Natural foods such as fruits and vegetables are among the most important foods of mankind as they are not only nutritive but are also indispensable of the maintenance of the health. India is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world. Fertile soils, a dry climate, clean water and abundant sunlight help the hard working farmers to produce a bountiful harvest. Although there are many similarities between fruits and vegetables, there is one important difference that affects the way that these two types of crop are processed like fruits are more acidic than vegetables. Food processing is the set of methods and techniques used to transform raw ingredients into food or to transform food into other forms for consumption. Food processing typically takes clean, harvested crops or butchered animal products and uses these to produce attractive, marketable and often long shelf-life food products. Canning is a method of preserving food in which the food is processed and sealed in an airtight container. Food preservation is the process of treating and handling food to stop or greatly slow down spoilage (loss of quality, edibility or nutritive value) caused or accelerated by micro organisms. One of the oldest methods of food preservation is by drying, which reduces water activity sufficiently to prevent or delay bacterial growth. Drying also reduces weight, making food more portable. Freezing is also one of the most commonly used processes commercially and domestically for preserving a very wide range of food including prepared food stuffs which would not have required freezing in their unprepared state. Fruits and vegetable processing in India is almost equally divided between the organized and unorganized sector, with the organized sector holding 48% of the share. The present book covers the processing techniques of various types of fruits, vegetables and other food products. This book also contains photographs of equipments and machineries used in fruits, vegetables and food processing along with canning and preservation. This book is an invaluable resource for new entrepreneurs, food technologists, industrialists etc.

Fruits and vegetables are processed into a variety of products such as juices and concentrates, pulp, canned and dehydrated products, jams and jellies, pickles and chutneys etc. The extent of processing of fruits and vegetables varies from one country to another. The technology for preservation also varies with type of products and targeted market. Owing to the perishable nature of the fresh produce, international trade in vegetables is mostly confined to the processed forms. India is the second largest producer of fruits & vegetables in the world with an annual production of million tonnes. It accounts for about 15 per cent of the world’s production of vegetables. Due to the short shelf life of these crops, as much as 30-35% of fruits and vegetables perish during harvest, storage, grading, transport, packaging and distribution. Hence, there is a need for processing technology of fruits and vegetables to cater the domestic demand. The major contents of the book are procedures for fruit and vegetable preservation, chemical preservation of foods, food preservation by fermentation, preservation by drying, canning fruits, syrups and brines for canning, fruit beverages, fermented beverages, jams, jellies and marmalades, tomato products, chutneys, sauces and pickles, vegetables preparation for processing, vegetable juices, sauces and soups, vegetable dehydration, freezing of vegetables etc. The book also contains sample plant layout and photographs of machinery with supplier’s contact details. A total guide to manufacturing and entrepreneurial success in one of today's most food processing industry. This book is one-stop guide to one of the fastest growing sectors of the food processing industry, where opportunities abound for manufacturers, retailers, and entrepreneurs. This is the only complete handbook on the commercial production of food processing products. It serves up a feast of how-to information, from concept to purchasing equipment.

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.

