PROCESSING FOR VALUE ADDTION
NEXT
Processing converts perishable fruits and vegetables into stable products with longer life. Processing
for value addition
Main purpose of processing is to minimize the qualitative and quantitative deterioration of the produce after harvest.
NEXT

Introduction
It is not merely to satisfy producers and processors by way of higher monitory return but also with better taste and nutrition.
In the current scenario, there is an urgent need to increase the level of value addition and to improve the quality of value added food products for domestic and export market.
Processing for value addition
Processing may be primary, secondary and tertiary.
NEXT
end Previous
Value is added to the produce by changing their form, colour to increase the shelf life of perishables.
Introduction
Prevention of self decomposition of food.

Produce is exposed to radioisotopes (gamma rays or X-rays) by a machine, which produces a high-energy electron beam. This helps in:
Processing for value additionInhibiting sprouting in tubers, bulbs and root crops.

Irradiation
Previous
Delaying the processes of ripening and senescence in certain climacteric fruits
Controlling the growth of pathogens, which cause decay in stored fruits by combination with hot water dip treatments.
Disinfestations of insects, which cause spoilage in fresh fruits, dry fruits and nuts as well as quarantine restrictions in their international trade, and
Delaying stem elongation and cap opening in button mushrooms.
Carbonation is a process to dissolve carbon dioxide in the juice or beverages under certain pressure and temperature Processing
for value addition
It provides anaerobic environment and does not allow the growth of mould and yeast.

Carbonation
Previous
Carbonated drinks gives off gas in fine bubbles and has a characteristic pungent taste of desired beverages.
It increases the life of the product and also contributes in some way to its tang.

Jams, Jellies, Preserves, Marmalades, and Candies, Crystallized or Glazed fruits and citrus peels are the some example which are to be preserved by high sugar and acid.

Preservation by high sugar and acid
Previous
Fruit jam
CLASS I preservatives are - Common salt, sugar, dextrose, spices, vinegar or acetic acid, honey. Processing
for value addition
NEXT
end Previous
CLASS II - preservatives are generally synthetic chemicals used in small quantities. Benzoic acid and its salts, sulphur dioxide and the salts of sulphurous acid.
Potassium metabisulphite is generally used in non-coloured products whereas in coloured products containing anthocyanin pigment, sodium benzoate is used.
Addition of chemical preservatives
The decomposition of carbohydrates by microorganisms or enzymes is called fermentation.

Fermentation may produce distinctly new food products such as fermented pickle, vinegar and alcohol by acetic, lactic and alcoholic fermentation..
The keeping quality of vinegar, fermented pickle and alcoholic beverages depend upon the presence of acetic acid, lactic acid and alcohol, respectively.
Fermentation
Pickling a process of preservation of food in common salt or in vinegar.

Spices and edible oil also may be added to the product.
Typical Indian pickles made from mango, lime, turnip, cabbage, cauliflower etc., have been popular in several countries.
Pickling
High pressure with 4000-9000 bars extends refrigerated produce shelf life from two months to six months at 4oC.

High hydrostatic pressures
Hurdle Technology processing is a combination of processing technique in which several technological approaches and unit operations are used. Processing

For instance, the techniques like freezing, refrigeration, dehydration, irradiation, pulse electric fields, high pressure processing, ultra-sanitation, chemical preservatives, pH and water activity controls are used in a synergistic fashion to bring about desired microbiological safety and sensory acceptability.
Convenience, safety, microbiological stability and fresh-like appearance are qualities of HT products.

Fruits and vegetables are perishable in nature.
Processing for value addition
end Previous
Processing converts them into stable products.
Various methods of preservation viz. physical methods, chemical methods, fermentation, and other means are used.
Let Us Sum Up
Preservation is based on the principles of:
- Prevention of microbial decomposition of foods,
- Prevention of self decomposition of food and
- Prevention of damage caused by insect-pests, rodents, birds, human being and mechanical causes etc.
Various processed products viz. juices and beverages, pulps and concentrates, canned products, frozen, dehydrated products, ketchup, sauces, pickles, chutneys, jam, jelly, preserved products, candy, glazed fruits and citrus peels etc. can be produced from fruits and vegetables.
