FRUIT PROCESSING

PRODUCT & USES :

Preservation of fruit in one form or the other has been practiced in all part of
the world from time immemorial. However the industry got real fillip around
1930 in India. The processing industry has been of great help in overcoming
regional and seasonal gluts and scarcities, and in stabilizing prices. Also,
fruits and vegetables produced anywhere can now be made available all over
the world in or out of seasons.
The main causative agents of spoilage of fruit and vegetables are bacteria,
moulds, yeast all certain enzymes. The preservation technique aims at partial
or completed destruction of these agents. The causative agents may be
inactivated to their growth and activities. The causative agents may be
inactivated by freezing the food at low temperatures (-17 to 0120 0c.), or by
completely destroyed by heating at high temperature (100 – 120 0c).

MARKET POTENTIALITY : -
At present 15 Micro unit are producing Jam, Jelly Pickles and marketed
locally. Most of the units are in home scale and without F.P.O. quality
standard. The consumption of Jam, Jelly and Pickles are increasing due to
urbanization of families.

The consumption of Jam & Jelly and pickles is around 5 kg. & 2.0 kg.
Annually considering an average family size of 6 numbers in urban
household area.

Fruit processing industries in NER is not fully organized most of the units
are Home scale unit without FPO quality specification due to which they
have to sale their product locally. By over coming these constrains, a few
good units in semi-urban area or in town area with infrastructure facilities
for processing fruit and few micro half processing fruits home scale units
may come-up as a sub-sectors to support to these units and to utilize
available resources during season times. This type of half process unit will
come with a minimum investment of Rs. 10,000/- to Rs. 20,000/- and they
may earn Rs. 1,500/- to Rs. 4,000/- depend on their value addition materials.

The demand from such product generate from three sector :

Army & Defence.
Hotel, Catering services and Airlines.
Civilians.
Besides, there is export potentialities. The export can be formulated by
APEDA (Agro Product Food Export Development Authority).

ABSTRACT OF GUIDELINES FOR GRANTING LICNECE UNDER

THE E.P.O. (1995)

Abstract of guidelines regarding grant of fruit products order licence for the
manufacture of products. It is informed that there are five categories of
licence under fruit products order-1955, depending upon the annual
production in metric tones. The details of the different categories are given
below :-

Sl. Categories Minimum Minimum Optimu Annual Annual

Depending upon the anticipated annual production entrepreneur may select a

building that satisfies the area and height requirements for the relevant
category of the licence ensuring that building is :
Of permanent structure with RCC, TIN SHEETS OR ASBESTOS
ROOFING
Well lighted and ventilated.
Independent with independent approach from the main road. It shall have no
direct communication with residential portion.
Located in a clean and hygienic place with surroundings clean and open free

intended to be licensed shall also be arranged.

After arranging a suitable building, the entrepreneur may send a sketch of

the building showing the dimensions viz. length, breadth, and height of all
the rooms in meters furnishing the following information.
The different types of fruit products proposed to manufacture with their
anticipated annual production level in metric tones.

The type of construction of the building and nature of surroundings.

The source of water proposed to be used in the manufacture of fruit products
with water reports.

List of machineries and equipments :

Further action in the matter will be initiated after the receipt of above
information. Licence shall not be granted unless the premises is ready in all
respects, inspected and approved.

MULTI FRUIT JUICE PRODUCT

Indian Scenario :
Since withdrawal of excise duty on fruit and vegetable products there has
been significant rise in the growth rate of the industry. The sector has
registered a production growth of 13% overall, exports have been increasing
continuously and pur at US$ 250.5million.

The total investment approved so far exceeds Rs. 4309 crores (US$ 1.19
billion), out of which foreign investment is Rs. 788 crores (US $ 218.8
million).

Investment Potential in Fruit Processing :

The country’s share in the world trade of processed fruits is still less than
one percent. As such, abundant investment opportunities are there in the
expanding domestic market and export arena. An increasing acceptance of
new products with market development efforts is seen.

Changes in export-import policies and exchange rate adjustments have

helped improving the export potential.

There is a good international demand for certain fresh fruits as well as

processed fruits products. Fresh fruits identified as having good export
potential are : Mango, Banana, Lichee and exotics like Passion fruit, grown
in this area.

Policies and Regulations :

Though no industrial license is required for setting up F & VP industries,
setting-up 100% EOUs requires specific Govt. approvals.

This sector is regulated by the Fruit Products Order, 1955 (FPO), issued
under the Essential Commodities Act. The Ministry of Food Processing
Industries administers this order. The order lays down product specifications
and quality control requirements on production-hygiene, relabeling and
marketing of processed fruit product.

