India's Food Processing Revolution: Unlocking Growth, Innovation, and Opportunities

Food processing refers to the systematic conversion of raw ingredients into edible or commercially viable food products. This process encompasses various techniques such as cleaning, sorting, cooking, canning, freezing, and packaging to enhance food safety, extend shelf life, and improve convenience for consumers. Additives and preservatives may be incorporated to maintain freshness and quality, while advanced technologies like pasteurization, dehydration, and extrusion play a crucial role in optimizing efficiency. The food processing industry is essential in meeting global food demands, ensuring food security, minimizing waste, and offering a diverse range of food products to consumers worldwide.

Influence of Processing Techniques on the Nutritional Content of Millets

Millet is a collection of small-seeded cereals and the oldest plant in the world cultivated by humans. It is one of the cereal grains that is commonly consumed, especially in the dry and semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia. It is a crop that is very nutrient-dense and contains significant levels of minerals and vitamins. Additionally, they are an excellent source of protein, energy, dietary fiber, resistant starch, and slowly digesting starch. The common reason for the limited usage of millets is an antinutritional component found in the grain. They are often processed before consumption using methods like decorticating, malting, fermenting, roasting, flaking, and grinding to eliminate antinutrients and improve their palatability, nutritional value, and sensory qualities (Saleh et al., 2013a).

Bioplastics From Microalgae

The environmental challenges generated by the consumption of plastics are huge mainly due to their long degradation. It takes almost up to 1200 years for certain plastics. The environmental challenges and the longer degradation time of conventional plastics can be solved using bioplastics. According to European Bioplastics (2021), the global market for bioplastics is expected to increase from 2.4 million tonnes to 7.6 million tonnes by 2026. Even though, bio-plastics can be produced from sources such as plants, animals or microbial biomass, microorganic sources, mainly microalgae-based bio-plastics are emerging as the highly preferred source. This is due to their ease of cultivation (growth even in polluted surroundings like wastewater), fewer nutrient demands, fast- growing nature, high productivity etc. Unlike other bioplastic sources, microalgal sources do not compromise human consumption.

Smart Product Inspection Technology Solutions for Reducing Material and Energy Costs

If we know (and we do) that a savvy move involves integrating the right product inspection systems into your production line, paving the way for substantial savings in raw materials by curbing product giveaway and minimising false rejects, let's look at an example. Step forward a flour manufacturer embracing an advanced checkweigher equipped with FlashCell™ EMFR (Electro-Magnetic Force Restoration) technology. With sophisticated algorithms, the smart checkweigher identifies excessive flour dispensing and triggers automatic corrective action. Transmitting this intel directly to filling stations makes for precise fill levels, thanks to tight tolerances and high precision load cells, leading to material savings and heightened production efficiency.

Aluminium Foil Packaging: Transforming the Global Packaging Landscape

A luminium foil packaging has established itself as a crucial component in the global packaging industry, offering unmatched versatility, durability, and efficiency in preserving food and other perishable products. Its exceptional barrier properties against moisture, oxygen, light, and volatile aromas make it an ideal choice for packaging a variety of goods, including snacks, ready-to-eat meals, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Aluminium foil is widely used in laminates, particularly when other plastic laminate materials fail to provide adequate barrier protection for maintaining shelf-life stability. Compared to aluminium-coated plastic laminates, aluminium foil laminates offer superior protection. Additionally, its application in rigid, semi-rigid, and flexible packaging for in-pack thermal processing ensures rapid heating with minimal heat damage.

The Rise of Natural Food Colors: A Comprehensive Exploration

Natural food colors are pigments derived from natural sources such as fruits, vegetables, plants, and minerals. They are widely used in the food and beverages industry by manufacturers to add color to food items or drinks. These natural food colors are available in liquid and powdered forms in the market. Food quality is evaluated on the basis of the color of the food. Food color does not always mean that the ingredients are organic, however, in a few cases, it refers to a lesser amount of ingredients used in it. The less ingredients added, the more natural the food product is. Thus, consumers demand natural and organic ingredients in food colors for a better lifestyle and to minimize the risk of diseases that are caused due to artificial food colors. Natural food colors are generally considered to be safer and healthier than synthetic food colors, which are made from chemicals. They are also more appealing to consumers who are looking for natural and clean-label products, thus creating a huge natural food colors market demand and food manufacturers are intensively capitalizing on new products development and technological advancements to cater to the demand.
