Brief Description

Description :

The proposed technology deals with development of shelf stable, preservative free natural Jamun product (Jamun strips) prepared from Jamun fruits. Process involves pulping, controlled drying, hygienic packaging and sanitation by gamma radiation treatment. Shelf-life of the product is 5 months under ambient storage conditions which ensures its availability beyond the seasons across domestic & international markets. Uniqueness of this product lies in the fact that it is completely natural, chemical preservative free, easy to chew, retains typical flavor of Jamun fruits and is convenient healthy choice. The developed technology provides a promising solution to the post-harvest losses of Jamun fruits and could provide benefits to all the stakeholders including farmers and entrepreneurs involved in Jamun trade.
