JACKFRUIT PROCESSING
INTRODUCTION
Jackfruit is one of the most significant tropical fruit produced in India. Jack grows
well and gives good yield in warm humid climate of hill slopes and hot humid climate
of plains. Jackfruit is also known as the poor man's food in the Eastern and
Southern part of India. India is considered as the motherland of jackfruit. In India, it
has wide distribution in Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, the
foothills of the Himalayas and South Indian States of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and
Karnataka. The tender fruits of the tree are used as vegetables and the ripe ones as
table fruits. The traditional varieties bear fruits once in a year. Usually, the flowering
starts from mid-November and extends till mid- February, depending on the location
and the variety. The tender fruits come to market from March onwards and continue
till August. The fruits begin to ripe in the month of June. The region comprising
Assam and Tripura produces major share of jackfruit in India and the total annual
production in Assam is estimated to be in the vicinity of 1,75,000 tons. However, the
fruit is perishable and cannot be stored for long time because of its inherent
compositional and textural characteristics. In every year, a considerable amount of
jackfruit, specially obtained in the glut season (June- July) goes waste (30 to 34 %)
due to lack of proper post-harvest knowledge during harvesting, transporting and
storing. Processing is important technique for the preservation of jackfruit. It adds
diversified and attractive food items in dietary menu as well as contributes to
income generation and employment.
This project profile is for setting up of a Jackfruit Processing unit based on 200
working days per annum and 8 working hours per day. The installed production
capacity of the unit per annum is as follows;
MARKET POTENTIAL
Jackfruit is the favourite fruit for many, owing to its sweetness in taste. Jackfruit is
also rich in several nutrients. It can act as source of complete nutrition to the
consumers. The fruit is equivalent to Avocado and olive in terms of the healthier mix
of nutrients for human dietary needs, almost having the exact nutrient equivalents of
mother’s milk. It is rich in vitamin B and C, potassium, calcium, iron, proteins and
high level of carbohydrates, affordable and readily available supplement to our
staple food. It is heavy and bulky fruit and hence transportation is not very easy and
is costly as well. Therefore, its down the stream products with longer shelf-life can
be easily transported and shall also have value-addition.
PROCESS DETAILS
Jackfruit is heavy as well as bulky and actual recovery of bulbs or edible portion
varies from 20% to 25%. Jack fruit is a highly fibrous fruit. It has a thick wasted skin
enclosing seeded fruit pods to which also adhere lots of fibrous tissue. After cutting
the fruit in several pieces, the bulbs are removed manually. As the fruit contains
highly sticky latex, small quantity of edible oil is applied on hands and then seeds
are removed from bulbs.
Process for Jackfruit Chips: Fully matured unripe jackfruit is the basic raw
material for fried jack chips. The edible bulbs from the Jackfruit are extracted by
manual cutting. The fruits are cut along their equatorial axis with the help of a sharp
stainless steel knife smeared with edible oil. The bulbs are then carefully separated
from the rind and placenta. Care should be taken to handle the bulbs with minimum
damage. The freshly extracted whole bulbs are deseeded and sliced as per the
required size by using Jackfruit chips cutting machine to obtain finger chips of size
approximately 15×40 mm. The bulb slices are taken for physical and biochemical
analysis whenever required. The cut bulb slices are blanched in hot water of 90
Degree C, containing 0.1% of KMS for 5 minutes followed by draining at room
temperature for 15 min. A drained bulb slices (250 gm) are deep fat fried using
cooking grade sunflower oil. The Slice: Oil Ratio is maintained constant at 1:4 for all
frying trails at three different temperatures like 160, 180 and 200°C for three
different frying time periods 6, 7, 8 min. The mixture of salt and dry chili powder at
the ratio of 2:1 @ 8 gm/100 gm is added to the fried chips. They are packed in
polythene bags and sealed with sealing machine.
Process for Jackfruit Pickle: For preparing pickle, unripe jackfruits are used.
Apply oil to a knife and peel the jackfruit. Peel the skin. Cut the peeled fruits into 12-
18 mm thick slices. Prepare a 5% common salt solution by mixing salt with water,
50 g salt/l. Place the slices in a container and cover with brine solution. Weigh them
down to keep them submerged in the brine. Drain the slices after 24 hours using a
stainless steel sieve and wash them to remove the excess salt. Grind and mix the
following spices (for 1 kg peeled jackfruit): 2.5 g turmeric powder, 25 g coriander
seeds, 10-20 g chili powder, 10 g salt. 150g sugar. Add the spice mix and vinegar
(10 ml/kg) to the jackfruit slices and cook the mix.in a stainless steel boiling pan for
30 minutes while stirring. Pour the pickle into pre-sterilized jars and seal. Cool the
jars at room temperature, then label.
Process for Jackfruit Jam: Ripe fruits are cut into several pieces and the bulbs
are removed by hand. The bulbs are then cooked for 15 minutes and pulped, the
core being removed. Cut the end of the bulb to remove the seeds, and grind the
bulbs to pulp using a blender. Dissolve 10 gm pectin per kg mixed fruit pulp in some
water and add to the mixture. Add 1 kg sugar per kg mixed fruit pulp and mix. Heat
the mixture in a stainless steel vessel while stirring continuously until the total sugar
content is 68-70º C, pour into pre-sterilised jam jars and seal. The ideal pouring
temperature is 82-85º C. Cool jars at room temperature, then labelling is carried out.
The colour of the final product is yellow, TSS is 68° Brix, the consistency is semi
solid and the flavour is pleasant. But the product is somewhat sticky, so further
refinement of the process is needed to develop a marketable product.
Process for Dehydrated Jackfruit: Cut fruit in half lengthwise, Carve out the core
of the fruit, Scoop out the bulbs, Cut the end of the bulbs to remove the seeds, Cut
the deseeded bulb into 2 or 4 pieces, Blanch the fruit segments by plunging into
boiling water for 2 minutes and cool them rapidly under clean cold water. Place the
blanched segments in a single layer on mesh dryer trays. Put them close together
but not touching to achieve the maximum capacity and an even rate of drying. Load
trays into the drying cabinet and dry at 55º C for 6-7 hours until the moisture content
is reduced to 5%. Remove trays and pack dried fruits immediately in moisture proof
containers e.g. 400 gauge polythene or polypropylene pouches, and heat-seal
them.
