The National Food Processing Policy was launched to
develop the food processing sector. It aims to address
the gaps hampering the growth of the sector. Also,
the policy aims to increase the investment in the
sector by six times by 2035.
The Indian food industry is poised for huge growth, increasing
its contribution in world food trade every year. In India, the
food sector has emerged as a high-profit sector on the back of
the scope it offers for value addition, particularly with the food
processing industry getting recognized as a high-priority area

for investment in the food processing sector
and incentives provided by the Central and
State Governments were made available to
the prospective investors at a single point
The queries of the investors were received
and answered through the portal guiding
them and making it easier for them to take
decision
3 Strengthened
Grievance
Redressal System
Under the infrastructure schemes of Mega Food Parks
and cold chain, a committee of three Independent
Monitors was constituted to address the grievances of
the applicants whose proposal for Mega Food Parks
and Cold Chains could not be selected. The committee
also provides personal hearing to the applicants before
disposing of their grievances

India
The Food Map enables investor to take decision with
regard to locating their projects as the food map
showed mapping of the potential of food processing in
surplus production areas
Mega Food Park is a scheme of the Ministry of Food Processing (part of the
Government of India) with the aim of establishing a "direct linkage from farm to
processing and then to consumer markets" through a network of collection
centres and primary processing centres.
5 Streamlining
Project
Monitoring
process
The close monitoring of the projects regularly led to
completion of three Mega Food Parks in comparison
to two projects in previous six years and completion
of 14 cold chain projects as against 12 in last six
years.
This has also lead to significant improvement in
utilization of plan fund allocation nearly 200% in all
the schemes

Role Of Food Preservatives In Food
Processing
Preservative, in foods, any of numerous
chemical additives used to prevent or retard
spoilage caused by chemical changes, such
as oxidation or the growth of mold. Along
with emulsifying and stabilizing agents,
preservatives also help to maintain
freshness of appearance and consistency.
Addition of preservatives or additives leads to increase in the quality of
food, prevent the food items from degradation also
Food additives
Food additives are utilized in the preparation and processing of almost
all types of food in order to give favorable attributes to the food
we eat. Very simply, it is a substance which is added to food to enhance
its flavor, appearance, or other favorable quality. In fact, the food
protection committee of the US national research council defined food
additives as “A substance or a mixture of substances other than a basic
food stuff that is present in a food as a result of an aspect
of production, processing, storage, or packaging” According to US FDA
(Food and Drug Administration), a food additive is “any substance,
the intended use of which results or may reasonably be expected
to result–directly or indirectly–in its becoming a component or
otherwise affecting the characteristics of any food” . Although the term
‘food additives’ has been used frequently at present, its utilization has
been practiced since ancient times; and probably dating back to much
earlier than the hunter-gatherer era. Even though food additives confer
much benefit to all sectors, such as the manufacturers, retailers,
and customers, utilization of food additives must be carried out
extremely cautiously.
Phenolic compounds
Phenolic compounds are well known for their health benefits related
to antioxidant activity. In addition, this kind of compounds can be
extracted from natural sources, such as olives, grapes, fruits,
vegetables, rice, spices, herbs, tea and algae, among others. In this
way, these compounds have increased their popularity and, little by
little, the consumers are more interested in these compounds due to
the fact that they come from natural sources and because they have
health biological activity. In fact, other important characteristics
associated to phenolic compounds are the antimicrobial activity,
because phenolics have the capacity of retarding the microbial
invasion in some products and avoiding the putrefaction of others,
mainly fruits and vegetables. These properties allow phenolic
compounds to be suitable for numerous food preservation
applications. Therefore, different kinds of products can be fortificated
with phenolic compounds to extend the shelf life of some foods, to
turn them in functional food or to incorporate them in food
packaging. Active packing is an innovative strategy where phenolic
compounds can play an important role for improving the global
assessment and extend the shelf life of commercial products.
2-Phenylphenol, or o-phenylphenol, is an organic compound. In
terms of structure, it is one of the monohydroxylated isomers
of biphenyl. It is a white solid. It is a biocide used as
a preservatives under the trade names Dowicide, Torsite, Fungal,
Preventol, Nipacide and many others.
The primary use of 2-phenylphenol is as an agricultural fungicide. It is
generally applied post-harvest. It is a fungicide used for waxing citrus
fruit. It is no longer a permitted food additives in the European Union,
but is still allowed as a post-harvest treatment.
It is also used for disinfection of seed boxes. It is a general
surface disinfectant used in households, hospitals, nursing homes, farms,
laundries, barber shops, and food processing plants. It can be used on
fibers and other materials. It is used to disinfect hospital and veterinary
equipment. Other uses are in rubber industry and as a laboratory
reagent. It is also used in the manufacture of other fungicides, dye stuffs,
resins and rubber chemicals.
2-Phenylphenol is found in low concentrations in some household
products such as spray disinfectants and aerosol or spray underarm
deodorants.
The sodium salt of orthophenyl phenol, sodium orthophenyl phenol, is
a preservatives, used to treat the surface of citrus fruits.
Orthophenyl phenol is also used as a fungicide in food packaging and may
migrate into the contents.
Monohydroxylated derivative of
biphenyl
It is phenolic compound, it has antimicrobial and
antioxidant properties. Due to this it is applied as a
antifungal agent in agriculture, and for waxing of
fruits . The food items can be easily packed, stored
and transported .It also increases the shelf life of the
food items without degradation or decay of food
items . It is used as biocides .
It is also called as Orthophenyl phenol
C6H5OH C6H5
Other names2-Phenylphenol
2-Biphenylol
o-Phenylphenol
Biphenylol
2-Hydroxybiphenyl
Orthophenyl phenol

