Food Processing is the
transformation of raw ingredients,
by physical or chemical means
into food, or of food into others
forms
METHODS OF PROCESSING
Old
Sun drying
Freezing
Fermentatio
n Pickling
Jam and
jelly
Canning
Modern
Vacuum

Advantages
• Improves digestibility
• Promotes palatability
• Sterilized the food by killing
harmful bacteria and other
micro-organism
• Improves shelf life
• Provides fast, convenient and
attractive food for consumers
• Provides portable and less
perishable foods
• Ease of shipping
• Helps in providing functional
foods having bio active
components (Patients)
EFFECT OF PROCESSING ON NUTRIENTS

Coagulation and
shrinkage
Carbohydrates Heating Gelatinization
Vitamin A
Heating, Drying

Vitamin B
Sterilization, use of
alkali
Nutritional loss
Vitamin C Cooking Nutritional loss
Post Harvest Management includes the processes
done immediately after harvesting the produce,
including cooling, cleaning, sorting and packing.
The instant a crop is removed from the ground, or
separated from its parent plant, it begins to
deteriorate.
Therefore post harvest treatment are given to
increase its shelf life and maintain its quality. Thus
post harvest management largely determines final
quality.
What is Post Harvest Management
Post
harvest?For minimizing the
qualitative losses after
harvesting
40% losses in fruits and
vegetables due to improper
handling, storage, packaging
and transportation
REASONS FOR LOSSES
• Lack of clear concept of packing house operations.
•Lack of awareness among the growers, contractors and even
the policy makers.
• Lack of infrastructure.
• Late realization of its importance.
• Inadequate technical support.
• Inadequate post-harvest quality control.
• Unorganized marketing.
• Absence of pre-cooling and cold storage.
•Inadequate market facilities, market intelligence
and market information service (MIS) • Poor storage
facilities.
Factors affecting post harvest
losses1. Variety
2. Management
3. Method and stage of
harvesting
4. Improper grading and
packing
5. Storing
6. Transport and marketing
(Physical and mechanical
• Pre-harvest maturity indication
• Curing after harvest
• Sorting
• Pre-cooling before storage,
• Washing & removal of surface
moisture
• Modified Atmos Packaging
• Dehydration & Packaging
• Crushing and packing
• Value addition like ketchup, pickles
