CASSIA TORA SPLIT
Cassia Tora SPLIT
Cassia tora splits generally contain galactose and mannose units. Along with carrageenan and xanthan, these splits form a gel and acts like thickeners. These splits are emulsifiable in hot water. Cattle food products include this cassia splits, for example in dog, cow, cat foods, etc. Cassia obtusifolia is a Leguminosae family plant, and with the seeds of this plant, cassia tora splits are derived. The name ‘Obtusifolia’ is generated from two Latin words, they are ‘obtuse’ which means blunt, and ‘folium,’ which means leaf. This particular plant is a once-a-year plant and is grown right after the monsoon season of India. The term Cassia split is the term derived when cassia seeds are divided into two parts. These cassia tora seeds are cylindrical seeds obtained from the pods (which are usually of 20 cm) of cassia obtusifolia plant. These cassia splits are recognized by many alternative names such as Senna splits, cassia torea splits, and cassia Senna splits. Before the seeds split into two, they are differentiated based on their size with the help of grading machines. This procedure is necessary as it helps to remove the undeveloped seeds and it also helps to reduce the seeds that are C.occidentalis to 0.05%. With the assistance of thermos-mechanical processing along with screening and milling of endosperm, the seeds are dehusked and de-germed. Endosperm and germ are to be separated from each other. With the help of polishing, heating, sieving, and grinding, the splits are dehusked.
