INTRODUCTION
India is the second largest producer of fruit and vegetables in the
world. Total area under fruit and vegetable cultivation is estimated
at 12 million hectares, which is 7% of total cropped area in the
country. The commercial processing of fruit & vegetables is
approximately 2.0%. India exported processed fruits and
vegetables worth Rs. 5240 million in 1997-98.
 During 2015-16, India exported fruits and vegetables worth Rs.
8,391.41 crores which comprised of fruits worth Rs. 3,524.50
crores and vegetables worth Rs. 4,866.91 crores.

As per the latest estimates, by (CIPHET), Ludhiana, the wastage
of fresh horticultural produce is upto 18 per cent due to poor
postharvest management practices. Hardly 2 per cent of
perishable horticultural produce is processed to value added

products.
JAM
10/25/2016

.
Jam is a product made by boiling fruit pulp with sufficient
sugar to a reasonably thick consistency, firm enough to
hold the fruit tissues in position .

Apple, pear, sapota (chiku),apricot, loquat, peach,
papaya, karonda, carrot, plum, straw- berry, raspberry,
mango, tomato, grapes and muskmelon are used for
preparation of jams.
It can be prepared from one kind of fruit or from two or
more kinds .
Jam contains 0.5-0.6 per cent acid and sugar should not
be more than 40 percent and TSS 68%.

JELLY

10/25/2016
A jelly is a semi-solid product prepared by boiling a clear, strained
solution of pectin containing fruit extract, free from pulp, after the
addition of sugar and acid.
A perfect jelly should be transparent, well-set, but not too stiff, and
should have the original flavour of the fruit. It should be of attractive
colour and keep its shape when removed from the mould.
 It should be firm enough to retain a sharp edge but tender enough to
quiver when pressed.
 It should not be gummy, sticky or syrupy or have crystallized sugar.
The product should be free from dullness, with little or no syneresis
(weeping), and neither tough nor rubbery and should have TSS 65% ,
0.5 - 0.75% acid and 45% of fruit juice.

PROBLEMS IN JELLY MAKING
1. Formation of crystals :
2. Failure to set :
3. Cloudy or foggy jellies :
4. Syneresis or weeping of jelly :
(i) Addition of too much sugar
(ii) Lack of acid or pectin
(iii) Cooking below the end-point
(iv) Cooking beyond the end-point
(v) Prolonged cooking
(i) Use of non-clarified juice or extract
(ii) Use of immature fruits
(iii) Over-cooking
(iv) Over-cooling
(v) Non-removal of scum
(vi) Faulty pouring
(vii) Premature gelation
(i) Excess of acid
(ii) Insufficient pectin
(iii) Premature gelation
(iv) Fermentation

MARMALADE


1.
2.

This is a citrus fruit product prepared by cooking fruit pulp
or extract with sufficient amount of sugar and using shreds
of peel as suspended material.
Marmalades are classified into :
Jelly marmalade
Jam marmalade
The method of preparation for jam marmalade is
practically the same as that for jelly marmalade. In this
case the pectin extract of fruit is not clarified and the whole
pulp is used. Sugar is added according to the weight of
fruit, generally in the proportion of 1:1. The pulp-sugar
mixture is cooked till the TSS content reaches 65 per cent.

PROBLEMS IN MARMALADE MAKING

Browning during storage is very common which
can be prevented by addition of 0.09 g of KMS
per kg of marmalade and not using tin
containers. KMS dissolved in a small quantity of
water is added to the marmalade while it is
cooling. KMS also eliminates the possibility of
spoilage due to moulds.
