Sindur Roli Bindi & Gulal

Sindoor is an orange/red colored powder used by the Hindu community for religious and cultural purposes. Married women may wear sindoor in the part of their hair to indicate marriage status. Women may also w ear sindoor as a dot or “bindi” on their foreheadsfor cosmetic purposes, or, along with men, may wear it for religious purposes. The red colour is connected with rajas, one of the three constituents of prakriti (nature) that is sattva, rajas and tamas. These three constituents of prakriti represent goodness, passion and darkness. Each of these is represented by a colour. White colour is for goodness, red is for passion and black is for darkness and ignorance. These three constituents of prakriti are described in Sankhya philosophy of Hindu religion. The red colour of bindi or sindoor represents the passionate aspect of prakriti. The red implies also love, fertility and strength. Sindoor (vermilion) is sublimed mercuric sulfide and is a brilliant red pigment. Bindi originally is a round mark on the foreheads of Hindu females. Bindi is derived from the Sanskrit word bindu meaning dot or drop. Making a mark on the forehead is a very old tradition among Hindu men and women. The old name for this mark is tilaka. Tilaka is made with coloured earth, ashes of yajna (the fire offering), sandalwood paste or unguent. The term tika or tikka is a distorted form of the term tilaka. The positioning of the bindi in between the eyes is significant. According to the Indian sages, the area between the eyebrows is the seat of latent wisdom. This point between the eyes, known by various names such as Ajna Chakra, Spiritual Eye, and Third Eye, is said to be the major nerve center in the uman body. In the Kundalini yoga and Tantric tradition during meditation, the "kundalini" - the latent energy that lies at the base of the spine is awakened and rises to the point of sahasrara (7th chakra) situated in the head or brain. The central point, the bindu, becomes therefore a possible outlet for this potent energy. Gulal also known as Abeer is the traditional name given to the coloured powders used for the typical Hindu rituals, in particular for the Holi festival. During this festival, which celebrates love and equality, people throw these powder solutions at each other while singing and dancing. Abeer' is made of small crystals or paper like chips of mica. This is usually mixed with the gulal to give it a rich shine. These colors can be used dry, or mixed with water. Colored powder (Gulal) is bought and prepared, long syringes called 'pichkaris' are made ready and water balloons are bought and filled. Gulal powder has always had an important role in Hindu culture and has always been used for religious purposes.

In addition, the processes involved in each can produce nontoxic gases, which when accumulated in high concentrations, depletes oxygen causing a hazardous condition to personnel who occupy the area without proper protection. Moreover, there are several hazardous gases that are the product of mining and mineral processing. These products, which include gases, such as methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulphide (H2S), and hydrogen cyanide (H2CN), require continuous monitoring in order to protect the well-being of mining equipment and personnel. The US, in 2016, had faced a gas leak which was nearly four-month leak in the North of Porter Ranch, which spewed nearly 100,000 metric tons of methane from a ruptured well at the 3,600-acre Aliso Canyon storage facility run by the Southern California Natural Gas Co. The US government has then signed a law that aimed to prevent a natural gas leak, like one that caused thousands of sickened residents to flee their homes around Porter Ranch. Thus, the incidences of gas leaks leading to explosions has emphasised on the need to adopt gas sensors and detectors across work intensive industries, such as Manufacturing, Mining, Oil & Gas.

