciousness and ease of use in urban india, the use of tamarind concentrate is gaining market.

MARKET POTENTIAL
Tamarind is commonly used in food preparations and many types of snacks. Restaurants, caterers, hostels, canteens and food processors are the bulk consumers of tamarind paste. Because of high acidity, tamarind paste has longer pot life. While most of the tamarind fruits are consumed in the domestic market a little is exported and or concentrate is prepared.

Apart from the growing domestic market, there is much potential to export it to countries like USA, UK, Middle east and Africa.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Clean and dried fruits are soaked in water for one hour. Then the whole stock is heated in a S.S. Jacketed Kettle for an hour. The pulp is extracted in a pulper and then filtered to obtain the required quality concentrate. The residue is recycled into the process and further concentrate is extracted. The final pulp is packed in suitable containers or a polypack.

Compliance under FPA Act is mandatory for the final product.