Orthoxenol
Benzethonium chloride, also known
as hyamine is a synthetic quaternary ammonium
salt. This compound is an odorless white solid,
soluble in water. It has surfactant, antiseptic, and
anti-infective properties, and it is used as a
topical antimicrobial agent in first aid antiseptics.
It is also found in cosmetics and toileteries such
as soap, mouth washes, anti-itch ointments, and
antibacterial moist towelettes. Benzethonium
chloride is also used in the food industry as a hard
surface disinfectant
Benzethonium chloride-
quaternary ammonium salt
Most of the preservatives are also
applied in cosmetics and as a surface
disinfection agent because it has a
disinfectant power or the
characteristics or properties
Calcium Benzoate
It is preferentially used more than other benzoic acid salts or its esters in foods due
to its better solubility and safety to humans. It is used in soft drinks, fruit juice,
concentrates, soy milk, soy sauce and vinegar. It is the most widely used preservative
in making bread and other bakery products
Uses of Sodium Benzoate.
Food: In the food industry, sodium benzoate is used to prevent spoilage from
harmful bacteria, yeasts, and molds. It also helps maintain freshness in food by
helping to slow or prevent changes in color, flavor, PH, and texture.
Calcium benzoate is commonly used as a food preservative. It is effective against
yeasts, moulds, and certain types of bacteria.
In its raw form, calcium benzoate appears as a white crystalline powder. It is a
calcium salt of benzoic acid. In chemistry, the term salt refers to a particular set of
compounds (ionic compounds) that result when an acid is neutralized by a base. In
this case, benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, reacts with calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, to form
the salt calcium benzoate, Ca(C7H5O2)2.
The effectiveness of benzoic acid and it’s salts depends on the acidity (pH) of the
food. Apparently, the most common use of calcium benzoate is in fruit juice.
As a food preservative, calcium benzoate is widely used due to its antibacterial and
antifungal properties. Benzoates are preferred for use as a food preservative over
benzoic acids and benzoic acid esters due to better solubility.
Sodium benzoate and calcium
benzoate
When microorganism become active on food
then food items undergo decay, due to which
the food changes its colour, pH,flavour,
texture and t can not be used for human
consumption.
Sodium benzoate
C6H5COOH + NaOH=C6H5COONa + H2O
Calcium benzoate
C6H5COOH + Ca(OH)2=C6H5COOCa + H2O
Sodium benzoate
Sodium benzoate is a preservative. It is most widely used in
acidic foods such as salad dressings (i.e. acetic acid in vinegar),
carbonated drinks (carbonic acid), jams and fruit juices (citric
acid), pickles (acetic acid), condiments, and frozen yogurt
toppings
Other foods that commonly include sodium benzoate include:
Salad dressings.
Pickles.
Sauces.
Condiments.
Fruit juices.
Wines.
Snack foods.
Calcium tartrate
Calcium tartrate, exactly calcium L-tartrate, is
a byproduct of the wine industry, prepared
from wine fermentation dregs. It is the calcium
salt of tartaric acid, an acid most commonly
found in grapes. Its solubility decreases with
lower temperature, which results in the
forming of whitish (in red wine often reddish)
crystalline clusters as it precipitates., it finds
use as a food preservatives and acidity
regulator.

