Food processing is a way or technique that is used to convert raw foods into well-cooked and well preserved eatables for both humans and animals. Food processing uses raw, clean, harvested crops or slaughtered and butchered animals and turns these into food products for daily consumption. A number of products are nutritious, easy to cook and have a long shelf life. They are packed in an attractive manner and are highly marketable.

The food processing industry plays a vital role in the economy of any country because it links agriculture to industry. The food processing industry is responsible for diversification of agriculture, improvement of value-added opportunities, and creation of excess that can be exported. The food processing industry of India is one of the largest in the world in terms of manufacture, use, export, and development. The sector has immense potential to contribute to growth and employment opportunities of the country. 

Rapid globalization and development of economy has taken a toll on the lives of consumers, particularly those residing in urban areas. Employment growth and increased work pressure in organizations leaves consumers with little time for personal care. Additionally, more product offerings by food companies and marketing on a large scale has altered people’s appetite- they demand more and more processed food items every day. These are some of the reasons for the steady growth of food processing industry in India in the past few years. Some of the biggest companies making their presence felt in the Indian market are Unilever, Dabur, Nestle, Nissin, Cadbury’s, Kelloggs’, Godrej, ITC, Britannia, Kohinoor Foods Ltd., Mother Dairy, Pepsico India, Marico Ltd, Patanjali, MTR Foods etc.

Food processing industry is of enormous significance for any country's development because with the changing lifestyle, there has been a consistent increase in preference and demand for packaged foods amongst the population. These can be seen as a great opportunity by the packaging companies. The agricultural strength amalgamated with a various other factors like competent market price and favorable government policies have further aggrandized the food packaging sector.

SOY FLOUR & MILK

Soy beans are rich in proteins and are extensively used in

many food items in several far East and East Asian

countries since many decades. Today Madhya Pradesh is the

highest producer of soya bean. Bulk of the production of soya

beans are used for extraction of oil but other products like

soya milk, paneer, flour, curd etc. are also becoming popular,

as soya beans are high in proteins, low in fat and easy to

digest.

 

Soy proteins are available on the market in the form of

defatted flours, protein concentrate, protein isolate but

seldom as whole flour, which includes the seed oil with all

its vitamin E, phospholipids, and micro nutrients intact,

essential compounds that are rarely found in regular daily

diets. By refining soybean oil, essential micro nutrients are

eliminated extracted soybeans oil is separated from

phospholipids (lecithin) through the degumming process

and, in the deodorization process, part of the vitamin E is

also lost.

 

As soybean flour, when defatted, is very rich in protein

(50 %), its consumption alone is not recommended, since a

balanced food must contain approximately 2 - 3 g of protein

for every 100 calories. Whole soybean flour, however, is a

more balancer meal than defatted flour because oil has a

calorific value 2.2 times higher than sugar or other

carbohydrates.

Soymilk is a water extract of whole soybeans. It is an offwhite

emulsion/suspension containing the water soluble

proteins and carbohydrates, and most of the oil of the

soybeans. Soymilk has been produced traditionally in China,

and to a lesser extent elsewhere in East Asia, but was never

a predominant element in the popular diet.            

 

Physical Characteristics & Chemical Composition of the

Soybean

The shape of the soybean seed varies from almost

spherical to elongated and flat. The industrial varieties grown

for oil are nearly spherical while the elongated varieties are

the ones used as a vegetable. The color of the seed may be

yellow, green, brown or black. Industrial varieties are yellow

and the presence of seeds of other colors in a lot is considered

a defect. Seed size is expressed as the number of seeds per

unit volume or weight. Industrial soybeans weigh 18-20

grams per 100 beans. The seeds of “vegetable” varieties are

considerably larger.

Chemical Composition

The composition of soybeans may vary somewhat

according to variety and growing conditions. Through plant

breeding it has been possible to obtain protein levels between

40% and 45%, and lipid levels between 18% and 20%.

Usually, an increase of 1% in protein content is accompanied

by a decrease of 0.5% in oil. Incidentally, this negative

correlation between protein and oil is one of the reasons for

the lack of interest in high-protein varieties, since the

production of these varieties does not result in increased

income per hectare cultivated.

