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.