All processing units are required to obtain a license under this order.
Periodic inspection of units is also carried out. In addition, consignments of
fruit products intended for export are subject to pre-shipment inspection
under the FPO. Many F&VP industries are eligible for automatic approval of
foreign technology agreement and up to 51% foreign equity participation.
These include : tomatoes, mushrooms, fruit, fruit-peel, fruit jellies,
marmalades, fruit juices, etc.
Market
The present industry is fragmented by different operation sizes as follows :
• Home Scale 44%
• Cottage Scale 17%
• Small Scale 16%
• Relabeller 14%
• Large Scale 9%

It is very difficult to estimate the actual and potential market size of this
product category. However, there is a latent demand of around 10 crores
litters of natural fruit juice which is much more than current consumption/
supply level of around 3 crores litters, both organized and unorganized
sectors taken together.

Further, the per capital consumption in India is estimated to around 25 ml

against 45 litters in Germany, 42.5 litters in Switzerland and 39 litters in
USA. Market analysts expect a growth rate of 20% per annum and hence the
industry offers a significant opportunity.

Fresh and processed fruits have been identified as a thrust area for export
too. In view of the above, it appears that there is a good scope for the
proposed fruit processing industry in Manipur.

Category of fruit juice

Fruit juice can be categorized as :
• Tropical
• Citrus
• Fresh/ Cellular
• Temperate
• Re-constituted

Tropical fruit juice

• Pineapple
• Passion fruit
• Mango
• Guava
• Papaya
• Tomato
The quality and flavour of the extracted juices depend on ripeness,
processing and storage conditions. They are susceptible to degradation
during thermal processing and require capture and recovery of volatiles
during the evaporation stage, in order to maintain high quality.
Citrus fruit juice
• Orange
• Lime
• Lemon
• Grapefruit

The quality and flavour of the extracted juices depend on ripeness,

processing and storage conditions. Essential oil content of citrus fruit is
important in maintaining the typical flavour profile of the juice. However,
excessive oil content can give objectionable off-flavours. The behaviour
of each juice component must therefore be considered in developing the
correct process parameters for a high quality product.

Fresh and Cellular Fruit Juice

The world fruit juice market has become much more competitive in
recent years and in most developed countries, there is a plentiful supply
of fruit juice concentrate. The market for reconstituted orange, apple and
pineapple juice in particular has become very competitive.

Major fruit processors therefore with to produce fruit juices, which are of
such a high quality that the product can be readily differentiated from
cheaper counterparts. To meet this demand, there is a growing trend
toward the production of “not-from-concentrate” (NFC) juices since
these are perceived to be of better quality than reconstituted juices.

In the US, production of NFC orange juice has grown to 30% of the total
production within five years and, despite the high cost of transportation,
this trend is being repeated in Europe. Similarly new opportunities are
arising for NFC juice containing cells and fibre processed from wide
range of freshly squeezed and cellular fruit juices.

Temperate fruit juice

Temperate fruit juices includes :
• Apples
 • Pears
• Grapes
• Berries
• Peaches
• Plums
• Apricots

These temperate area fruit are processed using similar process equipment,
but each has particular characteristics, which affect the exact method of
extraction and thermal treatment. Most of these fruits contain pectin, which
needs to be removed in order to produce a clear and product.

Re-constituted Juices and Nectars

Most fruit juice has traditionally been distributed from the growing region as
a concentrate to save on transportation costs. The concentrate is then diluted
with water close to the point of sale, pasteurized, and re-packaged.

Nectars are obtained by the addition of water and sugar to fruit juice, fruit
juice concentrate, fruit puree or a mixture of these. Fruits suitable for nectar
production includes :
• Apricot
• Peach
• Pear
• Mango
• Guava
• Apple
• Citrus juices

Process
• The farm arrived fruit are first washed than sorted for inspection.
From inspection conveyor the fruit is passed on to fruit mill for
crushing and than to hydraulic press for juice extraction.
• Extracted juice is than filtered through press filter and again sent to
centrifuge for clarification.
• The clarified fruit juice is concentrated in evaporation plant.
• The concentrated juice is sterilized in plate heat exchanger by
heating.
• The sterilized juice in the hot condition is aseptically packed in
aseptic bags by aseptic filling packing machine.

ORANGE SQUASH, MIXED FRUIT JAM/ JELLY

AND TOMATO SAUSE PROJECT

Introduction

The consumption of the products like mixed fruits jam and orange jam/
marmalade is gaining popularity day by day owing to the growing change in
the food habits and increased consumption of bread and other convenient
snack foods.
As regards fruit squash, it finds wide consumption as fruit drink. India is, by
and large, a tropical country where the habit of taking soft drinks is pretty
high.

Among the established brands in the jam/ marmalade/ squash segment,

Druk, Kissan, Dipy’s, Tims & Sil are the prominent names. Besides, there
are number of units in the small-scale sector scattered across the country
producing the said products.

