CIPHET stall attracting visitors at IITF 2010

New Delhi, November 21:



The stall of the Central Institute of Post Harvest Engineering and

Technology (CIPHET), Ludhiana, is witnessing a huge turn out of

visitors in the India International Trade Fair (IITF) 2010 going on at

Pargati Maidan, New Delhi, in response to food processing technologies

especially ready to eat vegetable blended meat products developed by

the institute.



"This time lot visitors are showing interest in ready-to-eat vegetable

blended meat products, the processing technology recently developed by

the CIPHET," said, Pradeep Kumar of CIPHET. "Not only people from

rural and scientific background, but people from urban background are

also visiting in substantial number to see technologies developed by

the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR)\", said Technical

Officer M.P Singh.



Notably, CIPHET has recently standardized the technology of

ready-to-eat blended meat products, which could be produced by using

vegetables and meat products. This will not only help in cost

reduction, but would provide low fat alternative to consumers.



CIPHET is also displaying both Pomegranate Aril Extractor (PME) hand

held and mechanically operated. While hand held PME is useful for

separating pomegranate at small scale, mechanically PME is useful for

extracting arils at commercial scale. Any size and variety of

pomegranate could be processed with extraction capacity of 90 to 94

percent. Mechanical damage to arils is reported as less as 3 to 4

percent during processing Similarly, Banana Cob Cutter is also on the

display. This is simple but effective device to separate bananas.



Dr R.T Patil, CIPHET Director and Dr Deepak Raj Rai, Head of Transfer

of Technology, said that this time they were also providing schedule

of training programmes offered by CIPHET to visitors. "After joining

training they would be equipped to set up their own processing units,"

they added. Entrepreneurs trained by CIPHET including Bachittar Singh

Garcha and Kailash Chowdhary are also displaying their products in the

trade fair , which would continue till November 28.
