Tamarind Clear - Botanical VSC Suppression Platform
Tamarind Clear utilizes Tamarindus indica extracts to reduce oral malodour by targeting bacteria responsible for volatile sulfur compound (VSC) production. Delivered through oral care products, it offers a plant-based solution for breath freshness and gum health.
Overview
Tamarind Clear presents an innovative approach to oral care by leveraging the antibacterial properties of Tamarindus indica extracts. This solution targets bacteria responsible for the production of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), which are often the root cause of oral malodour. Unlike traditional products that mask odour with flavour, Tamarind Clear actively reduces the microbial load in the oral cavity, supporting cleaner breath and improved gum health. The platform is designed for integration into daily-use products such as toothpaste, alcohol-free mouthwash, or oral gel, offering a plant-based alternative that is aligned with gum-health-led breath control.
Technical specifications
- Active Ingredient: Extracts from Tamarindus indica (fruit pulp/bark)
- Delivery Formats: Toothpaste, alcohol-free mouthwash, and oral gel
- Mechanism of Action: Inhibits periodontal anaerobes and gum-disease–associated bacteria to reduce VSC production

Technology readiness level
Currently, Tamarind Clear is at Technology Readiness Level 3. The solution has undergone initial validation of its antibacterial activity in vitro and is now progressing through stages of prototype development, breath-focused pilot studies, and sensory optimization to prepare for scale-up.
