| Just as simple as the word processing is, the same implies to our working conditions. According to USDA (standard) Mangoes shall be treated by 48C for 60Min as it increases its shelf life. Our hot water treatment plant is one of its kind and as per the requirements and research preferred by USDA (United States Department of Agriculture). Processing can be briefly divided in the following steps:
Initial Grading
Improper or defected Mangoes are sorted out manually by our experienced workers who are chosen for this specific task. This process lets the only fine quality Mangoes enter the process.
Initial Washing
Mangoes are washed initially with the help of hot water with chlorine 200ppm at 45-48C that let the dirt or other unaccepted material get off from the skin of Mangoes.
48C Hot Water Emulsion Tank
This is the most important step of the Processing. Mangoes are now treated in hot water temperature at 48C for 60minutes in hot water Tank (with pulp temperature 46.1C-46.6C). This activity kills the fruit flies and their eggs as well as the following bacteria: -
Aspidiotus destructor
Bactrocera dorsalis
Bactrocera zonata
Coccus viridis
Dysmicoccus neobrevipes
Parasaissetia nigra
Rastrococcus iceryoides
Sternochetus mangiferae
Thrips palmi
Wax Emulsion Tank
After the Mangoes passed from 48C Hot Water Emulsion tank now they are treated in Wax Emulsion Tank by the help of Wax. The mangoes go through the glowing process that shines its skin. This gives a new look hence increasing Mango’s worth when put out to Sale and also minimize dehydration and controls the respiration process. Also the pores on the Skin of Mangoes are semi-sealed by the help of Wax.
Air Dryer
After the process of Waxing the Mangoes are need to be dried by the help of Air dryer. The Mangoes are then dried which were wet due to the process of Waxing.
Cooling of Mangoes
After packing Mangoes are kept for 2 hours at room temperature in order to make it ready to be kept in the Cooling room. The Mangoes are now kept in the Cooling room at 10-12C.