Production of Dehydrated Vegetables, Mushroom and Soup

Production of Dehydrated Vegetables, Mushroom and Soup. Start a Dehydrating Vegetables Business. Vegetable Dehydration and Processing Factory Dehydrating or drying of vegetables is one of the oldest and easiest methods of vegetable and food preservation. In dehydration water and moisture from a vegetables is removed, which makes them smaller and lighter, as well as stops microbial growth and hence longer shelf life. Dehydrated vegetables can be defined as a vegetable preserved and stored with the help of dehydration technique for a long period of time. There are various techniques of dehydration by which the vegetables can be preserved and can be consumed whenever needed as a fresh vegetable. Due to dehydration process the supply of vegetables is available during off season also. Vegetables are dried so that the storage stability can be enhanced which reduces transport weight also. Quality of dried products and energy consumption depends on the process of drying process. In dehydration process the moisture from the vegetables is removed, which stops the growth of bacteria, molds and yeast which normally spoils the food. Removing moisture from vegetables makes them smaller and lighter. Sun-drying of vegetables is the oldest method used since centuries, various modern techniques have been developed for commercial dehydration of vegetables. There are many benefits associated with dehydrated fruits and vegetables and they are given below: • Storage and preservation: Drying or dehydration is one of the most ancient and traditional methods of preserving food, and it helps remove any extra moisture so as to prevent any spoilage or decay. The foods can be dehydrated using the advanced dehydrators of today and this method makes for a great way or enjoying produce when they are out of season. This is an awesome alternative to freezing or canning foods. • Less Expensive Processed snacks cost quite a bit of money on their own, and healthy and organic dehydrated food cost even more. You can save a lot of money by buying fresh food in bulk and dehydrating it yourself. That way you can take advantage of any deals you find at your grocery store’s produce section by dehydrating it and storing it for later. This practice will also allow you to replace many store-bought snacks. All of this adds up, and you will find that you are spending a lot less in the long run. • Reduces Waste In the U.S. alone, we somehow manage to waste $165 billion worth of food every year. With a dehydrator, you can reduce waste by dehydrating foods that are coming close to spoiling. When your fresh fruit starts going soft, slice it up and put it in the food dehydrators. If you have meat that needs to be cooked, make some jerky. This method can help you from throwing out that sack of apples or bunch of bananas that you forgot about until they started turning brown. Simply slice them up and enjoy them later! • Convenience Dried fruit or vegetables is convenient to pack for anyone “on-the-go” because it doesn’t need to be refrigerated, it’s not messy or sticky, it’s compact and doesn’t take up a lot of space, it doesn’t weigh much, and it provides quick energy. • Nutritional Value Nutritiously, the heat from dehydrating does tend to destroy some vitamins in the food, but fortunately dried fruit retains all of its fiber and iron. Fiber is associated with lowering risk of certain cancers such as colorectal cancer and other gastrointestinal cancers. Also, a home dehydrator is not nearly as harsh on nutrients compared to the commercial process of drying. Dried fruit contains no fat, cholesterol, or sodium. Another perk of using your own dehydrator—you can ensure no additives or preservatives, and also use organic when desired. The food industry is witnessing a substantial growth over the last decade. Dehydrated fruits & vegetables are in high demand among the food processors, owing to the advantage of their out of season availability. The significant factor driving the growth of the dehydrated fruits & vegetables market is the increased shelf life of the product. Increased vegan population and intake of fruits & vegetables for nutrition, are boosting the growth of the market. The development of the food technology is also adding fuel to the growth of the market. The hectic lifestyles of the people, coupled with the changing dietary patterns of the consumers, further are expected to propel the demand for the dehydrated fruits & vegetables, in future. Also, growth of organized retail industry is also one of the factors expected to increase the growth of dehydrated fruits & vegetables market during the forecast period. Mushrooms are grouped as vegetables and are porous, fleshy, spongy, and fruity parts of a fungus. Increased recognition of nutritional and medicinal values of mushroom leads to increase in its demand, which created a new segment called dried mushroom, a dehydrated regular or organic mushroom with no preservatives. The quality of mushroom depends on its desirable taste, aroma, and absence of poisonous content. Mushrooms are becoming popular among health conscious consumers, less sodium content, being gluten-free, cholesterol-free and fat-free, and a rich source of nutrition. The growth of the global dried mushroom market is driven by growing demand for organic food and increasing health consciousness among consumers. The properties of dried mushroom including no added preservatives, natural product, and high vitamin-D content fueling the global dried mushroom market. Macroeconomic factors such as rapid rate of urbanization, increasing per capita income, changing lifestyle, and growing economy driving the global dried mushroom market. Some of the factors trending the global dried mushroom market include mergers & acquisitions between companies of dried mushroom market, high investment in the food industry, and new product launches such as mushroom spices.

