INTRODUCTION

India is the 2nd largest producer of vegetables in the world. Processing of fruits
and vegetables in India becomes very important as major chunk of them gets
exported to various countries. Drying of food is the one oldest technology to
preserve them for longer period. Among various known methods, spray drying is
one such method which is very useful and important because of its various
applications.

Post-harvest, there used to be tremendous loss in preserving food. After converting

food/vegetables into pulp, they are spray dried to convert them into powder. Spray
drying helps maintain the real taste and flavor of the fruit and vegetable along
with preventing its nutritive value. Fat powders are micro fine emulsified fats
improving the sensory properties like creaminess, mouth feel and the appearance
of the product in which added. Fat powders with different fat base & fat levels up
to 80% can be achievable with spray drying machines and technology.

Tomato Powder

Tomato powder, as the name emplies, is the dehydrated tomato juice in broad
sense. Tomato powder can be manufactured by one of the various methods for the
dehydration of tomato juice.

Concentration of fruit & vegetable juices to powders for subsequent use in bakery
products, beverages, jellies, puddings and other deserts has been subject of
numerous investigations. Result of this work are evidenced by a large number of
articles, patents and commercial installation for dehydration of fruit & vegetable
juices. possible savings in packaging, storage, transportation and convenience, in
certain instances, account for the continued interest in commercial development
of powder product. It is evident, however, that the present trend towards ready to
use desserts and other formulated food products adds much to the commercial
possibilities of powdered fruit juices and pups.

Manufacture of high quality powdered fruit & vegetable juices ie. Tomato juice
requires special care in selection of process and equipment. As these powders are
sensitive to heat damage, the drying process, must be designed for conditions
leading to minimum value for the product of time temperature. Ideally, this might
be accompanised either by using high temperature and very short times or by
dehydrating at low temperatures and relatively longer time. As the first of these
conditions is a feature of spray drying, it is not surprising to find that this method
was emphasized in early work on preparation of powdered juices. More recently,
several other methods have come into use.

The method of manufacture of tomato juice is such as to cause little change in
composition and nutritive value from those of raw tomatoes. In proximate
composition, the most conspicuous change is a reduction of crude fibre due to
removal of spins, cores & seedsin extraction. The carotene retention is expected to
some extent and the ascorbic acid content quite marbedly, by variations in the
technique of manufacture. Since, the ascorbic acid content is a strong feature of
the product nutritionally; there is a ample incentive for adoption of processing
methods favouring retention of this vitamin.

On the retention of nutrients in the preparation and canning of tomato juice, an

average retention of carotene of about 67%, the loss reflecting the straining out of
some carotene containing material during extraction. Ascorbic acid retention
varied from 35 to 90% with an average about 67 percent.
