Starch from Tamarind seed is considered to be a nonedible and inexpensive component,
with many industrial applications. Extraction and characterization of tamarind seed starch
was carried out for the synthesis of biopolymer. Tamarind seeds were collected, cleaned
and further roasted, decorticated, and pulverized to get starch powder. Total starch content
present in each tamarind seed is estimated to be around 65–70%. About 84.68% purified
starch can be recovered from the tamarind seed. Defatted Tamarind seed starch has an …