 

Uses

Soya bean flour is used in many products and has several

uses and is considered to be a health food. With increasing

awareness about health, there is a distinct shift towards soya

products including its flour. Its use as supplement in wheat

flour is increasing substantially in many households.

Its applications are many fold and is used in meat

products, cereal flour, ready-to-eat products, prepared

instant mixes, baby foods, confectionaries, special diet food,

high protein soups, protein concentrates, food additives,

bakeries etc. Thus, there is a vast growing market. Many

individual households have also started mixing a small

proportion of soya flour as a supplement in wheat flour.  

SACCHARIN

Saccharin is an artificial sweetener that is 300 times

sweeter than sugar. It is considered a no-calorie

sweetener because it has fewer than 5 calories per usual

serving. By 1907, saccharin was used as a replacement for

sugar in foods for diabetics. Since it is not metabolized in the

body for energy, saccharin is classified as a noncaloric

sweetener. By the 1960s it was used on a massive scale in

the “diet” soft drink industry. Saccharin is the foundation

for many low-calorie and sugar-free products around the

world. It is used in table top sweeteners, baked goods, jams,

chewing gum, canned fruit, candy, dessert toppings and salad

dressings.

Saccharin has been used as a substitute for sugar as a

sweetening agent for about ninety years. Its use was initially

limited to those unable to tolerate sugar in their diet, but

its consumption has recently been greatly increased by the

rising popularity of low-calorie foods and beverages.

Although other artificial sweeteners have been developed

and marketed, doubts have been raised as to their safety,

and saccharine has retained a dominant position in the

market. Saccharin and its salts have been used in a variety

of beverages, foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Its

primary function is to provide sweetness without adding

calories, and it is used in the following foods and beverages:

soft drinks, fruit juices, other beverages and other beverage

bases or mixes; table-top sweeteners in tablet, powder or

liquid form; processed fruits, chewing-gum and confections;

gelatine desserts, jams and toppings; and sauces and

dressings. Lesser amounts of saccharin are used in a variety

of non-food applications, as a nickel electroplating

brightener, chemical intermediate, animal feed sweetener

and anaerobic adhesive accelerator.

 

Uses in Foods and Other Products

Saccharin is used in a wide variety of foods, including

juices, jellies, chewing gum, beverages, canned fruit, salad

dressings, dessert toppings, candy, jams and baked goods.

It’s also used in non-food products, such as mouthwash,

toothpaste, lipstick, pill coatings and vitamins.

 

EDIBLE CORN OIL

Crude corn oil has a dark reddish amber color. Even after

refining, it is considerably darker than many other vegetable

oils. By applying strong bleaching treatments, however, it can

be lightened to a golden yellow color. This oil, unless subjected

to stringent deodorization action, retains the strong taste and

odor characteristics of the original corn kernel. The unrefined

oil contains relatively large amounts of phosphatides and

other non oil substances (often in excess of 2%) and its free

fatty acid content (usually above 1.5%) is higher than that

found in most vegetable oils.

The refined oil contains small amounts of waxes, which

cause a precipitate or “cloud” to form in oil held at refrigerator

temperatures unless the wax is selectively removed by a

process called winterization. The keeping quality of refined

corn oil is fairly good. The crude oil, however, is rapidly

hydrolyzed unless processing proceeds without delay. Such

degradation is hastened when the oil remains in the presence

of corn meal impurities.

Raw material for the corn oil is the maize grains originated

in Western hemisphere. Generally it is cultivated in the

America, India, and Columbus etc. Its name in European

countries is corn to distinguish from the cereals. It contains

the mainly bran, germ and endosperm. The bran 6% germ

12% and Endosperm 83%. The main composition of the maize

is:

         

INSTANT NOODLES

Many fast food items have flooded the markets but

noodles have emerged as the most popular item as it is

cheaper, very easy to make and nutritious. Urban and semiurban

markets are controlled by Maggi and other players are

Top Ramen and other brands. Instant noodles are mostly fried

noodles which are made of flour, water, alkaline salt and other

additives. The consumption of instant noodles is global due

to their characteristics such as convenience to eat, easy to

mass-produce, widely acceptable taste, preferred texture and

affordable prices. Instant noodles are dried or precooked

noodles fused with oil, and often sold with a packet of

flavoring. Dried noodles are usually eaten after being cooked

or soaked in boiling water for 2 to 5 minutes, while precooked

noodles can be reheated, or eaten straight from the packet.

