Manufacturing of Powder

The Juice is further cleaned by centrifuging then active carbon treatment again centrifugation. The cleaned Juice is concentrated with OR without additives as required to a desired volume. For Spray drying two stages drying is employed first drying to 30% solids under water ring vacuum 700 mm - 710 Hg. and second drying at 760 mm of Hg or 0.1 mm of Hg both at reduced temperatures. For freeze drying the second stage drying is yet prolonged to get 55-60% solid and freeze dried at -40' to -1 80' C in totally oxygen and bacteria free plant, specially approved for frozen dry food. The dried materials are ground and packed under nitrogen atmospheres, mechanically to avoid contamination or other errors. The products are analyzed for quality and contamination at every stage to give guaranteed supply as per specifications.
