A small, continuous power operated machine with a capacity of 132 kg/h was designed, fabricated and evaluated its performance for separation of annatto (Bixa orellana L.) seeds from freshly harvested pods. Physical and engineering parameters of annatto pods and seeds were evaluated to design a machine. The densities of pod, seed, and husk are 134.7 to 186.0 kg/m 3 , 1206 to 1253.9 kg/m 3 , 317 to 381.4 kg/m 3 respectively. The moisture content of seeds were in the range 18.83 -20.1 % (db) and pod 8 to 10 % (db). Bixin content of seed was in the range 1.34 to 1.765 %. The friction angle for pod, seed, and husk lies between angle 30.15°to 35.76°. Breaking force was 98 N at a span of 14.5 mm. The machine consisted of concentric cylinders and beaters with different pitch of 40, 45 and 50 mm and a length of shaft is 800 mm. The actual machine output was observed to be 132.5 kg/h. Maximum bixin content was found to be retained at 300 rpm.
Mangoes are most widely used in cuisine. The Soil requirement for cultivation of Mango tree is a hardy perennial and evergreen tree and it can be grown on a wide range of soils. Value added product such as Milk Shakes can be obtained from fresh pulp of Mango which acts as an excellent source of Vitamin-A and flavonoids. Similar to that high quality Tomato product can be prepared from tomato pulp by using uniformly ripened, red colour tomato. Thus Tomato is nutritious and mostly eaten as processed fruit. So the importance of Climatic Fruit in food industries for the manufacturing of value added Product has received great attention. So the objective of present study is to analyse the composition of mango and tomato and to develop the pulp, and also to know its shelf life which favour the health benefits.
Green pods of French beans CV. pant Anupam were blended with distilled water, filtered and extract pH was adjusted to 5.25,5.65, 5.85,6.25 or 6.65 using 20 I citric acid or 1 N NaOH. Thermal inactivation times
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
