Juice Processing Presentation

Juice Processing Presentation

Juice processing

• Can be divided into
• Processing using mechanical power
• Processing mainly using enzymes
• Both processing systems are available and
  used in Uganda

3
Juice Processing

• Difference
• Mechanical requires higher investments and higher
  power consumption
• Enzyme treatment implies additional operational
  costs for using enzymes
• Enzyme treatment results in higher yields.
  Different enzymes or enzyme cocktails can be
  utilized, up to liquifacting enzymes, that
  theoretically can result in very high yields
• Enzymes can change taste slightly, which does not
  automatically imply the quality is lower.

4
Juice processing

• Since both processes are available in Uganda I
  dont intent to mention too much about it except
  give some ideas about products that I did not
  find at the Ugandan market yet.

5
Juices

• I have seen pasteurized and sterilized juices.
  Even fresh juices squeezed in a supermarket with
  just three days shelf-life.
• What I did not see are industrially made fresh
  juices with three days shelf life, e.g. packed in
  3 l cans or bottles for use at home
• Nor did I see flash pasteurized fresh juices with
  a shelf-life of about 10 days for better
  logistics, but with the taste of fresh juice.
  Also packed in e.g. 3 l cans or bottles.
• Required investment flash pasteurisation
  equipment with cooling and aseptic filling or
  with hot filling.

6
Flash pasteurization

• Gas pasteurizer and plate heat exchanger with
  automatic temperature control for preserving
  fruit and vegetable juice.

7
Filling

• Hot filling of fruit and vegetable juice in 0.25
  5 l bottles/cans

8
PULP

• Just an idea, because pulp processing is
  well-known in Uganda
• How about fruit bars and dices?Would there be a
  market?

9
Fruit bars and dices

• One recipe to show the idea
• Mango Pulp (48.8),Apple Juice
  Concentrate(32.5),Apple Pulp(16.3),Apple
  Fiber,Lemon Juice and
• Thickener(Pectin).
• Also sugar can be added
• Processing
• Mix, sheet, dry, cut, pack withoptional freezing
  before drying

• Can be cut into e.g.
• Bars
• Sticks
• Bits
• And combined with e.g. nut pieces if desired

Fruit bars, sticks or bits

Combination

• Would it be thinkable, in the future, to have a
  professional pineapple/fruit processing plant
  where fruit is dried and the remaining fruit in
  the peel and, if applicable, around the stone is
  pulped and used to process juices or bars?
