MAJOR RESEARCH ACHIEVEMENTS  

  • Work on preparation & utilization of β-carotene rich vegetable powders (carrot and pumpkin powder) in baked products was carried out. The bread & buns containing 15%, Cakes containing 20% and biscuits containing 10% of these powders were found acceptable.
  • Tomato and carrot up to 30% could be added in guava jelly preparation for improving colour and texture.
  • Microwave dehydrated mushrooms proved better than sundrying and fluidized bed drying with respect to colour, rehydration ratio and Organoleptic quality of the product.
  • Aonla and Petha pricking machines were developed by the centre in collaboration with the Deptt. of Agri. Processing & Energy. 
  • Shelf life of minimally processed peas and carrots was assessed. Peas and carrots can be stored up to one month at low temperature (4oC), whereas at room temperature storage life is only up to one week.
  • Inter-mediate moisture mango slices were developed from variety Totapuri and Safeda. Recovery of IMF of Totapuri was higher and quality was also better from variety Safeda. 
  • Technology for processing of different beverages i.e. RTS, nectar, squash from Ber and  Bael was standardized. Bael RTS having 10% pulp, 14% TSS and 0.;28% acidity, nectar with 20% pulp, 15% TSS and 0.25% acidity and squash with 35% pulp, 45% TSS and 1.2% acidity was the best combination.
  • Method for preservation of candy and juice from carrot was standardized. Carrot juice preserved with pH 3.5 and TSS 12% was best for preservation in bottles which have a shelf life for more than six months.
  • Underutilized fruit such as Kachri was used for development of value added products viz. chutney (dry & wet) fruit spread, dehydrated slices and pickle. All the processed products where acceptable and evaluated for their nutritional arid keeping quality.   
  • Jamun products viz. ready-to-serve drink, nectar, crush, syrup, jam and chutney were developed and evaluated for quality and sensory attributes. Recipes for the above products were standardized. It was found that anthocyanin pigments decreased in the jamun products with the increase in storage period.
  • Aonla juice was detannified using different sources of proteins at different concentrations. Protein treatment removed the tannins and phenolic compounds differentially with higher concentration of proteins. More tannins were removed as compared to phenols. Aonla juice was heat processed at 70 to 90o C. High retention of Vitamin-C was observed with high temperature short time combination with almost no detectable yeast and molds counts. Carrot and kinnow juice improved the sensory characteristics of the blend. 
  • The dehydrated potato slices were prepared from cv. Kufri Chandramukhi,. Pulse electric field treatments (2KV, 4 KV and 6 KV for 15s) were given to the potato slices pretreated with treated with various solutions. The best treatment was 0.25% KMS + 2KV-15s in terms of higher drying rate, rehydration ratio, lesser non-enzymatic browning and organoleptic quality. There were no significant differences in total reducing sugars, total phenols and starch contents among various pretreatments. 
  • Enhancement of shelf life of guava (variety L-49) was undertaken by keeping the fruit at different MA regimes and storing them at room temperature. Shelf life of fruits packed under vacuum was the most effective regime followed by packing in 100% N2 and 5-6% O2 conditions. 
  • Effect of pre-cooling of ber fruits was evaluated by dipping in water at 10oC for 5,10,15 minutes and stored at RT. Pre-cooling for 10 minutes was most effective in improving shelf life.
  • Functional value of kulfi can be enhanced by incorporation of probiotic cultures L. acidophilic at the rate of 107 & 108 cfu/g. These probiolic cultures helps in maintaining the beneficial microflora in the intestine and decrease the population of pathogenic micro flora.
  • Technology standardized for blending of rice bran oil with other vegetable oils i.e. Palm, mustard, olive groundnut, Olive and groundnut oils resulted in improved oil quality having desired ratio of saturated Fatty Acids making it ideal for human consumption.
  • Ready to serve whey based vegetable soups were developed. Tomato-mushroom soup was preferred without whey whereas tomato with whey soup was liked most among all other preparations. 
  • Ready to serve beverages and squash were developed by blending bael and guava fruit pulp. It improved the taste and nutritive value of drink.
  • Nutritional quality of sugarcane juice was compared by blending 5% aonla juice. 
  • Work on minimally processed vegetables was carried out. Initially vegetables like okra, tinda and carrots were minimally processed which improved the shelf life of fresh vegetables by 5-10 days at room temperature.  
  • Quality of dehydrated vegetables was improved in terms of green colour retention and rehydration ratio. Peas and okra was dried by blending in water containing 0.5% KMS and 0.1% NaHCO3 whereas green chillies were dried after blanching in water containing 0.5% and 1% ZnSO4. 
  • Ready-to-Cook Rajmash-Tomato Mix was prepared from presoaked and boiled rajmash in tomato filling solutions-juice, puree and sauce followed by pasteurization. The product was stored at room temperature for 2 months. All the three variants were found to be acceptable in terms of protein content, tyrosine value, ascorbic acid, acidity, lycopene content, organoleptic value and cooking quality. However, the optimum texture was found to decrease during storage period observed by increasing hardness of rajmash preserved in tomato sauce followed by juice and puree. Microbiological studies showed stability of the product for more than 2 months. 
  • An acceptable beverage was prepared from bottle gourd juice blended with lemon and orange juice supplemented with salts, sugars and spices. Fresh blend consisting of bottle gourd and lemon juice (3%) was highly found to be highly acceptable. Storage temperature of 5oC was found to be better than 15oC, where the product spoiled fast. 
  • Twenty six varieties of wheat were evaluated for physical chemical, functional and farinographic characteristics & biscuit making quality. 
  • Process for preparation of instant Halwa mix and Upma mix was standardized. The prepared products can be reconstituted in 3 and 7 minutes using 1:1.25 and 1:2.5 (Mix: water) ratio, respectively. 
  • The process for the preservation of shelf stable chapaties and paronthas was standardized. The shelf life of developed chapatti and parontha is upto 2 weeks at RT. 
  • Barley var, BCU 73 & BS 393 proved better var than BH 75 for Sattu quality. Technology for preparation of better quality sattu was standardized.

