11. Project Summary
Fruits contribute to the supplementary diet of human population, with
accessory nutrient factors exerting health values, (such as carotenoids, ascorbic acid,
pigments, polysaccharides, soluble and insoluble fibre ,minerals, phenolics,
flavoniods, terpenes and so on),based on a spectrum of chemical constituents so
characteristic of each species/variety. A meticulous combination of selected isolated
fractions from such of the selected fruits like species of citrus, banana, papaya, mango
and mangosteen, for a selective combination of sets of identified bio-functional
compounds as supplementary and complimentary to daily human requirements, based
on rationale of sensory score to develop liquid, solid and semisolid processed
products, with extended storage life would be the focus of the proposed project.
Experiments to retain ascorbic acid whilst processing ,akin to respective fresh fruit
further with added daily recommended doses ,and to obtain processed products to
contain xanthones ,selected flavonoids ,amino acids ,phenolics, glycosides,
polysaccharides, glycopeptides, terpenoids and inorganic ions, for acceptable texture,
structure ,flavor and taste would be the target . Each of the products would be labeled
for its special and vital property responsible compounds originating from the fruit
(pulp/juice/seed/peel/rind etc.,) parts. This would involve knowledge of chemistry and
[processing for diverse range of products, underlined by the impacting study of
retention, detention, transformation or loss of the target compounds, during
processing, and storage, so that the final processed products would be a composite of
factors contributed by fruits not available throughout the year in all geographic parts of
the world. Accordingly, the project proposal would involve work components specially
addressed by a Food research Institute and accordingly this proposal from CFTRI that
has completed sixty years of its service to the mankind.

PART-III: Technical Details of the Project (Under the following heads on separate sheet)
16. Introduction
India is like a sub-continent, with great variations in agro-climatic
conditions and accordingly capable of producing a wide range of fruits. Mostly, they
are seasonal, may be tropical, subtropical or temperate. India is the second largest
producer of fruits in the world, next only to China with estimated production figures of
75 mt (FAO 2012).India is the largest producer of mango and banana, estimated
production figures of 16.34 and 31.89 mt known for their exotic varieties of excellent
taste. Species of citrus and grapes account for > 6 mt, whereas pomegranate
production is fast picking up, along with existing pineapple cultivation for yield of ~
2mt. India currently has recorded production of ~ 4.71 mt of papaya, ranking first
place in world(FAO,2012).Besides, the country is known for production of apple
,fig,cherry,cashew,sapota,guava,annonas,carambola,mangosteen etc.,in relatively
lesser quantities ,in certain areas and seasons only.
However, currently food consumption is viewed from the angle of
health benefits, and fruits and vegetables in turn are emphasized since they serve
to supply accessory factors to cereal diets ,supplementing and complementing a
great variety of minerals ,vitamins,fibre,phenolics ,anthocyanins ,flavonoids
,xanthones ,citrus compounds ,carotenoids ,betalains and so on. Fruits and
vegetables due to their high moisture content and faster rate of metabolic activity are
8
highly perishable. About 25% of the fresh produce is estimated as under loss every
year, equivalent to a loss of ~ Rs. 25,000 crores. Even conservation of the loss @ 1
% would amount to saving of Rs.250 crores.
To meet daily requirements, it is a combination of very many of the
individual nutrients in defined proportions. Accordingly, the fruit sources vary in
relation to their nutrient /nutraceutical contents and processing into definite products
derived necessary to meet the needs of populations bereft of producing such fruits
and even otherwise due to seasonal production. This would ensure availability of
processed products alround the year. This takes us to study the influence of
processing conditions on the retention, detention, and transformation of bioactive
compounds. Storage stability also needs definition. It is along these lines, the current
project proposal is programmed to supply a said course of nutrients per day to
supplement the cereal diet, from fruits. Five products are finally projected for
formulations, definition of body requiring nutrients /nutraceuticals, taste, influence of
processing and storage stability followed by details of cost of production.
16.1 Origin of the Proposal
India leads in the world production of mango, banana and papaya with
estimated production figures of 16, 32 and 4.7 million tonnes, sharing ~ 40, 32 and
25% of the world production (FAO, 2012). Still, the exports of fruits and vegetables in
fresh and processed form are 20.72 and 8.27 lakh metric tonnes respectively for
earning of Rs.3855 and 3500 crores (2010-2011). Thus, these figures are
proportionately very low and there is considerable scope to raise these values.
