1. History of Pickles 
There are many types of pickles but what are exactly pickles? According to the dictionary, it refers to foods which have been preserved in vinegar and or with salt water. Brine refers to very salty water especially used for pickling. However, in Indian cooking, making pickles or "achar" uses oil as preservatives and various spices as flavoring. 
Pickling is one of the oldest forms of food preservation, discovered at the dawn of civilization, thousands of years ago in Mesopotamia. Pickling is a method used to preserve food stuffs. The food items are placed in various liquids such as oil or vinegar to help preservation. Since ancient times, people have devised different ways to preserve and pickle foods so that during famines or long winters food is not a problem. The pickle making process began since the year 2030 BC. The pickles were prepared from cucumbers whose seeds were brought by the people from Northern India to the Tigris valley. From then various experiments were tried to preserve cucumbers. And the most recent one that using brine was also invented and became very famous. Earlier America was known for pickles. It is also believed that sour pickles help in balancing the acid and alkaline content of the human body which destroys the bacteria in the digestive tract. Pickles played a very important role in folk medicine. Pickles are a type of food that is eaten all around the world and is very famous. Pickling is an easy process and is also known as corning or brining In India pickles are made as a side dish. Many fruits and vegetables such as limes, raw mango, pumpkins, rose petals, cauliflower, radish, onion etc. Some pickles are also made using fish as the major ingredient. In India, it is known as "achar". Oil is used for preserving the food and a variety of spices such as cloves, cumin seeds, turmeric, asafetida, salt etc. Soft-skinned vegetables such as cucumbers, cabbages, beets and peppers are placed in a special brining solution containing vinegar, salt, water, various peppercorns and spices. After several hours, days or even weeks spent in this salt water bath, much of the vegetable's natural juices have been replaced with acidic brine that naturally discourages harmful bacterial growth. Most pickles do not require refrigeration because of this natural acidity. 
2. Fruits and Vegetables Pickles 
There are two basic types of pickles. Young vegetables and fruits are more suitable to be made into raw pickles. Raw fruit pickles are very famous in Penang. Many kinds of local fruits can be pickled. However, nutmeg and mangoes head the list 
They all taste different! 
There are dozens of types of mangoes and EACH of them can be processed and tastes very different from one another. As for cooked pickles, they are usually served with rice as a condiment. If you love sushi, you must be familiar with "gari", pink pickled ginger that is served with this Japanese delicacy. A meal at Korean restaurant always has "kimchi", pickled cabbage in chili powder. Pickled garlic mostly comes from Thailand Gherkin is a pickle made of cucumber and vinegar 
North Americans prefer pickles with warts. Europeans prefer wartless pickles. Refrigerated pickles account for about 20 percent of all pickle sales.

International Pickle Week is one of the country's longest running food promotions --it's been observed for more than 50 years. IPW actually runs for 10 days during the last two weeks of May. 
Americans consume more than 2.5 billion pounds of pickles each year - that's 20 billion pickles! And since it takes almost 4 billion pickles to reach the moon, all the pickles we eat would reach the moon and back more than 2 times! 
Consumption 
American households purchase pickles every 53 days. 
More than 67 percent of all households eat pickles. 
Americans consume more than 9 pounds of pickles per person annually. 
Varieties There are hundreds of kinds of pickles to try. Among them are: 
Dill - genuine, kosher, Polish, German style, overnight varieties, and more 
Sweet - includes bread & butter, no-salt and sweet/hot varieties 
Sour and Half-Sour 
Pickled Peppers - jalapenos, pepperoncini, sweet and hot cherry peppers, banana peppers, etc. 
Specialty Products - includes other types of pickled vegetables such as asparagus, beets, cauliflower, cocktail onions, green tomatoes, okra and sauerkraut to name a few 
Pickles are usually available whole (including gherkins and midgets), or cut into halves, slices, spears, strips, chips, chunks, salad cubes, relish or sliced lengthwise for sandwiches. 
