3. Specification & Justification of Equipment & Labs requirement:

The various Agro Processing equipments are required to make the UG & PG students of Food
Processing learn the methods of producing different kind of processed products like- flakes( rice,
corn, bajra etc.), puffs, chips , soy, bakery & confectionery products etc. Along with, debrannig,
milling, grinding & packaging of various agriculture produce.
Additionally, thrust will be given to complete Testing of the products developed- their nutritive
value( protein, fat, fiber, mineral content), microbial load etc.
For e.g.:

Molds- To Make various shapes of cookies, cup cakes, etc

Cutters- Bread cutters

Sieves- Fractionation of the various particle sizes of grains (Research & processing) Mesh sizes: 10, 20,32,
60, 80 120

Vegetable peeler - For peeling the vegetables (processing) 50Kg/hr

Modified Atmospheric packaging machine: To incorporate the modified gases in to the packaged product to
increase the shelf life.(Processing & research)

Spice Grinder: Grinding spices (100Kg/hr)

Stirrer- Lab analytical stirrer.

Mini dal mill Used for dal milling ( Pulse processing)

Mini Rice mill Rice processing & milling
Puffing Machine for puffing of rice & corn
Debraining Equipment for removing bran & germ
Magnetic stirrer Mixing of samples done with rotation.
Hot plate heating of food sample.
Water bath incubation of samples
Hot air oven drying
Color measuring system used match colour food samples.
Texturometer for texture analyses of different foods like rice soyabean.
Weighing balance use weight samples
Colorimeter measure heat of chemical reaction

pH meter analyzing the pH of the solution (Analysis & research)

Spectrophotometer- analyzing various components of the different components of food.( Analysis &
research)

Fibra plus- Extraction & determination of fibers of food.

Socs plus- Various extraction processes (research )

Jeldal- Protein estimation