 

Instant noodles are commonly sold in either a

polyethylene bag or in a Styrofoam cup or bowl with a peel

back aluminium cover. Cup instant noodles have very thin

strands to facilitate rapid rehydration and are readily served

after pouring hot water into the cup and resting for 1-2

minutes. Bag-types of instant noodles generally have medium

thickness and are square or round strands in shape.

 

CANDY

Confectionery products are universally popular among the

young and the older generations alike. With increased

access to better machinery, openness among customers to

newer tastes and flavors and affordability of required raw

materials, the confectionery industry is thriving like never

before. Candy or Sweet is the most popular type of confectionery

over the world, and there is certainly something about

this unique product that holds many mysterious qualities.

Generally candies are available in fruit based flavors or Milk

based flavor and sometimes with centre filling also. While

we often think about candy as a food for children, we all know

that adults love this delicious food as well.

There are different types of candies that are produced

today in the world. the range of candies available in today’s

market include such treats as soft and tender golden

caramels, elegant truffles and fudges, chewy licorice,

sumptuous chocolates, mouthwatering toffee and hard

candy, as well as nougats, rolls, jelly beans and gum drops.

A natural milk candy, composed mainly of milk powder, and

rich calcium and other nutrients. The milk candy represents

a great in-between meal dietary snack. It can be flavored with

chocolate, coffee and other natural flavors.

Uses of Candy

• Candy is usually liked by all age groups of people as a

confectionery

• Candies are used after meal, dinners as smooth

refresher. It drives away bad smell from mouth and

refreshes the breath. Some times it causes good

sensation while chewing.

• It is chewed by children, young people, young girls,

yound ladies etc. But mostly it is consumed by children’s

of age group below ten.

 

CORN FLAKES

 Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day

as it replenishes our body’s energy after an all-night fast.

Corn Flakes are made from corn and are in addition fortified

with vitamins and iron. Corn flakes being one of most

nutritious foods and is consumed as breakfast food not only

in India but-elsewhere in the world. Corn flakes are food made

by combining corn with sugar, vitamins and minerals to make

them as nutritious as possible. Maize is one of the important

commercial food-grains grown abundantly in our country.

Maize provides invaluable substances, which act as nutrients

and these substances are very necessary for balance of

human diet. The various substances are proteins,

carbohydrates, starch, fat and water, proteins, carbohydrates

and starch are main nutrients of maize.

In India and many other corn flakes are mostly taken in

breakfast. Mostly it is taken with milk though it can be had

in many other ways also depending one’s taste. As a breakfast

meal, corn flakes are soaked in milk and then taken. It is

very quick meal and acts as apetizer also. Now a days people

don’t like to have chapattis or paranthas in all the four meals

which they have been having for long. Corn flakes is good

substitute for such people.

Uses and Applications

Corn Flakes are used mainly as breakfast food along with

milk. They are also used for making any delicious food by

cooking. It is also being given to patients, since it contains

carbohydrates, protein and starch. This food acts as a

stimulant for patients.

Corn flakes are mainly consumed by upper strata of

society, in hotels, hospitals, nursing homes etc. It is

economical, convenient, nutritious and flavourful food

suitable for daily consumption.

People getting modernized they need some sophistication

in their food also the need of which fulfilled by corn

flakes. The per capita consumption of corn flakes has

increased many times as compared to last decade.