Popularity 
Dill pickles are the most popular type of pickle, followed by sweet. The interest in Mexican and Southwestern cuisine has made pickled peppers the "hot" news in the pickled vegetable category.

3. Production Methods 
Refrigerated - Fresh, clean cucumbers are put into jars, covered with a seasoned pickling liquid and immediately refrigerated. The entire fermentation process takes place under refrigeration. Once the cucumbers have absorbed the seasonings, the pickles are then shipped. These extra- crispy pickles are available in the refrigerated section of the supermarket and are marked with an expiration date, since their shelf life is shorter than processed or fresh pack pickles. They also must be refrigerated at home. 
Fresh Pack - Fresh, clean cucumbers are placed directly into jars and covered with a pickling solution of vinegar and seasonings, depending on the variety of pickles being produced. The containers are vacuum-sealed, quickly heated to pasteurize and then cooled. Fresh-pack pickles are generally crispier and less acidic than processed pickles. They also retain some of the flavor and color of fresh cucumbers. Jars of fresh pack pickles will say "fresh pack" on the label. 
Processed - Clean cucumbers are placed in a salt brine solution in large tanks where they undergo full fermentation over the course of one to three months. The salt is added gradually throughout the process so it permeates the cucumbers evenly. Pickles are then removed from the tanks, rinsed of excess salt and put into jars with different additional seasonings. Processed pickles have a sharper flavor and are usually dark green and somewhat translucent. 
Usage 
Pickles are used most often as a sandwich accompaniment. They also are popular eaten as a snack right from the jar. Pickles and pickled peppers also are a convenient and versatile recipe ingredient. They add fast flavor to salsas and sauces, sandwiches, soups, appetizers, main dishes and more. 
Pickles are fat free and low in calories. Average-size dill contains only 15 calories and an ounce of pickled peppers provides only 7 calories.

  • 4. 3 zia@milestonevision.com | http://www.ventureart.biz/ Brief Feasibility Report for Pickles Production Unit 1. History of Pickles There are many types of pickles but what are exactly pickles? According to the dictionary, it refers to foods which have been preserved in vinegar and or with salt water. Brine refers to very salty water especially used for pickling. However, in Indian cooking, making pickles or "achar" uses oil as preservatives and various spices as flavoring. Pickling is one of the oldest forms of food preservation, discovered at the dawn of civilization, thousands of years ago in Mesopotamia. Pickling is a method used to preserve food stuffs. The food items are placed in various liquids such as oil or vinegar to help preservation. Since ancient times, people have devised different ways to preserve and pickle foods so that during famines or long winters food is not a problem. The pickle making process began since the year 2030 BC. The pickles were prepared from cucumbers whose seeds were brought by the people from Northern India to the Tigris valley. From then various experiments were tried to preserve cucumbers. And the most recent one that using brine was also invented and became very famous. Earlier America was known for pickles. It is also believed that sour pickles help in balancing the acid and alkaline content of the human body which destroys the bacteria in the digestive tract. Pickles played a very important role in folk medicine. Pickles are a type of food that is eaten all around the world and is very famous. Pickling is an easy process and is also known as corning or brining In India pickles are made as a side dish. Many fruits and vegetables such as limes, raw mango, pumpkins, rose petals, cauliflower, radish, onion etc. Some pickles are also made using fish as the major ingredient. In India, it is known as "achar". Oil is used for preserving the food and a variety of spices such as cloves, cumin seeds, turmeric, asafetida, salt etc. Soft-skinned vegetables such as cucumbers, cabbages, beets and peppers are placed in a special brining solution containing vinegar, salt, water, various peppercorns and spices. After several hours, days or even weeks spent in this salt water bath, much of the vegetable's natural juices have been replaced with acidic brine that naturally discourages harmful bacterial growth. Most pickles do not require refrigeration because of this natural acidity. 2. Fruits and Vegetables Pickles There are two basic types of pickles. Young vegetables and fruits are more suitable to be made into raw pickles. Raw fruit pickles are very famous in Penang. Many kinds of local fruits can be pickled. However, nutmeg and mangoes head the list They all taste different! There are dozens of types of mangoes and EACH of them can be processed and tastes very different from one another. As for cooked pickles, they are usually served with rice as a condiment. If you love sushi, you must be familiar with "gari", pink pickled ginger that is served with this Japanese delicacy. A meal at Korean restaurant always has "kimchi", pickled cabbage in chili powder. Pickled garlic mostly comes from Thailand Gherkin is a pickle made of cucumber and vinegar North Americans prefer pickles with warts. Europeans prefer wartless pickles. Refrigerated pickles account for about 20 percent of all pickle sales.