Dimethyl dicarbonate (DMDC)
Dimethyl dicarbonate (DMDC) is an organic compound which is a
colorless liquid with a pungent odor at high concentration at room
temperature. It is primarily used as a beverage preservative,
processing aid, or sterilant (INS No. 242), and acts by inhibiting
the enzymes acetate kinase and L-glutamic acid decarboxylase.
The application of DMDC is particularly useful when wine needs to
be sterilized but cannot be sterile filtered, pasteurized, or sulfured.
DMDC is also used to stabilize non-alcoholic beverages such as
carbonated or non-carbonated juice beverages, isotonic sports
beverages, iced teas and flavored waters.
DMDC is added before the filling of the beverage. It then breaks
down into small amounts of methanol and carbon dioxide, which
are both natural constituents of fruit and vegetable juices.
Ethyl paraben
Typical food products which contain
parabens for preservation,
include beer, sauces, desserts, soft
drinks, jams, pickles, frozen dairy
products, processed vegetables and
flavoring syrups. Some fruits, such as
blueberries, contain parabens as a
naturally occurring preservative.
Glycolic acid
Glycolic acid can be found in many
common fruitsand vegetables, but
most notable of them
is sugarcane juice.
Other fruits and vegetables that
contain glycolic acid
are tomatoes, pineapples, sour milk,
andpapaya.”
Hexamine
Hexamine can be described as a heterocyclic organic
compound having the chemical formula C6H12N4. It is
also referred to as Hexamethylenetetramine,
Methenamine, or Urotropin.This compound acts as an
anti-infective agent, which is the most commonly used
element to treat urinary tract infections. The anti-
infective action of hexamine is derived from the slow
release of formaldehyde (CH2O) by the process of
hydrolysis at an acidic pH of 0.2 molars. Also,
methenamine is a colorless, odorless, and lustrous
crystal or white hygroscopic crystalline powder.

