The status of comprehensive utilizations of tamarind at home and abroad during the recent twenty years were reviewed, which pointed out that its utilizations are focused on processing and utilization of tamarind fruit flesh and extract of tamarind seed polysaccharide (TSP).

Through experiments,the factors affecting the color and harvest rate were studied,and the methods for extracting tamarind seed polysaccharide from the kernel of Tamarindus indica seed were summarized.

A study on Management Effect of Tamarindus indica Vegetation System on Degraded Eco-system of Yuanmou Dry and Hot Valley;

Effects of drought environment on water physiology of Tamarindus indica;

Structure,properties and production of tamarind gum were introduced,and its applications in food industry were summarized,for example,taken as adding viscosity stabilizer,ice crystal stabilizer,gel forming agent and quality improver,and so on.

Gugr gum,sophora bean gum,tamarind gum,flaxseed gun,arabic gum,ablmoschus manihot gum,pectin and so on are main thickeners originated from plant.

Overviewing the application of Tamarind in many fields especially in food industry and reviewed the recent development of application about Tamarind Kernel Polysaccharide in many country.

Effect of basil polysaccharide on mRNA expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases in human breast cancer cell line cultured under hypoxia;

Methods Rat model bearing NuTu-19 cells was made and the changes of biology phenotype in tumor cells were observed after treatment with Basil polysaccharide for 50 days.

Methods:20 rats bearing NuTu-19 cells were randomly divded into two groups,the drug group (n=10) were treated with basil polysaccharide for 50d,while the control group (n=10) treated with physiological saline at same dose,changes of the biology phenotype of tumor cell were observed.
