Dehydrated Garlic Powder And Tamarind Extract

Dehydrated garlic powder is made by drying garlic cloves and grinding them into a powder. Tamarind extract is a concentrated liquid made from the pulp of the tamarind fruit, which is often dried and then rehydrated and pressed to release its juice.

These ingredients are used to add a savory, pungent garlic flavor and a sweet-tart, fruity taste to foods. They are often found in spice blends, marinades, sauces, and prepared meals, particularly those with a savory or ethnic profile.

Garlic and tamarind are common food ingredients. The FDA lists garlic and tamarind as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. Both ingredients have been consumed for centuries without widespread reports of adverse effects at typical dietary levels. Scientific research has explored potential health benefits of garlic and tamarind, but more research is needed to confirm these effects. Neither JECFA nor EFSA have set numeric limits for these ingredients.
