What is Preservation Technology?

Preservation Technology is a process which helps to increase the shelf life of any food product by not changing its texture, colour, taste, odour, or appearance. There are mainly three commercially used methods to increase the shelf life i.e. processing, packaging and preservation with the use of food additives.

Preservation with the use of food additives provides not only a better shelf life but it can also help to improve the product’s texture, appearance, and keep it fresh for a longer period of time. Preservation Technology also helps to prevent major problems like fungus, dryness or loss of moisture, rancidity, and bad odour.

Our Consultation Services for Preservation Technology and its benefits:-

Talking mainly about the Indian Sweets segment and industry, we provide consultation on Preservation Technology that can help to increase the shelf life of Indian Sweets up to 25 - 30 days*, by preventing fungus, dryness, rancidity, and bad odour. This technology is completely legal and approved by FSSAI.

It is very easy to apply and use. There is no need to teach the workers and staff about it and hence Sweets manufacturers can maintain secrecy and avoid unwanted competition.

A major problem faced by Sweets manufacturers is that the stock left unsold at the retail outlet is returned to the production unit. Those sweets are either disposed o or reconditioned. If it is disposed off, then it is a total loss. If it is reconditioned than you are compromising with the quality of the new batch with which it is mixed. If Preservation is done in the first place, then these products will have a longer shelf life and this problem can be avoided.

At the time of festivals, Sweets manufacturers want to start production in advance so that the demands of customers can be met and more production can be achieved. But due to limited shelf life this can’t be possible. With the help of Preservation Technology, advance production is possible.

We also provide scientific knowledge on the use of colour settings in such a way that by minimal use, the desired colour can be achieved and also stay within the approved limit by FSSAI.
