Fruit processing involves various techniques aimed at transforming fresh fruits into different products while preserving their taste, nutritional value, and extending shelf life. Jaggery is a traditional unrefined sugar product made from sugarcane juice or palm sap. The resulting jaggery is a natural sweetener, retaining more of the molasses and minerals compared to refined sugar.

ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .02-Issue .48-December 2023 FRUIT PROCESSING Introduction Fruits are a high-moisture, generally acidic food that is relatively easy to process and that offers a variety of flavour, aroma, colour, and texture to the diet. The fruit is then sealed into a jar, or in some cases, placed in a squeeze bottle. As another example, the fruit is dried and packaged, sometimes with sugar added depending on how sweet the fruit is naturally. Methods of Processing can go to make Food processing aims food more marketable and attractive to potential consumers, often giving the processed food a longer shelf-life. Fruit types of processing, including canning, drying, and juicing. Some types of processed fruit are fruit preserves, canned fruit, and fruit juices. Processed fruit is generally not as healthy as fresh, raw fruit. through numerous Washing, drying, and packaging fruit is usually not considered processing. Processing begins when the fruit is turned into something other than raw fruit by cooking or preserving it. Even if this process is as simple as cutting an apple and drying it to preserve longer raw fruit. Sometimes additives, preservatives, and sugar is added to processed fruit to make it look and taste better than it normally would when a customer finally opens the product to consume it. it, that apple is no 1. Canning Canning is defined as preservation of foods in hermetically sealed containers and usually implies in heat prevention of spoilage. Canning was invented by Nicholas Appert termed as Appertization. in 1910 so also treatment as the principal factor Preserving using a canning method involves placing food in specified canning jars that are sealed with two-piece lids. The jars are heated to a temperature harmful inactivates enzymes. This microorganisms and heating, and later cooling, forms a vacuum seal. This vacuum seal prevents further microorganisms from entering the jar and contaminating the foods during storage. destroys that After fruit is washed multiple times, the processing begins. As an example, if the fruit is to be turned into fruit preserves, it is first cooked until soft. A sugary sometimes additives and preservatives are added. syrup and Foods that are canned: • Low acid foods: Meat, fish, poultry, dairy fall into a pH range of 5.0 to 6.8. This large group is commonly referred to as the low acid group. PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES. ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION READ MORE.... Vol .02-Issue .48-December 2023 PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER • Acid foods: With pH values between 4.5 and 3.7. Fruits such as pear, oranges, apricots and tomatoes fall in this class. • High acid foods: Such as pickled products and fermented foods. The pH values range from 3.7 in this Jams and down to 2.3, also classification. Jellies are 2. Freezing Freezing is a low temperature preservation process where the product is frozen at -38 °C and stored -18 °C. Freezing is cheaper than canning and frozen products are close to fresh products and of better quality the metabolic activity and spoilage due to post harvest chemical are retarded by freezing. Through the product preserved by freezing retains their quality appreciably, the major disadvantage of the process is that the low temperature needs to be maintained during handling, storage before the product is finally consumed. transportation and Methods of freezing: i) Quick (0 to -40 0C for 30 min.) ii) Sharp (-15 to -29 0C for 3-72 h) iii) Cryogenic (-196 0C) iv) Dehydro-freeing (50 % moisture removed) IQF refers to Individual Quick Freezing of every particle/aggregate using fluidization in a stream of very cold air. Fluidization leads to high heat transfer co-efficient and therefore very rapid freezing and hence better quality. For example, freezing of green peas in an air blast freezer may take 3-4 h whereas it is only 10-12 min by IQF. This results in for better texture and there is no humb or block formation. Some of other important IQF products are frozen fruit dices and cut vegetables. • Easy, convenient and the least time consuming • Slows growth of microorganisms and chemical changes • Preserves the greatest quantity of nutrients 3. Drying FOne of the oldest methods of preserving food and its alternative to canning & freezing. It Slows down action of enzymes but doesn’t inactivate them. Factors: - The greater Surface area - The greater the faster the product dries Temperature the difference between the product and drying medium, the greater the rate of drying Humidity - The higher, the slower the drying • Atmospheric pressure - The lower, the lower the temperature required to remove water. Methods of drying: Sun drying: in Dry, warm climates Spray drying – Tray (air) drying Tunnel drying - The tunnel dryer is a machine where a container (tray) filled with the material is placed on a trolley or the material is loaded directly on the trolley, and the trolley is pushed in tunnel chamber entrance. The material is dried while being moved through the drying chamber. from the 4. Dehydration Dehydration is the removal of moisture from fruits and vegetables by artificially produced heat under controlled relative humidity and air flow. In dehydration, sufficient moisture is removed so that the product is free from spoilage; but this must be done in such a way to preserve food value as far as possible. condition of temperature, PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES.

Raw, Jaggery it concentrated sugarcane becomes solid and can be formed into blocks. It has the slight bitterness of molasses and the richness of caramel. is boiled until juice in India for (Gur) has been cultivated Jaggery (in thousands of years. Known as s´arkarã Sanskrit), it was the only sugar known to the subcontinent, even reaching as far as other parts of Asia, and Africa. Ayurvedic texts dating back to over 5,000 years mention its benefits: boosting blood purification, improving digestion, and enhancing bone and pulmonary health. It was the Portuguese who discovered the ingredient in Kerala in the late 1600s. Types of jaggery There are four other kinds not made from sugar cane, but they are unusual. 1. 2. Nolen Gur (found in Bengal – ‘nolen’ means new and ‘gur’ is the word for jaggery), is made from date palm sap; Second type is made from coconut sap. In Sri Lanka they make a kind of liquid jaggery, or treacle, from the sap of the kithul (aka jaggery palm) tree. Potential health benefits to curing constipation All kinds of health benefits are claimed for jaggery, from reducing blood pressure and everything in between; certainly, it contains useful vitamins and minerals not present in refined sugar. In Ayurvedic medicine it’s used to treat respiratory conditions. If eaten during the winter months, when the sugarcane is harvested, and it is fresh it’s claimed that eating it provides a boost to the Jaggery can be immune system. preserved into the summer but it needs to be frozen. The darker the better - The first important thing to note is that the darker it is the richer and deeper the flavour. READ MORE.... PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES.

Crushing: Two kind of crushing roller are used which is: A)Vertical crusher B) Horizontal crusher In vertical crusher the juice recovery is about 50- 55% & also the efficiency of horizontal crusher is 55-60%. These roller are driven by diesel as well as with animal in which single oxe crush about 50kg per hour & 5HP diesel increse extraction rate upto 300kg per hour. less jaggery production manufacturer use For technology & chemicals. The cane must be crushed within 24 hours other wise sugar will invert into different suger & not get solidified as per require. The recovery of sugarcane juice is about 50-60%, for more yield we require more efficient machines for crushing. 2.
