It has been suggested that the pectic substance from the tamarind seeds is a mucilage. It may be pointed out that there is not much resemblance between the two substances either in essential chemical composition or in characteristic physical properties; mucilages are not known to form any acid-sugar jellies. Gums, mucilages and pectins cannot be readily distinguished from a study of their chemical composition alone; physical properties go a long way in differentiating one group from the other.
