Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the seed coat to kernel ratio and Tamarind Kernel Powder (TKP) outturn in different agro-climatic zones viz., Northwestern zone, Cauvery-delta zone, Southern zone, Western zone and North-eastern zone of Tamil Nadu, India. Among the five agro-climatic zones, the kernel (Endosperm) content was maximum (82.48%) in Northwestern zone and minimum (69.94%) in Cauvery-delta zone and vice versa in seed coat content. The kernel was pulverised and it was subjected for tamarind kernel powder outturn (TKP). The tamarind kernel powder (TKP) outturn was exhibited highest in Northwestern zone (80.42%) and lowest in Cauvery-delta zone (62.68%). On concluding the study, the Northwestern zone bestow maximum in kernel content in seed and tamarind kernel powder outturn, so hence it can be recommended for tamarind kernel powder yield in seed raised plantation.