Dried soup is an instant soup mix consisting of dehydrated vegetables, meat, grains, legumes, etc. along with flavoring agents and preservatives. The ingredients in dried soup are dehydrated using slow air drying or freeze drying process without losing the nutritious value of the food. They are more nutritious than canned soups which consist of high amounts of sodium and preservatives. Dried soups are considered as a convenience food and are hugely popular among the working class consumers. They are available in two packaging forms i.e. cups and pouches. Dried soup continues to gain more impetus in the F&B sector owing to its increasing popularity among consumers across the globe. It is safe, easy to make, portable and above all, suites the requirements of a modern consumer. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the global consumption of various convenience food items including dried soup. Moreover, introduction of soups that are gluten free and contain more nutritional value is expected to reflect favourable on the sales of dried soup over the next couple of years. As per the recent study conducted by Future Market Insights (FMI), the global dried soup market is set to surpass a valuation of US$ 2,000 Mn by the end of 2022. The study has also identified a number of additional factors that are likely to influence the growth of the market during the forecast period (2017-2022). The increasing demand for convenience food coupled with a rise in disposable incomes and health consciousness among the people drive the dried soup market growth. Strategic partnerships with companies act as a catalyst for the expansion of the industry. However, health concerns related to preservatives added to dried soups for longer shelf-life, tend to restrain the market. The health conscious population is less inclined to opt for such products. To tackle this problem, vendors are introducing organic soups that are healthier than the regular ones. Innovation, in both product and packaging, plays a key role to attract the consumers. Demand for dehydrated dried soups is significantly higher than instant dried soup. Sales of dehydrated dried soups currently account for more than three-forth revenue share of the global dried soup market. Dehydrated dried soups are available in a wide-range of flavour, vegetables, grains, dehydrated meat and legumes. Moreover, convenience of quick and easy preparation afforded by dehydrated dried soups remains highly appealing for a large number of consumers. In many of the European countries, consumption of dehydrated dried soup has been substantially high. By the end of 2017, over US$ 500 Mn worth dehydrated dried soup is expected to be consumed in Europe. Meanwhile, consumption of instant dried soup is likely to remain sluggish throughout the assessment period. India is the world’s 2nd largest producer of vegetables in the world next only to China. But the fruit and vegetable processing industry in India is highly decentralized. A large number of units are in the small scale sector, having small capacities up to 250 tonnes per annum though big Indian and multinational companies have capacities in the range of 30 tonnes per hour or so. Hence India now ranks only third in the production of Dried and Preserved vegetables. World demand for dried and dehydrated vegetables is expected to increase over the long term as industrialized countries develop new markets and end-uses for these products. Being the prime export producers, developing countries are expected to gradually enlarge their share of the total export market. Ultimately, a country’s export competitiveness in this specific product line is expected to be largely dependent on the ability of its producers to provide high-quality products that meet increasingly stringent product requirements. Dehydrated vegetables can be segmented on the basis of their types, application, dehydration technology, and regions. On the basis of product type Dehydrated vegetable market is segmented as organic and conventional dehydrated vegetables. As global consumers are becoming more health conscious and organic food consumption is a trend, organic dehydrated vegetables segment possess major market shares. On the basis of application dehydrated vegetables market is segmented into soups, bakery and confectionery products, infant food products, ready mixes(ready to cook, ready to eat, seasoning, premixes etc.), snack products, powdered beverages and others. Amongst applications market segments ready mixes and soup segments are trending and acquires major shares in the global market. Dehydrated food market can be segmented on the basis of technology which includes spray dried, freeze dried, vacuum dried, sun dried, hot air dried and others. Traditionally among all these segments sun dried process of dehydration was the major segment in terms of usage by food manufacturers followed by hot air dried process. However due to the introduction of new technology spray dried is expected to account for largest share in terms of market revenue contribution, followed by freeze dried during the forecast period. Vacuum dried segment is expected to show a consistent growth as compared to others. Limited usage in food products is expected to be the restraining factor for the growth of vacuum dried technology in dehydrated food market in the near future.
