  soils because of their nitrogen fixing capability
  and withstanding long periods of drought makes
  them ideal low input, high yielding trees.

Several phases are included in manufacturing
Tamarind kernel powder

• Sorting-Specific technique is used to clean the
  kernel and discard any kinds of dirt. Cleaner
  machine include screen that is always trembling
  and aspirating to throw away small rather than
  large dirt (Beckett, 1994).
• Roasting-Roasting is a means to decrease water
  level and to soften the shell such that shell
  separation from endosperm during winnowing
  process is easy (Ranken, 1993). One separation
  alternative is by roasting in 1500C for 15
  minutes to make it brittle and then easy to
  separate by winnowing (Gerard, 1980).
• Stripping-Stripping is designated to eliminate
  the undesirable parts, or the parts that cannot
  be consumed (Makfoeld, 1982). Stripping phase is
  easy phase because tamarind shell and kernel
  (cotyledon) have different hardness degree where
  the shell is drier and more brittle (less solid)
  than the kernel (Rao, 1983).
• SeparatingSeparating shell from kernel
  (cotyledon) is compulsory because human must not
  consume the shell. Separating tool (winnower) is
  designed to separate shell from the kernel and
  collect it separately by aspiration process.
  Winnower design is based on 2 conditions, that
  is, include the roasted kernel become dry and
  brittle and the shell become lighter and less
  solid than the kernel.

• Grinding-The purpose of grinding is to obtain
  material with desired smooth degree. Grinder then
  smashes separated kernel from the shell and to
  change it into powder with desired smooth degree
  (Rao, 1983).
• Screening-When tamarind seed powder is used as
  thickener, the thick liquid without clod is more
  desirable. It should be ensured that powder has
  been well separated before it is heated in liquid
  form (Charley, 1970). The use of tamarind seed
  powder as thickener is depended on the purity and
  the provision of demanding size. Whole tamarind
  seed powder should pass 150-300 mesh screen. Such
  tamarind seed powder specification will produce
  good result (Rao, 1983).
• Packing-Tamarind seed powder is produced, and
  then packed in water resistant package. Overheat
  and over humidity should be avoided. Packed
  tamarind seed powder is saved in dry space such
  that it can be stored for long period.
