Carboxymethyl tamarind seed gum

Carboxymethyl tamarind seed gum (CAS 68647-15-4), also known as Carboxymethyl Tamarind Kernel Powder or CMT, is a chemically modified polysaccharide derived from tamarind seed.

The carboxymethylation process enhances the water solubility and rheological performance of native tamarind gum. This makes it suitable for demanding formulation and industrial processing environments.

In textile printing, CMT functions as a thickener and binder in reactive and pigment print pastes. It delivers sharp definition and consistent viscosity across high-speed printing runs.

Personal care formulators incorporate it into creams, lotions, and hair care products. It is used where controlled moisture retention and stable emulsion structure are required for the final product.

In food-grade applications, it acts as a stabilizer and thickener in sauces, dressings, and processed food systems. It ensures texture consistency and shelf stability in various culinary applications.

Paper and leather processing operations use it as a surface sizing and coating agent. This improves finish quality and substrate uniformity during the manufacturing and finishing stages.

Carboxymethyl tamarind seed gum is supplied as a fine off-white to cream powder. It is available in food-grade and technical-grade specifications to meet distinct purity requirements.

The product meets various industrial needs versus food manufacturing standards. Packaging is typically offered in 25 kg bags, with bulk options available for large-scale industrial procurement.
