Note : 2
Source : Fruit-based
Food Item : Tamarind sauce
Nature Of Food : The basic formulation uses tamarind extract, modified starch, salt, caramel, sugar, pepper, garlic, MSG, sodium benzoate and acetic acid. The final product had a pH of 2.9 and soluble solid of 33° brix.

The sauce could be used as a flavouring during cooking or as a dipping sauce for seafood products as well as barbeque sauce for beef or chicken. Tamarind extract must be filtered finely to obtain a good texture and the sauces need to be heated up to 90 – 100 °C to kill off yeast, mould and other microorganism present in the raw materials. The use of hot water for extraction resulted in a more sour extract as well as a higher recovery.
