Beschreibung
India is a largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world. Fruits and vegetables are highly perishable in nature. Most of the losses are due do inadequate storage and handling facilities results in losses in the order of 35 to 40% of the total production. One of the primary goals of fruit processing is to convert the perishable fresh fruits into more stable products, there by reducing post harvest losses. The production of fruit purees is an interesting way reducing such losses. Food packaging is one of the main factors to prevent quality deterioration and facilitates distribution and marketing. The food industry involves a lot of packaging materials and causes solid waste problem. Therefore, a small reduction in the amount of packaging materials will reduce environmental concerns
