Papaya

Papaya Pulp/Concentrate is made from select variety of red and yellow papayas ripened under controlled atmospheric conditions. The preparation process includes cutting, de-stoning, peeling, refining and concentrating under vacuum (for Concentrates) and packing. In case of aseptic product the pulp is sterilized and packed in aseptic bags. The refined pulp is also packed in cans, hermetically sealed and retorted. Frozen pulp is pasteurized and deep-frozen in plate freezers. The process ensures that the natural flavor and aroma of the fruit is retained in the final product. Usage The papaya is widely consumed as a table fruit particularly at breakfast and as a dessert. The pulp along with cream also makes an excellent breakfast drink. Aseptic Papaya Pulp/Concentrate is used in the preparation of jams, mixed fruit drink, baby foods, confectionery in ice cream and yoghurt. The therapeutic value of the product makes it suitable for combination with other fruit to make nutritious health drinks. Specifications T.S.S. ( Degree Brix ) Acidity ( % as C.A.)