Further, different fruits are produced in different geographic parts of the country and
in different seasons. Each fruit and specifically some fruits are known for specific
biofunctional compounds and accordingly, to a resident of any geographic place in a
place, availability of a set of fruits of health value is not a possibility. Processing
9
them into products would extend storage life, however, to ensure retention of target
compounds is seemingly a very very difficult task. It is in this context, present
project proposal is programmed to meet these demands and requirements. This
would make trade also economical for domestic / overseas. It also serves to
improve the economic status of rural populations, for producing quality raw-
materials. The urban sectors play the role of primary and secondary processing,
with involved scope for increased employment and revenue generation through
domestic and foreign trade. This has a main emphasis on making available a set of
nutrients, from a combination of various fruits as per prescribed FAO guidelines, with
defined labels of compounds of nutraceutical value that makes a person able to
access his desired nutrients / nutraceuticals, at one given stretch, irrespective of
season and place of production.
16.2 Definition of the Problem
Fruit contributes to the supplementary diet of human population, with
accessibility of nutrient /nutraceutical factors[exerting health values such as
carotenoids, ascorbic acid, pigments, polysaccharides, fibre(both soluble and
insoluble],minerals, phenolics, flavoniods, terpenes , synephrine, neodiosmin and so
on),based on a spectrum of chemical constituents so characteristic of each
species/variety. A meticulous combination of selected isolated fractions from such of
the selected fruits like species of citrus, banana, papaya, mango and mangosteen,
based on rationale of sensory score to develop liquid, solid and semisolid processed
products, with extended storage life would be the focus of the proposed project. Each
of the products would be labeled for its special and vital property responsible
compounds originating from the fruit (pulp/juice/seed/peel/rind etc.) parts. This would
involve rich knowledge of chemistry and [processing for diverse range of products,
10
underlined by the impacting study of retention, detention, transformation or loss of the
target compounds, during processing, and storage. Thus, the project proposal would
involve work components specially addressed by a Food research Institute and
accordingly this proposal from CFTRI that has completed sixty years of its service to
the mankind.
To retain vitamin C, carotenoids and anthocyanins despite processing
conditions, formulations to comprise a set of bio-functional compounds, at
concentrations recommended for nutri /nutra values.
16.3 Objectives
1. Study of specific varieties of fruits of citrus, banana, mango, papaya, and
mangosteen, for their specific bio-chemical and bio-functional constituents
(from pulp, peel, seed, rind etc.).
Identification of suitable varieties of fruits for target compounds in
relation to display of bio-functional properties.
2. Food formulations based on sensorially compatible fruit products along
with recommended nutrients and nutraceuticals derived from fruit bases.
Processed food formulations to contain bio-functional components for
a study of influence of processing conditions.
3. Study of storage life of the processed composite fruit products for
microbiological and bio-functional qualities, with a final labeling of the key
chemical components.
Pilot scale studies to work out the cost economics for preparation of
Detailed Project report (DPR) for technology transfer.
11
16.7 Preliminary work done so far:
a) Components of 70% ethanolic extract of mangosteen fruit rind (~62% of fruit
as inedible residue) are studied for their phenolics, both free & bound.
b) Bio-functional properties of naringin, hesperidin and limonin of citrus species
are evaluated.
17. Review of the current status of Research and Development in the subject
17.1 International status
Various components of fruits are known for different bio-functional
properties.
Fresh fruits in general are a source of ascorbic acid .Due to the role of
ascorbate in protecting cells against oxidative stress and the involvement of ROS in
neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases) or inflammatory
response (arteriosclerosis), it is strongly suggested that vitamin C could prevent heart,
chronic inflammatory, and neurodegenerative diseases . Vitamin E (tocopherols and
tocotrienols) is present in all cell membranes and plasma lipoproteins, especially in
red blood cells of the human body. As the major lipid-soluble chain-breaking
antioxidants in humans, vitamin E protects DNA, low-density lipoproteins, and
polyunsaturated fatty acids from oxidative damage.Chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid
inhibit N-nitrosation reaction and prevent the formation of mutagenic and carcinogenic
N-nitrosocompounds. Polyphenols have been acknowledged to have health beneficial
effects, owing to derived products such as flavonoids, tannins, coumarins and lignans
(Lee et.al, 2010). Carotenoid-rich diets are correlated with a significant reduction in
the risk for certain cancers, coronary heart disease, and several degenerative
12
diseases. Carotenoids have demonstrated anticancer and anti-mutagenic properties.
Some sterols are provitamins upon skin exposure to UV radiation, they may give rise
to calciferol, also known as vitamin D2, which is involved in the absorption of calcium
and bone growth. Plant sterols possess, moreover, cholesterol-lowering properties
and play a positive role by decreasing the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
Being structurally similar to cholesterol, they can compete with cholesterol, thus
limiting its absorption from fat matrices into the intestinal tract. Plant sterols have been
hypothesized to have anticancer, anti-atherosclerosis, anti-inflammation, and
antioxidant activities (Patil et.al. 2009).
