INTRODUCTION
 The processing industry is always looking for way to increase
shelf life and preserve food as well as diversify the ways in
which these goals are accomplished
 Consumer like to see new products and will buy things if
they are more convenient
 In a 'heat and eat' society retort pouch places a great deal of
importance
RETORT POUCH
 Flexible laminated pouch can withstand thermal processing
 Sterile packaging of foods
 Lightweight, high-quality, durable, convenient and shelves
stable pack
RETORT POUCH PROCESSING
 Cooking prepackaged products under high pressure and heat
sterilizes the contents, maintains freshness and increases shelf
life
 Low acid foods
AIM OF THIS…….
 To destroy microorganism by heating
 Thermal processing of food with package itself
 To protect the food from chemical enzyme
 To provide food commercially sterile
 To cook food ready for consumption
POUCHMATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS
 Low gas permeability
 Low moisture permeability
 Low hydrophilic properties
 Heat sealable and sterilisable
 Resistant to penetration by fats, oils
 Physical strength to resist physical abuse during packing,
retorting, storage and distribution
 Absence of solvent residues
 Bonding materials for the laminates must not migrate into the
foods
 High light barrier

ADVANTAGES
 Reduced heating time
 Opens easily by tearing or cutting
 Labels can be printed into the laminate, making them
permanent
 Easier to distribute
 Storage space for empty flexible pouches is also reduced
 Pouches easily flattened and contain no dangerous sharp
edges
 Less energy is required to manufacture pouches compared
with cans
 Transport of empty containers is cheap
 Rapid heat penetration and faster process results in better
nutrition/flavor
 Contents are ambient shelf stable
 Fast reheating of content, No pots to clean
 Non-corrosive
 Eye- catching displays and graphic presentations

physicochemical characteristics of ginger–garlic paste to
produce acceptable, shelf stable product that can retain the
delicate spice odor of fresh ginger and garlic
Materials And Methods
 Preparation of Ginger Paste
 Preparation of Garlic Paste
 Preparation of Ginger–Garlic Paste
 Titratable Acidity and pH
 Total Solids
 Color Measurement
 Volatile Oil Content
 Microbiological Analysis
Results And Discussion
 Moisture and volatile oil contents

It can be concluded that…
 High quality paste could be prepared
 The paste thus produced is acceptable, and is shelf stable
 Therefore retort pouch market drives because of its lighter
weight, and faster heating
CONCLUSION
 The entry of retort packaging has enhanced the acceptance of
ready-to-serve meals
 These pack now putting tough competition to the canned food
because of their flexibility and easy storage

Editor's Notes

  • #5 metal can and the technology of preserving by heating under pressure were developed by Nicholas Appert in France in response to a challenge by Napoleon Bonaparte for a safe and nutritious means of feeding his troops.
  • #13 Air removal to ensure product stability Avoid pouch bursting To assist uniform heating To allow detection of spoilage Pouch should be double selead to reduse the risk of seal defects
  • #17 and therefore have lower transportation costs and require less disposal space
  • #21 Gingerols are the major pungent components of the fresh ginger Garlic contains large amount of sulphur compound, which is primarily responsible for its biological and medicinal properties food packaged in the retort pouches tastes much better than canned products.
  • #22 such as pH, and additives
  • #23 After the preperation of paste Ph OF the smple was adjusted by addition of CA & 3 samples having Ph 5.6,4.5,4 was made .from each of this sample half portion was added with peservative & remaining half portion kept as such.after this each sample was cooked for 2,5 min.
  • #24 VO loss with 1> in thermal process
  • #26 Ph decrs color a,b decrs & L incrs
  • #27 by mixing ginger and garlic in equal proportion hot filling in retort process followed by thermally processing at 85̊Cwith holding time of 2 min. which retains the delicate spice odor of fresh ginger and garlic which lead to better quality in terms of taste and color, and it is environmentally acceptable.
  • #28 not just in homes but for the armed forces located in the remote and inaccessible regions in the country. Retort pouches are used in field rations, space food, camping food, etc. Each layer of the lamination performs different function for the retort pouch.
