Peda Manufacturing: Traditional Roots with Industrial Innovation

What is Peda?

Peda is a traditional Indian sweet made from khoa (evaporated milk solids) and sugar. It is often used in religious offerings and festive occasions, valued for its:

Smooth texture
Caramelized flavor
White to brown color profile

Compared to regular khoa, peda has lower moisture and added sugar, improving both taste and shelf life.

Types of Peda

Several varieties exist based on region and ingredients:

Plain peda
Kesar peda (saffron-flavored)
Chocolate peda
Elaichi (cardamom) peda

Nutritional Composition (Per 100g)

Rich in fats, proteins, carbohydrates
High caloric value, ideal for energy boost
Nutritional values vary based on:
Sugar content
Flavoring agents
Degree of desiccation

How Peda is Made: Traditional vs Industrial Methods

Method of Preparation 1. Traditional method • • • • • Prepared in batch Plain peda was generally made traditionally with the addition of cardamom powder. Prepared without any added colour and flavour. is added at a higher Sugar temperature nearly 90oC. Shaping and moulding are done manually. 2. • • • • Industrial method Either batch & continuous Various variants of peda is prepared using various flavors and color addition. Sugar added at a mild temperature of ~ 60oC. Shaping and moulding are done automatic using automatically moulders and Rheons.

Packaging & Shelf Life of Peda • Packaging 1. paper-board containers lined with parchment paper or grease-proof paper 2. plastic trays, 3. Tubs 4. polythene bags • Shelf life:- 1. 5-7 days @25oC, and 7 to 10 days @4-7oC 2. Laminates with oxygen scavenger properties increase shelf life more than typical packaging (2 months at 37˚C and 6 months at 20˚C) Build World-Class Food Factories PMG Engineering Private Limited The End-to-End Engineering Company in Food Industry info@pmg.engineering | www.pmg.engineering www.pmg.engineering info@pmg.engineering 8. Sensory characteristics of Peda I. Colour: In general White/ creamy white to brown. Depends on processing factors. II. Taste/ Flavour: Sweet & Caramelized due to Maillard/caramelization reaction. Natural flavour occurs due to cardamon III. Texture profile a. Hardness: Depends on the chemical composition of the peda, amount of sugar added, and extent of desiccating. Avg. hardness 2699 g. b. Adhesiveness/ stickiness: Depends on raw material and processing parameters, the chemical composition of the peda. Ranges from -70.15 g.s to -1.38 g.s. c. Cohesiveness: Refers to how a food product stays together after deformation. The average value was found in between 0.094 to 0.159 as reported by Banjare et al.