A reduction in the prevalence of certain forms of cancer has been
attributed to the anti-carcinogenic properties of certain glucosinolates and their
breakdown products. Glucosinolates act by activating enzymes involved in the
detoxification of carcinogens and by providing protection against oxidative damage.
Certain glucosinolates have been observed to inhibit enzymes involved in the
metabolism of steroid hormones (Poiroux-Gonord et. al., 2010). Resveratrol has been
identified as one of the major active compounds of stilbenes found in grapes, grape
products, crane berries, and strawberries. Positive effects of resveratrol on health
include the prevention of cell oxidation through resveratrol antioxidant properties ,
ability to stop pain, stop the growth of bacteria that cause stomach ulcers that can lead
to cancer, protect immune cells, protect DNA, protect skin cancer, as well as being
cardio-protective, antitumor, estrogenic, anti-platelet and anti-inflammatory
actions(Tosun and Inkaya , 2010). Major natural antioxidants found in fruits and
vegetables may be used in promoting cardio-health. Since different food categories
possess different bioactive compounds with various antioxidant capacities, specific
foods, when consumed together, may produce synergistic antioxidant interactions and
in turn have more positive physiological effect on cardio-health than when consumed
13
alone (Wang et. al., 2011). Ethanol extract of F.religiosa exerted hypolipidemic and
antioxidant effects (Hamed, 2011). Work to identify potential sources of bioactive
compounds through the determination of flavonoids and ellagic acid contents and the
in vitro anti oxidant capacity and -glucocidase and -amylase inhibitory activities of
Brazilian native fruits and commercial frozen pulps is reported (Goncalves et. al.,
2010).
Antioxidant activity is proportionate to the content of flavonoids and
proliferation inhibition ability is proportionate to the content of both flavonoids and
limonoids (Patil et.al. 2009). Ripe papaya fruit contained 132-166 μg retinol
equivalents per 100 g of fresh weight (Schweiggert et. al., 2012).Stage of ripeness
significantly influences the contents of bioactive compounds in papaya fruit (Gayosso-
Garcia Sancho et .al. 2011). Naringin was the predominant flavanone in pummelo
varieties (Zhang et. al., 2011). Phenolic rich fractions were condensed tannins with
structural heterogeneity in monomer units, degree of polymerization and interflavan
linkages in mangosteen fruit rind with condensed tannins predominately that contain
procyanidins with a significant amount of propelargonidin (Zhou et. al., 2011). Fibre
rich powder from Mangifera pajang peels is a rich source of dietary fibres, antioxidants
and other bioactive compounds that can be incorporated with food products to
improve the nutraceutical properties of these products (Hassan et. al., 2011).The
tested phenolics in Phyllanthus emblica fruit showed strong radical scavenging
activity, good potency to chelate Fe2+ and good inhibition ability of lipid peroxidation
(Luo et. al., 2011). Mango fruit fiber is a source of phenolics,carotenoids,minerals and
fibre both soluble and insoluble ,with sufficient flavor ,for development of bakery
products.
The increase in number of scientific papers published for the last
two decades correlating diet and some chronic diseases has shown extraordinary
14
possibilities of foods to support, or even to improve, our health. As a consequence,
nowadays, there is a huge interest among consumers and food industries on products
that can promote health and well being. These foods have been genetically named
“functional foods” (Plaza et.al. 2008).
Large number of classes and representative examples of
compounds from various segments of foods are being investigated for their possible
role in human health. Behaviour of compounds on isolation, and in situ along with
others could differ and this needs detailed study. In vitro assessments need to be
followed by animal experiments and final confirmation comes out by feeding to human
subjects. Accordingly, the series of study is quite long and worth undertaking
.Eventually, it is a combination of different classes of compounds related to the food
sources, whose consumption should yield to the benefits of health. Thus, it is a
synergy of vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, phenolics, pigments, peptides
polysaccharides, fibre (soluble and insoluble) and so on, geared towards human
health. Influence of processing conditions on the retention, detention, and
transformation of the target compounds is worthwhile exploring further. All these
indicate promising future and evidently confer to the health benefits of components of
dietary foods (Rajarathnam et.al.2012).
17.2 National Status
Several laboratories are processing fruits and vegetables for routine
products like beverage, jam, jelly or dehydrated. This has little or no emphasis on
active ingredients that each fruit is known for. Particularly the effect of processing
conditions and storage period influence vividly and very distinctly retention
/transformation of the target nutrients / bio-compounds. Whilst requiring to combine a
15
range of compounds, it is necessary to combine a range of fruits, with needed extra
supplements, to mold definite and precise products subjected to various processing
conditions. This would involve primary processing, secondary processing, storage,
and cost of production /selling price for cost economics. This would serve to reduce
the field perishability, ensure the farmer suitable returns, promote production by the
masses than production enmasse.The present project proposal is programmed along
these lines to benefit the farmers, processors, marketers and consumers.
