The document discusses value addition of an ethnic meat product called Vawksa rep from Mizoram, India through retort packaging. Retort packaging involves precooking the meat, filling it into pouches, sealing the pouches, and retorting them at high temperature and pressure to sterilize the product and extend its shelf life without refrigeration for up to 6 months. This process reduces storage and transportation costs while improving consumer experience through easy opening, serving, and disposal. Retort packaging using liquid smoke provides uniform flavor and color with no known health risks compared to traditional smoking methods.