  • 5. 4 zia@milestonevision.com | http://www.ventureart.biz/ Brief Feasibility Report for Pickles Production Unit International Pickle Week is one of the country's longest running food promotions --it's been observed for more than 50 years. IPW actually runs for 10 days during the last two weeks of May. Americans consume more than 2.5 billion pounds of pickles each year - that's 20 billion pickles! And since it takes almost 4 billion pickles to reach the moon, all the pickles we eat would reach the moon and back more than 2 times! Consumption American households purchase pickles every 53 days. More than 67 percent of all households eat pickles. Americans consume more than 9 pounds of pickles per person annually. Varieties There are hundreds of kinds of pickles to try. Among them are: Dill - genuine, kosher, Polish, German style, overnight varieties, and more Sweet - includes bread & butter, no-salt and sweet/hot varieties Sour and Half-Sour Pickled Peppers - jalapenos, pepperoncini, sweet and hot cherry peppers, banana peppers, etc. Specialty Products - includes other types of pickled vegetables such as asparagus, beets, cauliflower, cocktail onions, green tomatoes, okra and sauerkraut to name a few Pickles are usually available whole (including gherkins and midgets), or cut into halves, slices, spears, strips, chips, chunks, salad cubes, relish or sliced lengthwise for sandwiches. Popularity Dill pickles are the most popular type of pickle, followed by sweet. The interest in Mexican and Southwestern cuisine has made pickled peppers the "hot" news in the pickled vegetable category.
  • 6. 5 zia@milestonevision.com | http://www.ventureart.biz/ Brief Feasibility Report for Pickles Production Unit 3. Production Methods Refrigerated - Fresh, clean cucumbers are put into jars, covered with a seasoned pickling liquid and immediately refrigerated. The entire fermentation process takes place under refrigeration. Once the cucumbers have absorbed the seasonings, the pickles are then shipped. These extra- crispy pickles are available in the refrigerated section of the supermarket and are marked with an expiration date, since their shelf life is shorter than processed or fresh pack pickles. They also must be refrigerated at home. Fresh Pack - Fresh, clean cucumbers are placed directly into jars and covered with a pickling solution of vinegar and seasonings, depending on the variety of pickles being produced. The containers are vacuum-sealed, quickly heated to pasteurize and then cooled. Fresh-pack pickles are generally crispier and less acidic than processed pickles. They also retain some of the flavor and color of fresh cucumbers. Jars of fresh pack pickles will say "fresh pack" on the label. Processed - Clean cucumbers are placed in a salt brine solution in large tanks where they undergo full fermentation over the course of one to three months. The salt is added gradually throughout the process so it permeates the cucumbers evenly. Pickles are then removed from the tanks, rinsed of excess salt and put into jars with different additional seasonings. Processed pickles have a sharper flavor and are usually dark green and somewhat translucent. Usage Pickles are used most often as a sandwich accompaniment. They also are popular eaten as a snack right from the jar. Pickles and pickled peppers also are a convenient and versatile recipe ingredient. They add fast flavor to salsas and sauces, sandwiches, soups, appetizers, main dishes and more. Pickles are fat free and low in calories. Average-size dill contains only 15 calories and an ounce of pickled peppers provides only 7 calories.