There are several advantages of required amount of caffeine from
the many food items. This eatable includes few of our samples
taken for analysis. As the concentration of caffeine is studied so
before its estimation it is essential to have a knowledge about the
beneficial and harmful effect of high concentration of this
molecule .The chemical name of this compound is (C8H10N4O2)
Trimethylxanthine (1, 3, 7-trimethylxanthine or 3, 7-dihydro-1, 3,
7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2, 6-dione). The beneficial effect of this
chemical compound is for the short-term relief of fatigue,
tiredness and to make the people active for short span of time. As
this analysis is concerned with the peoples of Bhiwandi city being
addicted by this entire product selected for study so harmful
effects of caffeine should be taken in to consideration. Its
hazardous effect on human body involves interference with the
brain activity as it is absorbed and passes quickly into the brain.
Caffeine Analysis
Caffeine analysis is carried out by several methods as it is official in USP and BP and their monograph revealed that
RP- HPLC (1) methods were described for its estimation. Caffeine has been determined in combination with other
drugs using UV-spectrophotometer, HPLC (1), GC, Mass spectrometry in pharmaceutical preparations. However,
most of the reported methods involve troublesome mobile phase (buffers) and sophisticated instrument (1,4,5)
which increases the cost of research. So in this study, efforts are made on the development of a simple and easy
solvent extraction and gravimetric method using dichloromethane as an organic solvent. This simple method of
analysis is based on the fact that caffeine compound is white solid in a crystalline pure form with melting point of
about 1230C (2, 3) having bitter taste. Therefore it can be easily extracted from sample in water by boiling. After
boiling a clear solution is obtained, if this clear solution is treated with lead acetate then other glucosides present
will be precipitated and can be easily removed. The filtrate which contain caffeine compound can be separated as
it has more solubility in water.
From the literature survey it is found that caffeine affects the human body in several different ways, the major
effect is it prevents the functioning of adenosine on its receptor and stop the inception of lethargy induced by
adenosine. Caffeine is guanine and adenine bases of DNA and RNA. Number of plants native to East Asia, Africa
and South America contain caffeine in the form of seeds, leaves and nuts. Caffeine containing drinks are very well-
liked in America; as of 2014, 85.0 percentage of American adults consumed some form of caffeine daily,
overwhelming 164.0 milli gram on average (2, 3).

  • 21. Food additives Food additives are utilized in the preparation and processing of almost all types of food in order to give favorable attributes to the food we eat. Very simply, it is a substance which is added to food to enhance its flavor, appearance, or other favorable quality. In fact, the food protection committee of the US national research council defined food additives as “A substance or a mixture of substances other than a basic food stuff that is present in a food as a result of an aspect of production, processing, storage, or packaging” According to US FDA (Food and Drug Administration), a food additive is “any substance, the intended use of which results or may reasonably be expected to result–directly or indirectly–in its becoming a component or otherwise affecting the characteristics of any food” . Although the term ‘food additives’ has been used frequently at present, its utilization has been practiced since ancient times; and probably dating back to much earlier than the hunter-gatherer era. Even though food additives confer much benefit to all sectors, such as the manufacturers, retailers, and customers, utilization of food additives must be carried out extremely cautiously.

Food: In the food industry, sodium benzoate is used to prevent spoilage from harmful bacteria, yeasts, and molds. It also helps maintain freshness in food by helping to slow or prevent changes in color, flavor, PH, and texture. Calcium benzoate is commonly used as a food preservative. It is effective against yeasts, moulds, and certain types of bacteria. In its raw form, calcium benzoate appears as a white crystalline powder. It is a calcium salt of benzoic acid. In chemistry, the term salt refers to a particular set of compounds (ionic compounds) that result when an acid is neutralized by a base. In this case, benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, reacts with calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, to form the salt calcium benzoate, Ca(C7H5O2)2. The effectiveness of benzoic acid and it’s salts depends on the acidity (pH) of the food. Apparently, the most common use of calcium benzoate is in fruit juice. As a food preservative, calcium benzoate is widely used due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Benzoates are preferred for use as a food preservative over benzoic acids and benzoic acid esters due to better solubility.

  • 41. Caffeine analysis is carried out by several methods as it is official in USP and BP and their monograph revealed that RP- HPLC (1) methods were described for its estimation. Caffeine has been determined in combination with other drugs using UV-spectrophotometer, HPLC (1), GC, Mass spectrometry in pharmaceutical preparations. However, most of the reported methods involve troublesome mobile phase (buffers) and sophisticated instrument (1,4,5) which increases the cost of research. So in this study, efforts are made on the development of a simple and easy solvent extraction and gravimetric method using dichloromethane as an organic solvent. This simple method of analysis is based on the fact that caffeine compound is white solid in a crystalline pure form with melting point of about 1230C (2, 3) having bitter taste. Therefore it can be easily extracted from sample in water by boiling. After boiling a clear solution is obtained, if this clear solution is treated with lead acetate then other glucosides present will be precipitated and can be easily removed. The filtrate which contain caffeine compound can be separated as it has more solubility in water.
