In this review paper, the use of different parts of tamarind tree in industry for eco-friendly products and processes with sustainability has been explored. This review article presents the extraction methods adapted to modify the raw materials obtained from tamarind tree into useable form by industry. The review of published data reveals that, fruit shell can be efficiently used as toxic adsorbent, pulp is used in food industry as preservative, Tamarind seed polysaccharide (TSP) a biopolymer from tamarind seed is effectively used as additive in food industry, drug delivery applications and electrochemical industries. The tamarind seed oil is used as biofuel, tamarind leaf extract is employed in textile industry for developing antibacterial fabrics and fruit fiber is successfully used as reinforcement in composite material to replace synthetic fibers and finds application in automobile and construction industries. This study also exposes the fact that there is scope for further use of tamarind and its parts in several areas such targeted drug delivery applications, removal of toxins from industrial effluents, electrochemical industries, agricultural field and preparation of preserved foods which require further research. |
