Guava is suitable for Jam making.

Key Points Guava:

• Guava (Psidium guajava)  is a native of tropical America but has long been naturalized in India.
• Guavas are mostly eaten as fresh fruits.
• They are also canned to some extent, preserved spiced, or made into jam and marmalades.
• Guavas are notable for their high content of vitamin C which, in many varieties, is 4 to 10 times greater than in citrus fruits.
• They also contain a considerable amount of pectin, hence, making them ideal for jam preparation.

Important Points

• The pectic substances present in fruit are protopectin, pectin, and pectic acid.
• The protopectin present in underripe fruits inhibits gel formation.
• The pectin present in properly matured fruits forms a solution with water.
• In the presence of sugars and acids present in fruit, the pectin sets into a jelly.

Additional InformationPreparation of jam:

1. Ripe fruits are selected and thoroughly washed to remove dust.
2. Fruits are chopped, mashed, or diced.
3. If the fruit has little to no juice of its own, a small quantity of water is added.
4. Sugar is added in proper quantity.
5. The finished product should contain 30-50% invert sugar to avoid the crystallization of cane sugar in the jam during storage.
6. If the fruit is deficient in acid and pectin, commercial preparations are added before the addition of sugar.
7. The mixture is immediately heated with constant stirring.
8. After that, packed in jars and are pasteurized for about 30 minutes.

The Correct Answer is ​Industrial units.

Important Points

• Haryana Agri-Business and Food Processing Policy came into effect in 2018 it covers the enterprises in Agriculture and allied sectors such as Horticulture, Animal Husbandry, Dairy / Poultry, Fishery, etc.
• Agro and Food Processing Units, All Agriculture and Cooperative Institution of farmers, milk producers, fishery/poultry, etc., Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) are eligible to avail the incentives in this policy.
• Ancillary units such as Food Packaging facilities/Food Packaging companies etc. will also be eligible for incentives under the policy.
• Industrial units not eligible for benefits covered under this policy including market fee exemption. 

The Correct Answer is 14%.

Additional Information

• The food processing industry is one of the largest industries in India and ranks fifth in terms of production, consumption and exports. As per the latest data available, food processing sector is expected to reach US$ 258 billion in FY15.

• In FY16* (till December 2015), food processing industry constituted 14 per cent to India’s GDP through manufacturing.

• Pasteurization refers to the process of heating the milk and again cooling it down so that the microorganisms present are killed. This process is followed in order to increase the shelf-life of milk and also the quality of milk products. 
• Temperature range needed for pasteurization of acidic vegetable products is 116 – 121°C. When the pH of the food is below 4.5, spoilage microorganisms and enzymes are the main targets of pasteurization. When the pH of the food is greater than 4.5, the heat treatment must be severe enough to destroy pathogenic bacteria.
• For pasteurization of milk, it is heated at 63°C for 30 minutes.
• 60°C temperature is required for pasteurization of fruit juices.
• 10°C temperature is enough for killing yeasts, causing non – the poisonous type of decay in fruit products and vegetables.
• Temperature range of 87 – 88°C is required for blanching okra before canning.

The correct answer is Preservation.

• Murabba refers to sweet fruit preserve which is popular in many regions of South Caucasus, Central Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East.
  • It is generally prepared with fruits, sugar, and spices.
  • The technique is called Preservation.

Additional Information

• Conservation is the care and protection of these resources so that they can persist for future generations.
  • Conservation seeks the sustainable use of nature by humans, for activities such as hunting, logging, or mining, while preservation means protecting nature from human use.
• Decomposition is the first stage in the recycling of nutrients that have been used by an organism (plant or animal) to build its body.
  • It is the process whereby the dead tissues break down and are converted into simpler organic forms. 
• Pasteurization is a heat-treatment process that destroys pathogenic microorganisms in certain foods and beverages.

When an apple is cut (or bruised), oxygen is introduced into the injured plant tissue. When oxygen is present in cells, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzymes in the chloroplasts rapidly oxidize phenolic compounds naturally present in the apple tissues to O-quinones, colorless precursors to brown-colored secondary products.

The correct answer is ​Aluminum foil.

• Biodegradable -
  • Those substances can be easily decomposed by natural agents such as water, oxygen, ultraviolet rays of the sun, acid rain, micro-organisms, etc.
  • It is called 'biodegradable'.
  • These complex organic forms are broken down into simpler units.
  • In this way, the soil is once again nourished with various nutrients and minerals.
  • Cotton, Animal bones, and Wood are biodegradable.

Additional Information

• Aluminum foil -
  • It is prepared in thin metal leaves with a thickness of less than 0.2 mm.
  • It is flexible and can be easily folded or wrapped around objects. ​
  • It is mostly used in food processing.
