Abstract

[Several types of physical and chemical modifications are known to enhance the quality and acceptability of tamarind kernel powder (TKP) products in food industries.] Sodium salts of O-carboxymethyl derivatives of TKP at different levels of substitution, were prepared in isopropanol medium. Derivatives were characterized by degree of substitution (DS), intrinsic viscosity and elution profile on gel permeation chromatography. Alkaline solutions, purified by alcohol precipitation showed higher intrinsic viscosity due to an alkali soluble fraction. Solution properties of the derivatives as a function of DS were found to be affected both by the substituent groups and by the alkali used for derivatization. Swelling power, solubility and tolerance to organic solvents of the derivatives increased with increasing carboxymethylation. Interaction properties of TKP with calcium chloride and sodium tetraborate were reversed upon carboxymethylation.
