Objective
This is a new concept in spices processing, which results into higher production with better end product quality aroma and color, than conventional spices grinding unit. This technology uses liquid nitrogen to control the grinding chamber temperature, the result of which is reduction in loss of volatile essential oils in the spices and higher production rate.
This spice grinding is relatively very advanced technology and hence there are very few units operating at present in India.
Manufacturing process
As indicated previously-This spices grinding technology is new to India, which necessitates import of technology from developed countries like Japan and Germany. This grinding technology reduces the material to particle sizes, which is difficult to attain with ambient temperature grinding in conventional grinding plants. The dry, cold, inert atmosphere, usually generated by a Liquid nitrogen vapor blanket or circulation in the grinder chamber, minimizes thermal reaction with the material and reduces the loss of volatile components from spices during processing.
The advantages offered by this spices grinding technology as against conventional spices grinding technology are as under:
This grinding technology improves the aroma by minimizing the loss of essential oils (approx.3% loss) which is approx 43% in conventional processing. This is important for Cumin processing. Spices are ground to a thickness of 50 microns, as compared to a size range of 500 – 1000 using conventional grinding processes.
Spices processed using liquid nitrogen for grinding has better natural color, as compared to conventional process, this is very much important for Chilly and Turmeric.
Finer particle size can be achieved without aroma loss and natural color change.
Overall grinding capacity can be increased by 2 to 3 times, as process equipments will not have thermal fatigue due to heating up. Fire risks too, are eliminated as temperature during processing is controlled.
This method of grinding enhances unlocking of natural flavors, aid easy dispersion of the same and control flavor strength.
Plant and Machinery
The major machineries required are blower, rotary filter, cooler with liquid nitrogen supply, impact mills, filter etc.
Source of Machinery / Technology
It is important to note here that this spices grinding technology is not available in India at present and there will be need to import it from either Japan or Germany.
Thanks again! We look forward to serving you for many years to come."
Yours Sincerely,
