Abstract

The fruit and vegetable processing industry play an important role in processing of agricultural products. India ranks third in the production of dried fruits and vegetables. India ranks third in the production of dried fruits and vegetables. The industry is largely decentralized and India has a large number of small-scale units having small capacities up to 250 tons per annum. The commercial production of processed fruits and vegetables is very low in India, contributing only to around 2.2 percent of the total food production. The growth of this industry will bring immense benefits to the economy, raising agricultural yields, enhancing productivity, creating employment and raising life standards of people across the country, especially in rural areas. The commercial production of processed fruits and vegetables is very low in India, contributing only to around 2.2 percent of the total food production. Dehydrated fruits and vegetables projects are a new product of value addition series where the shelf life is increased & space for storage is reduced along with easy transportation. Demand for fruits and vegetables are prevalent across length and breadth of the country throughout the year. However, due to specific climatic requirements availability/supply of most of these crops is seasonal. So, preservation through dehydration technique can play an important role. Moringa has been used for centuries due to its medicinal properties and health benefits
