**9. Tamarind juice concentrate**

Tamarind concentrate is an acid pulp concentrate made from tamarind pulp that is free of skin, seed, fibers, and other impurities. The pulp from the tamarind pods is collected, and the juice is extracted from the pulp. The shells are broken by hand and agitated in water during the pulping process. The suggested tamarind pulp content in syrup is 20–24% to make a beverage with a distinct flavor and acidity [13]. By adding gelatine to clarified tamarind juice, the structural and colloidal phases are fully eliminated. The juice is translucent and retains its color and flavor. Under vacuum, insoluble particles are removed and soluble extracts are concentrated (**Figure 12**).

Deepika [14] studied Spray Drying of Tamarind Juice Concentrate and Powder Characteristics, the results are shown in **Table 5**.
