The growing health concern in consumers is prompting scientists to formulate not only new food products but also newer technologies for obtaining maximum health gains.
Keeping these concerns in the backdrop, the Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), Mysore, is contemplating a technology for fortified sugarcane juice, a product obtained form sugarcane juice through fortification.
This was informed to Fnb News in a chat over telephone by Dr P Srinivas, chief scientist , head- plantation products, spices, flavour technology department, CFTRI, Mysore.
Dr Srinivas said that beverages were an important source of nutrients and also an easy medium to deliver the nutrients to human body.
“We have recently developed sugarcane juice in Tetrapak, and now we are contemplating the same for fortified sugarcane juice,” he said.
Explaining further, Dr Srinivas said that with food fortification becoming the need of the hour, there was an impetus to developing such technology for nutrient-based beverages in the market.
Prior to developing sugarcane juice in Tetrapak, the CFTRI had developed sugarcane juice in glass bottle and the technology for the same had already been transfered to around 1500 entrepreneurs in the industry. According to Dr Srinivas, conditions for processing sugarcane differed in both—glass bottles and Tetrapak. He claimed that Tetrapaks were safer than the bottled juices.
