Mango powder and other freeze dried products

Mango (mangifera indica. L) is the most important fruit of asia And its total production currently ranks fifth among the major Fruit crops, world wide, after banana and plantains. The Nutritional importance of mango is mainly due to its b-carotene Content, which ranges from 800- 13000mg/100g of mango depending On the cultivars. India is also one of the largest producers and Consumers of dry mango powder. Andhra pradesh and uttar pradesh Are one of the major states to produce mango powder. Mango powder Is a dried spice, extensively used for its taste and flavor in Different cuisines . It is obtained by drying unripe mangoes and Then grinding them finely into a powder. Such practices in indian Villages are useful to reduce future losses of ripen mango after Huge production. It is used for its tangy flavor and a slight Tropical aroma. Solar energy was available for 8 to 9 months in A year with average 7-8 sunshine hours. The average solar energy Ranged between 450-500 cal/cm2-day. The average lowest Temperature was 150c and average highest temperature was 350c. The use of solar technology has often been suggested for the Dried fruit industry both to reduce energy costs and economically Speed up drying which would be beneficial to final quality. The Only alternative available is solar drying, which is most Important techniques of food preservation. To reduce the Processing losses during the drying and to retain the quality of Dried product, it is necessary to dry such fruit in the close Chamber which preventing product from dust, insect, larva, birds And animal.
