There is so much spoken about spices and condiments like cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, turmeric, and tamarind, but we hardly hear about kokum. Kokum is a very good antioxidant [combats free radicals]. It is also rich in citric acid, hydroxicitric acid [HCA], malic acid, polyphenols and acetic acid.The seeds have between 23 â 25 per cent oil, which solidifies on room temperature and becomes like butterâ kokum butter, which also has healing properties.here is so much spoken about spices and condiments like cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, turmeric, and tamarind, but we hardly hear about kokum.

The activation energy diagram is drawn as a hill because there is a large amount of energy needed to form the unstable transition state (viewed as the upward slope on the diagram). The difference between this peak energy and the rectants' energy is the activation energy.
An activation energy diagram for an endothermic reaction is illustrated here. The potential energy for products is higher than the energy for reactants. The magenta curve is the reaction pathway for an uncatalyzed reaction. The cyan (blue) curve shows what a catalyst does to the energy for the reaction path.
