**11. Conclusion**

Tamarind is a crop that can be eaten as a fruit or used as a condiment. The fruit has a delectable sour-sweet flavor. It's full of vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants. Due to increased knowledge of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and labor scarcity, mechanized tamarind processing without human intervention is expected [24]. To make tamarind processing easier, state agricultural universities developed and distributed machinery for the advantage of processors and to assure hygienic processing techniques. Tamarind can be used to produce many values added and by-products so that it fetches more market price to the producers Physicochemical, thermal, structural changes take place during value addition of tamarind. Research in these areas is carried out to optimize changes in properties.