EXTRUDED FOOD (KURKURE TYPE)

It is a variety of ready to eat crisp namkeen known for its

particular taste. Kurkure type extruded products are

becoming popular day by day due to change in the food habits

and convenience to use. It is a cereal (Rice, Corn and Pulses)

based convenience food with oil /fat and good source of

energy. It is being used in homes, restaurants, parties’ etc.

by almost every section of the society because of its less cost

and easy availability. Its snack smart initiative to cut out

trans-fat from its products by using rice bran oil which cuts

saturated fat by 40 per cent.

This aspect coupled with changing life styles has opened

up many new markets in many sectors including the food

processing sector. Last few years have witnessed a remarkable

change in preferences and spending habits especially of

the younger generation and youth. Extruded puffed snacks

are primarily targeted at this segment of the population. These

products find various applications like tea time snacks, as

munching during ceremonies or parties, during picnics or

outings or simply as fun products. Hence with proper publicity,

adequate placement to ensure easy availability and attractive

Raw Materials Required

JAM & JELLY

Jams and jellies are made from a variety of fruits, either

singly or in combination. Most of the fruits are harvested

in the fall. The level of ripeness varies. Pears, peaches, apricots,

strawberries, and raspberries gel best if picked slightly

underripe. Plums and cherries are best if picked when just

ripe. Most jam and jelly producers develop close relationships

with their growers in order to ensure quality.

Jam is a product containing both soluble and insoluble

fruit constituents Jam and jelly are made from fruits and they

are being made since long in different forms. Jam & jelly are

made from fruits, fruit pulps or extracts. Jam is boiled fruit

pulp with sugar and preservatives and is thick. Jelly is also

made by boiling but is clear, sparkling and transparent. These

products are applied to some snacks or bread. They are also

used in making certain desserts. Jam & jelly are used in

homes as well as restaurants and other eateries. They enjoy

substantial shelf life and thus can be made available round

the year. These products can be produced in many states of

the country.

All contain the four essential ingredients needed to make

a jellied fruit product–fruit, pectin, acid and sugar. They differ,

however, depending upon fruit used, proportion of different

ingredients, method of preparation and density of the fruit

pulp. Jam is made from crushed or ground fruit. The end

product is less firm than jelly, but still holds its shape.

Essential Ingredients

Pectin is a natural plant substance that causes fruit to

gel. Fruits such as apples, crabapples, currants, grapes and

some plums contain enough natural pectin to form a gel;

others require added pectin. Follow the manufacturer’s

directions or tested recipes for each type of pectin.

Acid is needed for gel formation and flavor. The amount

of acid in fruits also varies with the fruit and degree of

ripeness. When using low-acid fruits in recipes without

commercial pectin, add 1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1/8

teaspoon citric acid for each cup of fruit.

Sugar helps form the gel, serves as a preserving agent,

firms the fruit and adds flavor. Beet or cane sugar can

be used. Brown sugar, sorghum and molasses are not recommended

because of their strong flavor and varying degree

of sweetness. Light corn syrup or mild honey can be

substituted for part of the sugar using recipes that specify

honey or corn syrup.

SWEET SCENTED SUPARI

Supari is the dehydrated betel nut sliced for direct

consumption. It is used as mouth fresher after food. It is

North Eastern Region and are extensively used. Conversion

the extent of 80% of the cost. Scented Supari is available in

many forms, but the various constituents or the main

ingredients remain nearly the same. Scented Supari may be

mixed in tobacco, Pan Masala etc. Due to its flavouring taste

children used it very enthusiastically.

Betel nuts are consumed in large quantities across the

country. The betel (Piper betel) is the leaf of a vine belonging

properties. It is a typical Indian habit and they are eaten by

many purely as an addiction whereas some consume it

assuming that it helps the digestive system.

Despite the name “betel nut,” the substance that people

chew in many areas of the world is usually a mixture of two

plant items and lime minerals. The nut portion is the areca

nut, which comes from the palm tree Areca catechu.

Sometimes, the nut and lime is contained inside a wrapping

of leaves from the betel vine, Piper betel. In other preparations

all the ingredients are mixed together as powder.The betel

plant is an evergreen and perennial creeper, with glossy

heart-shaped leaves and white catkin.
