Abstract

Tamarind tree (Tamarindus indica, family: Fabaceae) is vernacularly well known as imli (Hindi) tree (Joseph et al. in Int J Green Pharm 6:270–278, 2012; Nayak in Int J Pharm Pharmaceut Sci 2:1–5, 2010). This evergreen tree is grown in almost all over India and in other Southeast Asian countries as well (Gupta et al. in Sys Rev Pharm 1:50–55, 2010; Samal and Dangi in Carbohydr Polym 102:1–7, 2014).