However references dealing with some of the biofunctional properties
including cytoprotectivity from mango peel are reported (Ajila et.al. 2007). Use of
mango fruit peel powder for preparation of macaroni (Ajila and Prasada Rao, 2010)
and biscuits (Ajila et.al. 2008) is worked out. Functional properties of banana
pseudostem and rhizome are studied (Saravana, 2011).
17.3 Importance of the proposed project in the context of current status
Anticipated products and processes of practical/technological
utility / socio-economic relevance expected to be evolved by pursuing the
project
India is mainly and basically known for its agriculture, wherein fruit
production is a means of earning to the thousands of farmers. Due to great variations
in agro-climatic conditions, because of geographical differences, India is like a sub-
continent, wherein great diverse range of fruit crops is produced. India represents the
second largest producer of fruits in the world with estimated figures of 75 million
tonnes; however, its processing is only about 3% and export trade is <10%. Thus,
there is ample scope to identify, collect, pre-treat, primary process followed by
secondary processing, with a focus on bio-functional constituents, to reach reduction
in bulk and ready to consume products, to serve transportation and trade over
16
distance and time. This would ensure also availability of such of these fruit products
to such of those geographic areas of world bereft of the fruit under question. Thus,
eventually, this cycle of events centers a) around the farmer / producer to raise his
economic standards through ensured selling at reasonable rates and b) surrounds the
urban processing industries to cater to the needs of populations looking for ready to
consume, bio-functional processed compact products with extended storage life, for
trade even outside the country despite the increased costs and reasonable value
addition. Streamlining the step – wise operations, would greatly impact the producers,
processors and the consumers. This essentially underlines the improvement,
betterment and growth of country’s economy.
17.4 Expertise available with the proposed investigating group/institution in
the subject of the project.

18. Work Plan
18.1 Methodology
Proprietary / Patented items, if any expected to be used for this project.
1. Processing of selected fruits and their isolated fractions in combinations to label
the products specifically for the identified biofunctional constituents, and
product formulations and optimization of processing conditions to retain the
target biofunctional components, their confirmation through chromatographic
studies.
2. Definition of storage life of products based on microbiological and chemical
qualities and bio-functional properties.
3. Scale-up studies of at least five products in pilot plant and details of cost
economics and DPR preparation.
Definition of the isolated fruit fractions for a set of identified bio-functional
properties and influence of processing conditions would form the alternate strategy, to
develop value added products for retention of target compounds.
.
18
18.2 Organization of Work elements
1. S.Rajarathnam: Planning, co-ordination, chemistry, and influence of
processing conditions on retention of target compounds.
2. M.N.Shashirekha: Execution, chemistry of selected fruits for their
components, formulations and processing.
3. L. Jagan Mohan Rao: Chromatography, MS data interpretation
4. Shylaja M.Dharmesh: Bio-functional activities of target compounds in select
fruits.
Eventually, by the end of project period, at least five products
would be released with five processes, with DPR.
18.3 Suggested Plan of action for utilization of research outcome expected
from the project
Basic / Applied Research outcome:
Research on extraction, fractionation and characterization of target of
components from formulations of selected fruits / their parts would cover the basic
aspects of investigation that would be published, in renowned journals. So also
establishment of biofunctional properties of the fruit constituents, particularly after
incorporation into processed products falls under basic research. These aspects
would be covered under Ph.D. works of the three research fellows to be appointed
in the project. Product formulations, processing conditions followed by scale up
work in pilot plant with product labeling and storage studies cover the applied
research.
19
Thus, the project proposal would encounter both basic and applied research,
qualifying the three RFs for Ph.D degree on one hand and release of 5 novel
processed biofunctional labeled products to the market (domestic / overseas). Non-
obvious research findings would be covered under IPR, for filing the patents.
Outcome:
The proposed project proposal would focus on the development of processed
products from selected fruits (from pulp/juice, peel, seed and rind) in meticulous
compatible acceptable sensorial combinations, to ensure the retention of target
compounds of bio-functional importance, during processing and storage. This
would be of great help and aid to benefit the growers /farmers to look for diversion
of their produce for transformed forms of products for extended storage life and
value addition. This would be marketed over distance and time, and thus favors
overseas trade too. Accordingly, the proposal serves to benefit both the rural
sectors of fruit production and the urban sectors of processing and consumption.
At least five products of bio-functional value, with extended storage life and
value addition would be evolved during this investigation, as something different
and as “Newer introductions into the market”.
