Cassia tora splits

Product Description

Cassia Tora Splits  

cassia tora seeds that are usually broken into two halves and referred to as cassia splits. The seed consists of an outer husk, an endosperm (split) and the ovary or germ. Only the endosperm or split, which contains mainly polysaccharides, is used for the production of the cassia gum. Both husk and germ are removed in the de-husking and splitting process. The impact of the splitting procedure is that both husk and germ are loosened from the endosperm and made brittle by heating and can be removed in the subsequent purification procedure after pulverization. The split (endosperm), however, remains intact at these temperatures. Due to its much greater particle size, the split can be separated from husk and germ particles through a couple of physical cleaning steps. Cleaned and heated cassia tora seed is sent for crushing, milling, grinding to be endosperm and de-germed then converted into our main product Cassia Tora Split and by products Cassia Churi and Cassia Broken, which are basically used in cattle feed.