खाद्य प्रसंस्करण उद्योग का मतलब खाने की वस्तुओं की प्रोसेसिंग कर उसे नए रूप में पेश करने के कारोबार से है। भारत में लोगों की तेजी से बदलती लाइफ स्टाइल ने खाद्य प्रसंस्कृत उत्पादों की मांग में लगातार बढ़ोतरी की है । ऐसे में कारोबारी इस क्षेत्र में कम निवेश और बेहतर कारोबारी सहायता के जरिए एक नया मुकाम बना सकते हैं, जिसके लिए खाद्य प्रसंस्करण उद्योग मंत्रालय कई सारी योजनाएं चला रहा है। इसके तहत नई इकाई लगाने, मौजूदा इकाई का आधुनिकीकरण करने, तकनीकी सहायता आदि के लिए सहायता मिल रही है। भारत के खाद्य प्रसंस्करण उद्योग क्षेत्र में प्रसंस्कृत खाद्य के उत्पादन और निर्यात की पर्याप्त संभावनाएँ हैं। खाद्य बाजार लगभग 10.1 लाख करोड़ रुपये का है, जिसमें खाद्य प्रसंस्करण उद्योग का हिस्सा 53% अर्थात 5.3 लाख करोड़ रुपये का है। नौकरी के लिए सुबह-शाम की भागमभाग, ट्रैफिक और तमाम तरह की अन्य आपाधापी से भरी दिनचर्या के बीच किसे फुर्सत है कि खाना तसल्ली से रोजाना बनाया और खाया जाये। इसका समाधान इंस्टेंट एवं प्रोसेस्ड अथवा रेडी टू ईट पैक्ड फ़ूड के रूप में देश-विदेश में देखा जा सकता है। पहले खानपान की ऐसी आदतें सिर्फ पश्चिमी देशों तक ही सीमित थीं पर आज भारत जैसे विकासशील देशों में भी बड़े पैमाने पर यह प्रचलन आम होता जा रहा है। इसी बदलाव का नतीजा है कि वैश्विक स्तर पर प्रोसेस्ड फ़ूड इंडस्ट्री का कारोबार निरंतर गति से बढ़ रहा है। भारत में खाद्य प्रसंस्करण कम्पनियों के लिए प्रचुर संभावनाएँ हैं। खाद्य प्रसंस्करण उद्योग के विभिन्न उत्पादों की मांग तेजी से बढ़ रही है। इसका कारण भारत के लोगों की प्रतिव्यक्ति आय में वृद्धि होना है, जिसके फलस्वरूप वे उत्कृष्ट गुणवत्ता वाले खाद्य पदार्थों पर खर्च करने की स्थिति में हैं। भारतीय खाद्य प्रसंस्करण उद्योग उत्पादन, खपत, निर्यात और विकास संभावना की दृष्टि से विश्व में सबसे बड़ा उद्योग है। उपभोक्ता की बढ़ती सम्पन्नता ने खाद्य प्रसंस्करण क्षेत्र में विविधिकरण के लिए नए अवसर खोल दिए हैं और विकास के नए मार्ग खोल दिए हैं। प्रसंस्कृत और सुविधाजनक खाद्य की मांग शहरीकरण, जीवन शैली में बदलाव और लोगों की भोजन की आदत में परिवर्ततन के कारण स्थायी रूप से बढ़ रही है। तदनुसार भारतीय उपभोक्ता को नए उच्च गुणवत्ता वाले खाद्य उत्पाद परोसे जा रहे हैं जिसका निर्माण अत्याधुनिक प्रौद्योगिकी का उपयोग करके किया गया है। इस पुस्तक में विभिन्न उद्योगों की जानकारी तथा Cost Estimation (Capacity, Working Capital, Rate of Return, Break Even Point, Cost of Project) को शामिल किया गया है, जैसे: बेकरी उद्योग, रेडी-टू- ईट फूड, बेवरेजेज, खाद्यान्नों की पिसाई यूनिट, खाद्य तेल से संबंधित उद्योग, फल और सब्जी की पैकेजिंग उद्योग, डेयरी, बीयर एवं एल्कोहोलिक पेय पदार्थ, दुग्ध एवं दुग्ध-निर्मित उत्पाद, अनाज प्रसंस्करण, उपभोक्ता खाद्य वस्तुएँ ; अर्थात् कन्फेक्शनरी, चॉकलेट और कोको उत्पाद, सोया-निर्मित उत्पाद, पानी बोतल प्लांट, उच्च प्रोटीनयुक्त खाद्य पदार्थ, सॉफ्ट ड्रिंक, खाने और पकाने के लिए तैयार उत्पाद, नमकीन, स्नैक्स, चिप्स, बिस्कुट, नूडल्स और इंस्टेंट नूडल्स, एडिबल नट्स प्रसंस्करण और पैकेजिंग, ज़र्दा, पान मसाला उद्योग, डायबिटिक फूड और मसाला उद्योग आदि । Sample Plant Layout and Photographs of Plant and Machinery with Suppliers Contact Details भी दिए गए है । कौन सा उद्योग मेरे लिए अच्छा रहेगा ? यह सवाल हर उद्यमी के ज़हन में रहता है, कितनी लागत लगेगी? क्या मुनाफा होगा? कितना माल बनेगा? इस पुस्तक में 178 फ़ूड प्रोजेक्ट्स का विवरण दिया गया है। जो उद्योग चुनने में काफी मददगार होगा । अपना स्वयं का उद्योग स्थापित करें और राष्ट्र की उन्नति में भागीदार बने । इस पुस्तक की मदद से उद्यमी को फूड प्रोसेसिंग सेक्टर में सही उद्योग के चयन में सहायता मिलेगी । यह पुस्तक उद्यमियों, एंटरप्रेन्योर, कृषिविदों, कृषि विश्वविद्यालयों, खाद्य तकनीशियनों और खाद्य उत्पादों के निर्माण के क्षेत्र में रुचि रखने वाले अन्य लोगों के लिए उपयोगी साबित होगी ।
