MP GOKYO FOOD&CHEMICAL CO.,LTD List of Products and Services

We have been considering the use of tamarind seed gum, which has been imported for food and cosmetic applications, in the industrial sector. Tamarind seed gum has long been used as a food additive for thickening sauces, dressings, and gravies, stabilizing ice crystals in frozen desserts, and preventing water separation in frozen foods. Our company has developed tamarind seed gum as a film. The tamarind seed gum film made from food additives is, of course, an edible film, so it can be used not only for food applications but also has been found to possess oxygen barrier properties. We have added a heat sealant made from food materials for its use as an edible packaging material. This makes it possible to consider it as an alternative to petroleum-based films. **Features of Tamarind Seed Gum Film** - Edible. - Water-resistant. - Oil-resistant and has oxygen barrier properties (equivalent to EVOH). - Usable as edible packaging material (available in grades with heat sealant applied). - Gas barrier properties (equivalent to EVOH). - Biodegradable film. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

The giant evergreen tree "Tamarind" inhabits subtropical and tropical regions. Our company focused on the polysaccharide components abundantly contained in tamarind seeds and successfully industrialized tamarind seed gum for the first time in the world in 1964. The tamarind seeds used as raw materials are a byproduct generated when the fruit is processed for consumption. Tamarind gum is an upcycled product created by grinding and refining these seeds. In light of recent environmental initiatives, we aim to leverage our expertise in developing thickening polysaccharides to introduce tamarind seed gum composite materials across various industries and fields. 【Product Features】 - By applying and drying a coating liquid, it is possible to form a gas barrier coating or film that excels in the balance of strength and elongation. - By coating paper, it is possible to impart gas barrier properties while maintaining the strength and flexibility of the base paper. 【Expected Applications】 - Gas barrier coatings - Packaging films, paper packaging materials - Hygiene materials - Edible films - Heat sealants - Gas barrier coatings - Food coatings And more. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Tamarind seed gum composites possess the biodegradability of CNF and the edible characteristics of tamarind gum. Utilizing these features, applications as edible inks and paper coatings, as well as edible films and biodegradable sheets, are expected. In light of recent environmental initiatives, we aim to leverage our expertise in developing thickening polysaccharides to introduce tamarind seed gum composites across various industries. 【Features of Tamarind Seed Gum】 - Anionic polysaccharides derived from tamarind seeds - Main chain composed of glucose, with side chains of xylose and galactose - Molecular weight of approximately 470,000 - Excellent heat and acid resistance - Film-forming properties - Gas barrier properties - Upcycled raw material and edible - Biodegradable material *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

MP Five Co., Ltd. has been importing tamarind gum for food and cosmetics for many years and is now considering the use of tamarind gum in the industrial sector to realize an "environmentally friendly society." Tamarind gum composite materials possess the biodegradability of CNF and the edible characteristics of tamarind gum. Utilizing these features, applications such as edible inks and paper coatings as coating liquids, as well as edible films and biodegradable sheets, are expected. In light of recent environmental initiatives, we aim to leverage our strength in the development of thickening polysaccharides to introduce tamarind gum composite materials across various industries. **Features of Tamarind Seed Gum** - Anionic polysaccharides derived from tamarind seeds - Main chain consists of glucose, with side chains of xylose and galactose - Molecular weight of approximately 470,000 - Excellent heat and acid resistance - Film-forming properties - Gas barrier properties (equivalent to EVOH) - Upcycled raw material and edible - Biodegradable material *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

MP Five Co. sells tamarind gum, the main component of tamarind gum composite materials, widely for food applications (thickeners, stabilizers, gelling agents, etc.) and cosmetic applications (moisturizers, etc.). This time, as a result of examining tamarind gum for industrial applications, we discovered that it has an oxygen gas permeability rate equivalent to EVOH. Utilizing this feature, it can be expected to serve as a gas barrier coating liquid for paper and film, as well as a gas barrier film, potentially replacing EVOH, and being used in edible films and biodegradable sheets. Amid the recent movements towards environmental sustainability, we aim to leverage our development technology for thickening polysaccharides, introducing tamarind gum composite materials across various fields, regardless of industry. **Features of Tamarind Seed Gum** - Non-ionic polysaccharides derived from tamarind seeds - Main chain composed of glucose, with side chains of xylose and galactose - Food applications (thickeners, stabilizers, gelling agents, etc.) - Cosmetic applications (moisturizers, etc.) - Excellent heat and acid resistance - Film-forming properties - Gas barrier properties (equivalent to EVOH) - Upcycled raw material and edible - Biodegradable material *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

We will be exhibiting at the "Upcycle Technology Exhibition 2024" held at the Osaka Industry Creation Center. This year marks the 60th anniversary of our company, which has been selling tamarind seed gum, a plant seed polysaccharide made from upcycled materials, under the product name "Glyroid." At this exhibition, we will showcase a new application of tamarind seed gum: the "Tamarind Seed Gum Composite Coating Liquid." Utilizing our expertise in the development of thickening polysaccharides, we aim to introduce tamarind seed gum across various industries and fields. We invite you to visit us at this opportunity. We look forward to seeing you. 【Exhibits】 ■ Tamarind Seed Gum Powder ■ Tamarind Seed Gum Composite Coating Liquid (SC-2309, 2401) ■ Tamarind Seed Gum Film Samples ■ <Reference> Edible IJ Printed Tamarind Seed Gum Film Samples ■ <Developed Product> Tamarind Seed Gum Resin 【Event Overview】 ■ Date: December 13, 2024 (Friday) 10:30 AM - 4:00 PM *Free entry and exit ■ Venue: Osaka Industry Creation Center, 3rd Floor ■ Address: 1-4-5 Honmachi, Chuo Ward, Osaka City, 541-0053
