  • Pickled Papaya
    PICKLED PAPAYA Green papaya is required to make pickle. The papaya should be green and very firm and harvested before the ripening process starts. If the papaya is used too early it will give a pickle with a bitter-milky flavour. The final product can he packed in glass jars or polythene bags (at least 100 micron, preferably a thicker gauge). The polythene bags are a very cheap form of packaging and can be made into very small packet sizes which are appropriate for marketing in rural areas. However, polythene is not a very good barrier for containing aromas, which attract ants, which in turn, will eat through the polythene very quickly. The yield of usable fruit from whole green papaya is approximately 70%. Recipe Prepared papaya 54% Sugar 36% Ground garlic 3% Ground ginger 0.5% Ground mustard seed 0.3% Ground fennel seed 0.3% Ground cumin seed 0.4% Chilli powder 0.8% Saffron powder or turmeric powder 0.1 % Salt 2% Acetic acid (80%) 0.3% Lime juice 2% The lime juice can he stored in bulk, if limes are not available when the papaya is in season, using preservative, (Sulphur dioxide or Benzoic acid at l000-l500ppm). The garlic can he ground in bulk and kept for long periods, by mixing it with the salt which is required in the recipe. To make 200 x 1lb jars of papaya pickle requires approximately 13kg of sugar and 27kg of green papaya. Method Wash the whole fruits in clean water and discard any which is bad. Remove the skin with a stainless steel knife.

  • Small-Scale Food Processing Enterprises in Malaysia
    SMALL-SCALE FOOD PROCESSING ENTERPRISES IN MALAYSIA Ghani Senik Food Technology Research Station MARDI, 16800 Pasir Puteh Kelantan, Malaysia ABSTRACT Small-scale food enterprises have played a very important role in the Malaysian economy, particularly in terms of employment generation, better income distribution and as a training ground for entrepreneurs before they invest in larger enterprises. Small-scale food enterprises also have important linkages to related industries such as the manufacture of machinery, and food packaging materials, and suppliers of food ingredients. It is envisaged that small-scale food enterprises will continue to expand in line with policies and incentives introduced by the government. INTRODUCTION enterprise is one with net assets of US$200,001 - US$1.0 million. Food It is usual to discuss small- and processing companies are generally perceived medium-scale industries in Malaysia as a as agro-based industries which have a strong single group. There are an estimated 30,000 backward linkage. However this is not the such enterprises in Malaysia.

  • Pickles and Relishes
    UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICE CIRCULAR 423 Columbia, Missouri AUGUST, 1940 Pickles and Relishes FLORA L. CARL* Pickles and relishes have little food value, but they point up a dinner, add a party air to a buffet luncheon or a picnic supper, and if served only occasionally are a special treat for a family meal. Their clear color, crisp texture and tart flavor stimulate the appetite. They should not be used to replace fresh or cooked vegetables or fruits. Because of their high flavor, they should not be included in the diets of children or given frequently to people who are not vigorous or have digestive difficulties. Good pickles have a spicy tart flavor throughout the vegetable or fruit, they have a clear bright color and most vegetable pickles should be crisp. For home use all pickles and relishes might be grouped under four types, namely : 1. Brined or Cured Pickles.-Vegetables are held in a 10% salt solution or brine until they are properlyversion cured which takes from 2 weeks to 2 months. The best sweet, sour, dill, mustard, or mixed vegetable pickles, are made from these brined or cured pickles. Sauerkraut and other vegetables which are cured in a brine made from their juice and salt are included in this group. 2. Fruit Pickles.-These are the easiest type to make and prob­ ably the most desirable type for family meals. Canned, dried or fresh fruit is heated in a spicy sweet-sour sirup and allowed to stand some time to develop flavor before serving.

  • 2014-Campbell-Culinary-Trendscape
    Insights for Innovation and Inspiration from Thomas W. Griffiths, CMC Vice President, Campbell’s Culinary & Baking Institute (CCBI) Tracking the ebb and flow of North American food trends can be a daunting task, even for a seasoned culinary professional, which is why we take a team approach to monitoring food trends. We begin with our most valued resource—culinary intuition. We draw first on the expertise of our global team of chefs and bakers and the inspiration that they find in culinary tours, literature and many other sources including our trusted industry partners. This year we have taken our collective ideas and compiled our first-ever CCBI Culinary TrendScape report, which highlights what we see as the trends to watch—the foods that excite our palettes and our imagination. Some of these trends may inspire future Campbell products, while some may not. Either way, we think it’s important to stay on the pulse of what people are eating and how their tastes are evolving as a result of global influences. 2014 HOT TOPICS This 2014 Culinary TrendScape report offers our unique point of view on what we’ve These themes are identified as the ten most dynamic food trends to watch, from Brazilian Cuisine to the driving force behind Bolder Burgers. We also look at overarching themes—hot topics—that have risen this year’s top trends to the top in the marketplace. Authenticity • A Balanced Some themes, like authenticity and interest in a balanced lifestyle, have been hot Lifestyle • Distinctive Flavors • topics the past few years and remain influential in this year’s TrendScape.

  • What Equipment Will I Need to Can at Home? What Types of Canners Are
    What equipment will I need to can at home? Either a large cooking pot or a water bath canner, or pressure canner, jars and lids, knives, long- handled spoons, saucepans, measuring cups, a colander, and scrapers. A few additional helpful aids are: A jar lifter, a jar funnel, a bubble freer, a timer. What types of canners are available? There are two basic types of canners: Steam Pressure Canners and Boiling Water Bath Canners. The Steam Pressure Canner method is used for foods containing very little acid, such as vegetables, meats, and seafood. We use this method to destroy bacteria and their by- products including salmonella, staphylococcus aureus and the bacterium that causes botulism, all of which can thrive in low-acid foods. That’s why these foods require the Steam Pressure Canning method that reaches a high temperature of 240ºF. The boiling water bath canner method is used for high- acid foods, including all fruits, tomatoes, sauerkraut and most foods to which vinegar has been added such as pickles and relishes. Can a pressure canner be used for boiling water bath canning? Yes, as long as the pressure canner can be utilized without pressure. Why do I need to use a pressure canner instead of a boiling water bath canner on some items? Low-acid foods, pH values higher than 4.6 include red meats, seafood, poultry, milk, and all fresh vegetables, with the exception of most tomatoes. Boiling water bath canner temperatures do not reach heat levels to destroy botulinum spores. Pressure canning is the only safe method of canning low-acid foods, since the internal temperature of the foods packed in the jars must be reach at least 240°F to 250°F.

L-ascorbic acid and total phenols were also examined based on the hypothesis that the presence of these antioxidant compounds may influence N-nitrosation reactions upon human consumption. The Keywords: fermented and acidified vegetable products included 131 samples from multiple lots of 46 different Nitrate commercially available products. Nitrite was detected in low concentrations (<1.5 mg/100 g) in four Nitrite acidified (pickled green beans, red cabbage, pickled beets, and pickled mushrooms) and two fermented Vegetables products (Greek olives and kimchi). Nitrate concentrations ranged from a mean value of 122 mg/100 g for Fermented fi Acidified kimchi to undetectable levels in acidi ed Brussels sprouts. Measures of antioxidant compounds showed Antioxidant that artichoke hearts had the highest total polyphenols (225 mg/100 g), and olive products had between 84 ± 5 mg/100 g (Spanish table olives) and 170 ± 8 mg/100 g (Greek olives).
