INTRODUCTION

Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) Industry in India

is one of the fastest developing sectors in the Indian economy.

At present the FMCG Industry is worth US$ 13.1 billion and

it is the 4th largest in the Indian Economy. This is due to

the increase in per capita income among individuals and

also various developments in rural economy. The FMCG sector

has changed its strategies and has opted for a more wellplanned

marketing of the products to penetrate both the rural

and urban markets. These products have very fast turnaround

rate, i.e. the time from production to the revenue

from the sell of the product is very less. In the present

economic scenario, time is regarded as money, so the FMCG

companies have to be very fast in manufacturing and

supplying these goods.

The FMCG sector has attracted a large number of

consumers in both the urban and rural sectors in India the

past few decades through better penetration and low-priced

products. Various manufacturers of FMCG products are

concentrating on increasing the sales volume due to the

rising demand of the consumers. Creativity and innovation

over the world, and there is certainly something

about this unique product that holds many mysterious

qualities. Generally candies are available in fruit based

flavors or Milk based flavor and sometimes with centre

filling also. While we often think about candy as a food for

children, we all know that adults love this delicious food

as well.

noncrystalline “glass” that forms the basis of hard candy

number of households in cities, towns and even villages of

India. Bread, poha and biscuits consumption is increasing

opportunities at different levels.

Uses & Applications

for the development of nutritionally balanced protein foods,

which would be within the reach of a substantial portion

of the population in a country like India, can hardly be overemphasized.

MILK POWDER

Dairy products are the major source of calcium as well

as other important nutrients, in human diet and are highly

perishable. Converting milk into milk powder increases its

shelf life and enables it to be stored for extended period

(about 1 year) without substantial loss of quality, even at

ambient temperatures. The dairy-based powders are not

only used for recombination or reconstitution, but they can

be exploited for their intrinsic functional properties for

application as a food ingredient in several “value-added

foods” such as confectionery, bakery, and meat products.

Milk also provides other essential nutrients such as

riboflavin, phosphorus, protein, potassium, vitamin A,

vitamin B 12 and niacin. The calcium from dairy products

is readily bio-available. Milk Powder is the milk that has

been dried or desiccated. This is usually done by heating the

milk. The final product contains less than three percent

water. Milk powder can be prepared from whole milk. Milk

from which fat has been partially removed, or from skim

milk.

Powdered milk or dried milk is a manufactured dairy

product made by dehydrating liquid milk through several

drying processes until it is a powder. One purpose of drying

milk is to preserve it; milk powder has a far longer shelf life

than liquid milk and does not need to be refrigerated.

Property of Milk Powder

The most of important practical property of milk which

can be reconstituted into solution or colloidal suspension in

water, Spray powder usually gives figures of about 99

percent, while roller powders give figures of about 90

percent. It should be noted, however, that the solubility of

a powder may be increase considerably neutralization of

the milk, since the excess sodium irons bring more protein

and phosphate into solution.

GHEE

The word ghee is evolved from Sanskrit word ghrita.

Ghee, the most famous traditional dairy product in India

and many countries in Middle East. It is made from milk,

cream, or butter of several animal species. Ghee is a common

Indian name for clarified butter fat that originated in India

little amount of ghee adds a lot of flavor to the food. Golden

colored ghee is prepared by melting and simmering

unsalted butter until all the water evaporates and the milk

solids settle at the bottom. The remaining butter oil is very

stable giving it a high smoke point which makes it an

excellent choice for cooking. It can be stored without

refrigeration for several months. Ghee is a dairy product and

as such it is gluten free. Ghee is said to be made of saturated

fatty acids but of short chain fatty acids. This makes them

easy to digest. It has a long shelf life if it is stored in a cool

place, using airtight, lightproof and moisture-proof

containers to slow down the development of rancidity.

Nutritional benefits of Ghee

• Ghee is said to be made of saturated fatty acids

the food it is added to, hence making the vitamins available to the body.

gel. Fruits such as apples, crabapples, currants, grapes and

some plums contain enough natural pectin to form a gel;

others require added pectin. Follow the manufacturer’s

directions or tested recipes for each type of pectin.

Acid is needed for gel formation and flavor. The

amount of acid in fruits also varies with the fruit and degree

of ripeness. When using low-acid fruits in recipes without

shampoo is basically a solution of a detergent containing

suitable additives for other benefits such as hair-conditioning

enhancement, lubrication, medication etc. Now-a-days

many synthetic, herbal, medicated and nonmedicated

shampoos are available in the market but popularity of

herbal shampoo among consumers is on rise because of their

belief that these products being of natural origin are safe and

free from side effects. Synthetic surfactants are added to

shampoo primarily for the foaming and cleansing action but

their regular use leads to dryness of hairs, hair loss, irritation

to scalp and eyes.

A good shampoo used to remove surface grease, dirt

and skin diseases from the hair and scalp without affecting

hair adversely. A good shampoo should cleanse hair and

scalp through without stoning or irritation and should not

remove too much of natural oil from the scalp. The success

of shampoo is replacing a cake of soap lies in the fact that

the shampoo is not only a detergent but a cosmetic as well

as that it must import luster beauty and manageability.

triethanolamine lauryl sulphate and its viscosity can

be increased by adding sodium chloride.