The proposed products to be manufactured by the proposed unit have a

steady demand spread all over India. The estimated present demand for
‘Jam/Squash/Syrup’ and ‘Sauce/Puree/Ketchup’ in Eastern and N.E. India
are 5400 MT and 7798 MT respectively. Besides, there is demand from other
regions also. Thus, as such, there will be no problem for the proposed unit to
market its products.

Investment scenario
Since withdrawal of excise duty on fruit and vegetable products there has
been significant rise in the growth of the industry. The sector has registered
a production growth of 13% overall, exports have been increasing
continuously and are put at US$ 250.5 million.

The total investment approved so far exceeds Rs. 4309 crores (US $ 1.19
billion), out of which foreign investment is Rs. 788 crores (US $ 218.8
million).

Investment Potential in Fruit Processing :

The country’s share in the world trade of processed fruits is still less than
one percent. As such, abundant investment opportunities are there in the
expanding domestic market and export arena. An increasing acceptance of
new products with market development efforts is seen.

Changes in export-import policies and exchange rate adjustments have

helped improving the export potential. There is a good international demand
for certain fresh fruits as well as processed fruits products.
Policies and Regulations :

Though no industrial licence is required for setting up Fruit & Vegetable

Processing (F& VP) industries, setting-up 10% EOUs requires specific Govt.
approvals.

This sector is regulated by the Fruit Products Order, 1955 (FPO), issued
under the Essential Commodities Act. The Ministry of Food Processing
Industries administers this order. The order lays down product specifications
and quality control requirements on production-hygiene, a labeling and
marketing of processed fruit product.
All processing units are required to obtain a licence under this order.
Periodic inspections of units are also carried out. In addition, consignments
of fruit products intended for export are subject to pre-shipment inspection
under the FPO. Many F&VP industries are eligible for automatic approval of
foreign technology agreement and up to 51% foreign equity participation.
These include; tomatoes, mushrooms, fruit, nuts, fruit-peel, fruit jellies,
marmalades, fruit juices, etc.

Promotional Agencies and Assistance :

The Ministry of Food Processing Industries provides, assistance to the sector
through several plan-schemes, viz : schemes for creating infrastructure,
development of backward linkages, R&D and training etc. There are some
other organizations like APEDA, SFAC and NHB, which help in arranging
inputs, marketing, export etc.

Technology- The proposed manufacturing activity does not call for import of
technology. However, CFTRI, Mysore may be contacted for technical know-
how.

Process
Squash
The fruits (orange & others like passion/ peach/ berry) are carefully sorted/
selected according to quality. The fruits are then washed with sprayed water
to remove unwanted elements. After washing, the fruits are again inspected.
The oranges are peeled. The peeled oranges are put to juice extractor for
extraction of juice. Juice is collected in stainless steel tanks and fed into
strainer where suspended coarse materials are removed. The juice is then
centrifuged in stainless steel centrifuge. The juice is diluted to required
concentration to which sugar and citric acid are added. Necessary flavours,
permitted colour and preservative are also added to it to form squash which
 is subsequently filled in glass bottles, sealed, labeled and packed in cartons
for dispatch.

Jam/ Marmalade
The pulp produced after extraction of juice is boiled along with sugar and
citric acid at a controlled temperature. Upon boiling required permitted
colours, flavours and preservatives are added. It is then cooled to required
temperature and forms a jelly like consistency. The jam thus obtained is
filled in bottles, sealed, labeled and packed in cartons for dispatch.

Tomato Sauce
Fully ripe selected tomatoes are washed at first and then sliced. It is heated
and passed through pulper to produce pulp followed by sieving. The liquid
pulp is boiled/ cooked with various ingredients (ground spice, garlic, onion
etc. as per formulation) followed by addition of sugar, salt, acetic acid/
vinegar, chemicals etc. Sodium Benzoate is generally added before the
product is filled into washed bottles, sealed, labeled and packed in cartons
for dispatch.

Proposed capacity
The unit will operate on two-shift basis per day for 250 days per annum. The
unit will have the flexibility to process nearly 500 Kgs. each of Orange and
mix fruit per shift, depending on the availability. The profile is based on
processing of orange for 00 days, mixed fruits for 25 days and Tomato for 60
days.

The production and product-mix at different capacity utilization per annum

will be as follows :

Item Installed 1st year 2nd year onward

Capacity Production Production @

Total 180 126 144
 Raw material
The major raw materials and consumables required for production of orange
squash, marmalade, mixed fruits squash/ jam and tomato sauce are matured/
ripe orange.

Sugar citric acid, preservatives, colours, chemicals, salts, spices etc. are also
required for production of the said items. The products will be packed in
glass bottles/jars and finally in cartons. All these fruits are available within
the State, NER and other parts of the country and may be procured from
different producing centers in different seasons. The average cost of fruits
has been taken considering the seasonal fluctuation in price. All other
consumable items can easily be procured from the local dealers/ open
market.
