A BRIEF LOOK AT GUAVA PULP PRODUCTION:
1st-Sorting:
Guavas are sorted before placed for washing.
1st-Washing:
Fully ripened, firm and sound Guavas are first washed in washer for elimination of mud, leaves and other foreign particles.
2nd-Sorting:
After washing Guavas are again sorted on the sorting conveyor where decayed parts are trimmed off with the sharp knives.
2nd-Washing:
Sorted Guavas then pass through a brusher, where rotating nylon brushes remove all external impurities and at the same time shower washing makes Guavas perfectly clean.
Chopping:
By means of an elevator, Guavas are fed into the chopper to prepare a creamy mesh.
Thermo-Break:
Heat treatment is given to the pulp to soften the tissues, minimize microbial load & enzymatic activities.
Refining:
The pulp is transferred to the super creamers where it is passed first through refiner and then super refiner to separate the seed and other particles, giving it a very fine homogeneous creamy texture.
Deairation:
The refined pulp is then fed into the mixing tanks and transferred to the Deairator for the removal of air.
Sterilization:
The pulp is then treated with thermal-shock in the Sterilizer where almost all the microorganisms get killed and a state of complete sterility is achieved. Following the application of heat the product is immediately cooled down to prevent any kind of browning reactions.
Aseptic Filling:
The cool and sterilized Guava pulp now enters in to the highly sophisticated aseptic filler where it is filled in 210 kg 4 layer aseptic bag packed in steel drum.
APPLE - CONCENTRATES
Concentrated apple juice prepared by concentrating unfermented juice of clear, mature, sound apples or apple parts.
A BRIEF LOOK AT APPLE CONCENTRATE PRODUCTION:
1st-Sorting:
Apples are sorted before putting for washing.
1st-Washing:
Fully ripened, firm and sound apples are first washed in washer for elimination of mud, leaves and other foreign particles.
2nd-Sorting:
After washing, apples are again sorted on the sorting conveyor where decayed parts are trimmed off with the sharp knives.
2nd-Washing:
Sorted apples then pass through a brusher, where rotating nylon brushes remove all external impurities and at the same time shower washing makes Apple perfectly clean.
Milling:
By means of an elevator, apples are fed into the milling tank to prepare mesh.
Pre-Heating:
Heat treatment is given to the mesh to facilitate juice extraction.
Belt Press:
Meshed pulp is then pressed for juice extraction.
Pasturization:
Heat treatment is given to the mesh to minimize microbial load & control enzymatic activities.
Calrification:
This process is done for the removal of Pectin and starch from the mesh.
Vaccum Filteration:
Calified juice is filtered for any particle present.
Ultra Filtration:
Micro particles are removed to obtain highly calrified apple juice.
Evaporation:
This is done for the removal of water content from the juice to get concentrate.
Deairation:
The concentrate is transferred to the deairator for the removal of air.
Sterilization:
The concentrate is then treated with thermal-shock in the Sterilizer where almost all the microorganisms get killed and a state of complete sterility is achieved. Following the application of heat, the product is immediately cooled down to prevent any kind of browning reactions.
Aseptic Filling:
The cool and sterilized Apple concentrate now enters in to the highly sophisticated aseptic filler where it is filled in 270 kg 2 layer aseptic bag packed in steel drum.
