SOP for Syrup storage

1. Wash the bucket with normal water and then hot water.
2. Dry the bucket/ keep it for sun drying.
3. Fill the processed syrup and keep it for instant cooling.
4. Clean the storage container with hot water (40 to 50 oC).
5. Dry the container/ keep it for sun drying.
6. Fill the container and airtight it.
7. Store the container cool and dry place.
8.
Quick cooling helps maintain the syrup’s lighter color, compared to slower cooling methods

Syrup Preservation Tips

These are some tips to keep syrups lasting longer without spoiling. These won't render syrup shelf-stable
indefinitely, but might help extend the life of spoilable syrups.

 Increase the sugar level - Higher sugar levels reduce water availability to microorganisms. Bring
your sugar level (brix) up to at least 50. That means equal parts sugar and water by weight (not by
volume).
 Add alcohol – 15% or so of alcohol helps work as a preservative environment; the higher the
better. (Note alcohol at this level will not sterilize the syrup, merely extend its lifespan.)
 Strain syrups well – homogeneous environments are best. Chunks are bad.
 A Campden tablet kills bacteria and is used to sterilize wine/beer to stop further fermentation.
 Citric acid/vinegar/an acidic environment (low pH) help preserve syrups.
 Bring it to 186 degrees for 6 seconds, or bring it to 140 degrees for 10 minutes. There are charts
on how to pasteurize acidified products all over the internet.
 Hot Fill. While the liquid is at least 120 degrees, fill the bottle, cap it and invert it for at least two
minutes. As the liquid cools, it shrinks (hot liquids fill more volume than cold liquids), creating
some negative pressure .
 Read websites on canning – they know what’s up.
 Make an invert syrup rather than adding sugar to water cold. Invert the syrup by holding at 240
degrees. The addition of a little cream of tartar (or, barring that, a little lemon juice for the citric
acid) will help split the sugars to invert.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging extends the shelf life of fresh food products. The atmospheric air inside a
package is substituted with a protective gas mix which ensures that the product will stay fresh for as long
as possible.
Modified atmosphere preserves food by operating on the atmosphere around it. Salad crops that are
difficult to preserve are packaged in sealed bags with an atmosphere modified to reduce the oxygen
concentration and increase the carbon dioxide concentration.

Food preservatives are classified as:

 Class I preservatives or the natural preservatives such as salt, sugar,

vinegar, syrup, spices, honey and edible oil and
  Class II preservatives or the chemical preservatives such as benzoates,
sorbates, nitrites and nitrates of sodium or potassium, sulfites,
glutamates, glycerides and the like.

With temperatures dipping across the country, it is time to welcome all the warming
foods the season has to offer. Jaggery, or gur as it is known in India, is definitely one
of them. You will soon find shops, road-side vendors and even thela-wallahs selling
this traditional Indian favourite. This age-old, unrefined form of sugar is known for its
many health benefits; it is an excellent digestive, is known for being a rich source of
iron and vitamin C and also helps improve blood circulation to name a few. In
addition, gur is known to keep our bodies warm, which is why it is usually
recommended to be consumed in the winter months. It's a really good seasonal
delight to enjoy if you can get your hands on some quality stuff. But how can you be
sure that what you are buying is pure or not? Fret not, as we tell you how to identify
good quality jaggery and the parameters to check for its purity.
What is jaggery/Gur?

Jaggery is a sweetener that is made from sugarcane and is obtained by boiling raw
and concentrated sugarcane juice. It is known to be a healthier alternative to white
sugar because of a superior nutritional profile. However, both have similar calorie
content. Sugarcane juice is boiled for quite a few hours before adding it in the
moulds and is further kept to cool off and let it harden. On the other hand, white
sugar has to go through crystallization and several other processes in before it is
packaged for consumption.

Why is this the season to have jaggery?

Health experts have always recommended eating jaggery in winter only, considering
jaggery produces heat in the body further causing stomach problems. Therefore, one
should avoid consuming jaggery during hot days.
ays to check for jaggery's purity
According to the Culinary Expert and Food Blogger Chef Reetu Uday Kugaji,
"Generally a good quality jaggery should have the right colour, good flavour and
hardness." It is imperative to check for its purity anytime you are out buying some for
consumption. Here are a few points to keep in mind while buying jaggery as
suggested by Chef Reetu -

Points to remember if you are buying jaggery:

1. Do taste a piece of jaggery; it should not taste even slightly salty. If it does,
this may indicate a high concentration of mineral salts. The salty taste can
also tell you if the gur is fresh or not, the older it is, the saltier it gets.
2. If there is any bitterness in the gur or jaggery, it means that it has gone
through the process of caramelisation during the boiling process.
3. Check for any crystals on the jaggery. Presence of crystals indicates that the
jaggery may have gone through other processes to make it sweeter.
4. The colour of the jaggery also plays an important role in identifying purity.
Ideally the colour of the jaggery should be dark brown. The yellowish colour in
gur may indicate chemical treatment.
5. Prefer buying hard jaggery; this ensures that there are no additives added
while boiling the sugarcane juice.

 Check for any crystals on the jaggery

Points to remember after you have bought the jaggery:

 Most vendors add chalk powder in jaggery, hence, in order to check for its
presence, all you need to do is take a transparent bowl of water and dissolve a
piece of jaggery in the water. You will see the powder settling down in the water.

 There is a chance that artificial colour is used to give jaggery the right colour. Take
half a teaspoon of jaggery and add six millilitre of alcohol to it and mix well. Now
add 20 drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid. If the jaggery turns pink then it
means that artificial colours have been added to this lot.

So enjoy your bite of jaggery without having to worry about adulterations by following
these simple steps. Stay healthy!

1) Aids Digestion: Jaggery could do wonders for your digestion. Jaggery is often
recommended to people who have constipation as it improves the digestion process in the
