highest anti-oxidant propensities compared
to the pulp extracts. In the tamarind seed
extracts, the order of efficacy was 100°C/15
minutes > 60°C/6 hours > 40°C/12 hours
with FRAP value of, 659.74 ± 16.40, 658.70 ±
11.18 μmol (Fe)/g and 484.22 ± 14.45 μmol
(Fe)/g respectively.
The pulp extracted at 40°C/12 hours
and at 60°C/6 hours did not show any
significant difference when compared but
both showed significant differences
compared to pulp extracted at 100°C/15
minutes, BHT and all of the seed extracts.
BHT and the seed extracted at 60°C/6 hours
and at 100°C/15 minutes did not show any
significant difference among them but
showed significant difference to seed
extracted at 40°C/12 hours and to all of the
pulp extracts.
