Raisin
In India, Thompson Seedless and its mutants viz. Sonaka,
Tas-A-Ganesh. Manik Chaman are mainly used for raisin
production although Arkavati grape found to be promising
and earlier recommended by IIHR, Bangalore. NRC for
Grapes, Pune have also come out with varieties viz. A 17-3,
E 12/3, Mint Seedless, Superior Seedless, KR White, Manik
Chaman, A 18-3 (Coloured seedless) and Cardinal (For
Manukka) found promising for the production of raisin, but are
yet to accept on commercial footing

Sr Baburao Kabade, farmer and
Sri Ujjwal Kothari MD, Kothari AgriTech with
commissioner of horticulture, Telangana
state.

6. In India, raisins are made from Thompson seedless and
its clones, namely, Tas-A-Ganesh, Sonaka and Manik
Chaman. Monukas form Anab-e-Shahi grapes are also
made in limited quantities.
The indigenous systems of medicine, namely, ayurveda
and Unani have described various uses of dried grapes.
They are one of the major ingredients of the most
popular tonic ‘Chyavanprash’. Raisins (Kishmish) are
chiefly consumed as dry fruit and preferably given to the
convalescent patients. They are also used in the
preparation of a variety of sweet dishes, desserts and
bakery products.

25. Raisin Manufacturing :
Raisin production is one of the important activity under
taken in Sangli district. The farmers (growers cum
processors) undertake raisin production activity themselves
and marketed raisin in open market.
For production of quality raisin, grapes harvested, graded,
washed and dipped in solutions containing 1 ltr of ethyl olate
and 0.20 kg. of potassium carbonate (k2co3) per 100 ltrs.
Water (ph9.5 to 11.00) for 2 to 5 minutes.
These grapes then brought to drying shed and spread on
shed. (Temperature 35 degree to 41 degree) Drying is
complete within 15 to 21 days depending upon whether
condition.

33. A good raisin-making cultivator should have
the following characteristics.
i) Thin skin but thick pulp,
ii) A minimum Brix value of 19°
iii) Should preserve flavor and colour, well after
dehydration
iv) Should be preferably seedless. If seeded it should be
bold so that sees can be removed,
v) Berry should detach from the pedicel clearly and easily
so that there is no oozing of juice and
vi) Should have uniform hue with brilliant colour.

34. FACTORS AFFECTING ON QUALITY OF RAISINS:
1. Processing efficiency.
2. Fruit maturity.
3. Fruit colour.
4. Conditions of berry
surface.
5. Extent of dehydration
6. Size of berry
7.Crop load.
8. Decaying organism.
Manufacturing methods of raisins :

35. Manufacturing methods of raisins
1 Natural
Raisins:
They are dark in colour with natural bloom intact
with rather tough skin, meaty and having
characteristics of oxidized flavour. The surface is
dry, non sticky, non oily and they do not cake in
storage .
2 Golden
bleached
raisins
The golden bleached as the name indicates are
golden yellow, to brilliant lemon. They are
moderately tender and may be somewhat sticky.
For eating as such some people dislike the
sulphur dioxide taste, which may be
objectionable. But in cooking, this flavour
disappears. Thoroughly selected Thompson
seedless berries are dipped for two to three
seconds in 0.2 to 0.5 per cent caustic soda near
boiling point (90°to 95°C). The fruit is exposed to
burning sulphur fumes to get uniform colour.

36. Manufacturing methods of raisins
3 Valencia
(Lexias)
The bunches are dipped in caustic soda to get
golden bleached raisins. The dip may be in hot
solution of sodium carbonate or potassium
carbonate with some caustic soda. In Valencia
province of Spain they are dried directly under the sun,
stemmed and are called Valencia or lexias.
4 Soda oil method In this method also, Thompson seedless grapes are
treated for production of raisins. The bunches are
dipped in solution containing sodium carbonate having
thin layer of olive oil on the surface.
5 Greek process This method is similar to soda oil method. The raisins
produced by the method are light in colour, non-sticky
and soft in texture.
6 Soda dip method The raisins produced by this method are some what
translucent and of distinguished reddish brown colour.
7 Currants These raisins are produced from Black Corinths
naturals. They are very small in size and of dark colour.

37. Manufacturing methods of raisins
8 Vine dried
raisins
Black Corinth also be dried on the trellis by cutting the canes
bearing the bunches. It takes about 4 to 5 weeks for the
bunches to dry. The method is suited only for mechanical
harvesting of raisins. Thompson Seedless can also be dried by
this method but the fruit has to be sprayed with 2 per cent
“dip emulsion” i.e. a mixture containing ethyl oloato 4 liters
and potassium carbonate 2.0 kg in 100 liters of water.
9 Cold
dipped
method
Latest and most of the raisins producers in Australia and India
have started using this technique. widely used in Sangli
district.
bunches are dipped in water emulsion of dipping oil, i.e.,
Ethyl oleate made in potassium carbonate solution .For
making the dipping emulsion of 100 liter water 2.5 kg.
potassium carbonate and 1.5 litter dipping oil (Ethyl oleate) is
required. This emulsion is sufficient for the dipping of 1,000
kg. grapes. The dipping period of the grapes is 3 minutes,
which is considered as a standard period of dipping

38. S.N. Before CFC After setting up of CFC
1. Grading and Sorting is
manually done by
labour, chances of
mixing of stones,
impurities are more in
manually sorting.
Opportunities for export
of manually sorted
raisins are less.
Common processing
Sorting and processing is done by
atomized machinery, it produces hygienic
and export quality raisins. MSME units
(Members) are directly and indirectly
exported the CFC processed raisins in
various countries i.e. Dubai, Kuwait,
Russia.
2 No testing and
inspection facility are
available in cluster area.
Common Testing Laboratory Chemical
and biological testing facility for finished
good and raw material is available in
CFC.Water testing, Colour testing,
Moisture testing , Soil and leaf testing,
facilities are also available in CFC.
