Production Capacity : 250 tpa  

Uploaded on : March 2009


Product and its Applications

Apart from staple foods, people like spicy adjuncts to make the food palatable and relishing. Pickles are good appetizers and digestive agents. There are several varieties of pickles which are consumed throughout the year. In this context, pickle, a spicy preparation, has gained importance in Indian menu. Preparation of pickles is an old art and a variety of these products are made in Indian homes. The basic principle of pickling is curing of fruits and vegetables by salting, acidifying, addition of vinegar and/or oil and spices. Pickle making is a time consuming process. Often the cost of glass bottle & oil works out more than the cost of actual pickle. A new technology has been developed for making instant pickle mix, which can be converted into a palatable pickle at home by simple addition of water and oil. Thus instant pickle is likely to become popular and acceptable due to various reasons e.g. better shelf life, possibility for addition of extra spices at the users end, relatively low cost of production, convenience in handling and reduction in volume of packaging and low transportation cost. Several varieties of dry pickle mix can be developed by using dehydrated mango, lime (lemon), green chillies, tomatoes, carrots, different types of leaves.

Technical aspects


Location

The unit can be set up in oilseed producing regions or near the consumption centres. However, availability of power and road connectivity should be ensured.


Salient Features of Process / Technology

The seeds are cleaned to remove dust, dirt and foreign particles. These are cured to bring the moisture level of 10-12% and passed through oil expeller. The oil cake is conveyed automatically and pressed to achieve maximum oil recovery, which is about 35% depending upon he variety and quality of seed. The oil is filtered and filled into 1 kg Pet bottles or 16 kg tins.


Quality Control and Standards