  • Ready-to-eat extruded snacks were prepared by blending defatted soy flour with wheat, pearl millet and maize. Wheat and maize based extrusion cooked products proved better than those from pearl millet base. 
  • Process for preparation of low fat cake, muffins and biscuits were standardized with use of different hydrocolloids. 40% fat could be reduced in these baked products with use of hydrocolloids in the formulation. 
  • The process for high fibre sweet and sweet and salty biscuits was standardized. Acceptable biscuits can be prepared by incorporation of 40-50% wheat bran, 20% carrot pomace powder, 10% chickpea husk; 10% isabgol or 2% gum.
  • The process for preparation of value added low fat- high fibre biscuits was also standardized. 50% fat can be reduced in the recipe with use of carbohydrate based fat replacers. Biscuits with 50% less fat and double dietary fibre were acceptable. 
  • Broken rice can be utilized for the preparation of value added pasta and baked products. 20% rice flour can be utilized for preparation of biscuit and cake whereas upto 30% for preparation of noodles, macroni and pastas. 
  • Bael which has a great medicinal value was preserved in the form of pulp, jam, fruit slab and toffee. The products have good shelf life and convenience in use.  Instant rajmash were developed. Dehydrated rajmash took 10 to 12 minutes for cooking as against 50 minutes to 1 hour in unprocessed rajmash. Similarly, instant cooking chickpea and cowpea have also been developed.
  • The process for preparation of shelf stable carrot halwa (Gazraula) was standardized using combination methods of preservation. Carrot halwa was acceptable even after 90 days of storage. 
  • Work on preparation of value added organic biscuits was carried out. The process for preparation of organic biscuits containing bran, carrot powder and brahmi was standardized. Organic biscuits containing 30% bran+2% brahmi and 15% carrot powder & 21% brahmi were acceptable.
  • The process for the preparation of value added Pasta and ready-to-eat extruded snacks was standardized with the use of various levels of carrot pomace, bottle gourd pomace and guar gum. Eight wheat varieties were evaluated for physico-chemical and porridge making quality. The process for preparation of instant porridge and value added porridge were standardized. 
  • Process has been standardized to reduce fat content of traditional fried snacks, viz samosa, matar, gujia, suhali, pakora & sev.  The results indicate that 25-50% fat in these fried snacks can be reduced with use of various hydrocolloids without  adversely affecting the physical & sensory characteristics of the snacks. 
  • Efficiency of domestic churner was evaluated. It was observed that churning of curd at 27-28oC with addition of 2.5 kg water in 4 litre of incubated milk producted butter of good texture. Churner with 8.5 cm impeller diameter with 4 blades and operated at 1400 rpm speed was found best.

Pricking machines

Aonla and petha candies are popular traditional products prepared by process involving osmo dehydration. To facilitate water and sugar transfer in osmotically processed products like aonla candy/muraba and ash gourd candy (petha) pricking is required.  It is done manually in such industries.   It is an unhygienic labour intensive process.  The workers are prone to serious injuries during this process.  This manual unit operation has restricted the scale of such industries. The Centre has developed machines for pricking of aonla and petha which can greatly accelerate the process.  The product can be pricked hygienically with minimum manual contact and safe for the workers avoiding injury.
