Process of manufacturing Jams

Jams are made from fresh fruits or fruit pulps. Jams are packed in either bottles or in cans.

  • The fruit is washed thoroughly to remove dirt and pesticide residue with plain water having a 15-20 ppm of chlorine and finally rinsed in flowing water.
  • Complete peels are removed from the fruits. Peeled fruits are passed through the pulper to get fresh fruit pulp.
  • The required quantity of pulp is taken (45% of the total jam must be the extent of the fruit) and sugar is added to it and the mix is heated in the kettle. After attaining the required brix levels, pectin solution is added to the product. Pectin makes covalent bond with sugar and sets the jam at minimum 65 deg. brix in boiling condition a pH of below 4.
  • Once the jam is made the flavour, color and acidulant are added to it.
  • Jam is packed either in bottles, tubs or jars and goes for cooling.
  • Bottles, tubs or jars after cooling are kept in an incubation period for minimum 3 days and then labeled and packed in cartons for dispatch

Process of manufacturing No Sugar Added Jams

Jams are made from fresh fruits or fruit pulps. Jams are packed in either bottles or in cans.

After attaining the required brix levels, pectin solution is added to the product. Pectin makes covalent bond with sorbitol & fruit pulp and sets the jam at 40 deg. brix in boiling condition a pH of below 4.
  • Once the jam is made the flavour, color and citric acid are added to it.
  • Jam is packed either in bottles and goes for cooling.

  • Fruit is again subjected to visual inspection by trained workers.
  • Selected fruits go into the extraction section for crushing where a temp of 90 ±5° is maintained to inactivate the pectinase enzymes and for obtaining better lycopene content from the peels and also for better consistency in the final product.
  • After extraction, the juice is passed through Pulper where all the seed and fibers are removed and a clear juice is obtained.
  • The clear juice is collected in the steam jacketed kettle and evaporated to required brix by heating.
  • Required quantity of puree is taken and sugar, salt, spices etc. are added to it, along with preservatives.
  • The entire quantity is transferred to a steam jacketed kettle and boiled.
  • Edible starch is added to get better viscosity and avoid water separation.
  • Sauce is boiled upto the required brix (38°- 40°).
  • Edible starch is added to get better viscosity and avoid water separation.
  • Sauce is boiled upto the required brix (25°- 38°).
  • Required quantity of acidulant and spice oils are added to the finished product.
  • Sauce is packed in the vacuum filler and then corked by crown corking machine. Packed bottles are thoroughly cleaned and stored in godown.
