Manufacturing of Dextrose Anhydrous, Sorbitol & Vitamin C - Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Manufacturing Process, Machinery, Raw Materials, Feasibility Study

Dextrose anhydrous is generally manufactured from starch, basically maize starch. It is manufactured by vacuum evaporation of the dextrose solution and by crystallization. There is plenty of availability of raw materials. The market demand of the above products is appreciably high and these have good export potential also. But the main barrier to produce these products, that there is no available bacterial culture in India and the manufacturers are solely depended upon the advanced countries for the culture. As a whole, this is a good project provided good commercial bacterial culture available with the manufacture. Once, if one can solve the problem of availability of bacterial culture, then it is very profitable sector for one for investment.

STARCH AND ALLIED PRODUCTS FROM MAIZE(Starch, Liquid Glucose, Dextrose Monohydrate, Dextrose Anhydrous, Sorbitol and Vitamin C)- Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Plant Layout

Starch is a group of polysaccharides, composed of glucopyranose units joined together by-glucosidric linkages. It conforms to the molecular formula, (C6-H10O5)n, where n varies from a few hundred to over one million. Starch is found as the reserve carbohydrate in various parts of plants and is enzymatically broken down to glucose to other carbohydrates according to the metabolic needs of the plants. Industrially, starch is broadly divided into two types viz., natural and modified. Natural starches also designated as unmodified starches or simply starches are obtained from grains such as sorghum. From roots like potato, tapioca and arrowroot, and from the pith of the stems of certain palms such as sago. They are further classified into cereal starches and root starches. The characteristics of the natural starches are changed by chemical or enzymatic action and the products of these reactions are termed modified starches. This group includes dextrin, acid-modified starches, oxidized starches, starch esters, starch ethers, dialdehyde starches, and cationic starches. Starch can be obtained from maize, sorghum, roots and tubers such as tapioca, arrowroot, potato and from the pith of the stems of certain palms such as sago. Physical and chemical properties of starch vary according to the raw material from which it is derived. Starch is a high polymeric carbohydrate with the molecular formula (C6H10O5)n where n varies from a few hundred to over one granules, usually made up of both a linear polymer (amylose) and a branched polymer dissolves in hot water. Starch granules gelatinize in water when the temperature is raised to about 60-700C. At higher temperatures they well progressively to form a paste or solution and the shorter, linear molecules dissolve. The solutions form a gel on cooling depending upon the variety and concentration of starch present. Starch is an absorbent for water. Under normal atmospheric conditions most starches contain 10-17% moisture. Starch and Glucose are reserved carbohydrates of plants and are therefore widely distributed in their crude form. They can be found in almost all fruits, vegetables and corns. There is no definite information as to how they were initially obtained. But different countries are known to be using different agricultural sources for production of starch. While Japan and the European countries produce starch from potatoes, America from corn, countries like Thailand and Brazil are understood to be producing starch mainly from tapioca. In the case of India, starch is being produced from Maize as well as tapioca. While the units producing starch from maize are concentrated in large sector, the units producing starch from tapioca are large concentrated in the small-scale sector. Commercially glucose is produced from starch only and these two products are generally made in the same unit side by side. The history of starch and glucose Industry dates back to early forties before the Second World War starch used to be imported from European countries. But owing to difficulties in importing starch and difficulties in continuing the production of cotton textiles (where starch finds its extensive use in the manufacture of adhesives, sizing and finishing in textiles) two units namely Anil starch products with their factories located at Ahmedabad, in the year 1939 and 1941 respectively. Starch and Glucose can be used in different end use industries such as in the manufacture of adhesives, sizing and finishing in textiles, thickening agents in gravies, custards, and confectioneries. Sizing papers, Cosmetics, explosives, reagent, face powders, indicators in domestic analysis, water soluble packaging films, book bindings fabrics, distilled liquors, malt sugar, cattle feed ingredient, rubber reinforcing resins etc.

GOOD FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR MAIZE PROCESSING & ITS ALLIED PRODUCTS (STARCH, LIQUID GLUCOSE, DEXTROSE MONOHYDRATE, DEXTROSE ANYHDROUS, SORBITOL AND VITAMIN C)

Maize (Zea mays L) is one of the most important cereals of the world and provides more human food than any other cereal. Starch is a group of polysaccharides, composed of glucopyranose units joined together by glucosidric linkages. It conforms to the molecular formula, (C6 H10O5)n, where n varies from a few hundred to over one million. Starch is found as the reserve carbohydrate in various parts of plants and is enzymatically broken down to glucose to other carbohydrates according to the metabolic needs of the plants. Industrially, starch is broadly divided into two types viz., natural and modified. Natural starches also designated as unmodified starches or simply starches, are obtained from grains such as sorghum. Starch is also obtained from roots like potato, tapioca and arrowroot, and from the pith of the stems of certain palms such as sago. They are further classified into cereal starches and root starches. The characteristics of the natural starches are changed by chemical or enzymatic action and the products of these reactions are termed modified starches. This group includes dextrins, acid-modified starches, oxidized starches, starch esters, starch ethers, dialdehyde starches, and cationic starches. The roots of tapioca plant (manihot utilissima) forms one of the major sources of starch, ranking next to potato. The starch content of the plant varies between 12 and 33 per cent. The cereal starches, such as maize, wheat, rice and sorghum, are recovered by several processes, of which the wet milling is by far the most important. Starch is an absorbent for water. Starch and Glucose can be used in different end use industries such as in the manufacture of adhesives, sizing and finishing in textiles, thickening agents in gravies, custards, and confectioneries. Sizing papers, Cosmetics, explosives, reagent, face powders, indicators in domestic analysis, water soluble packaging films, book bindings fabrics, distilled liquors, malt sugar, cattle feed ingredient, rubber reinforcing resins etc. Starch in India is mainly used for cotton textile industry, paper and paper products, Biscuits and confectioneries and glucose and dextrose. Commercially glucose is produced from starch only and these two products are generally made in the same unit side by side. One tonnes of glucose needs 1.1 tonne of starch. About 90% of the liquid glucose produced in India is consumed by the confectionery industry. Liquid Glucose and Dextrose are the products of same origin, in liquid form and the late in powder form. Glucose powder (dextrose) is used an invalid food for pharmaceutical purposes. Aqueous isotonic solution (5%) of dextrose is given as intravenous infections to increase the volume of circulating blood shocks and hemorrhage and to counteract dehydration. Vitamin C is a strong monobasic acid and it is used as a powerful reducing agent in neutral and acidic solutions. It is also used medicine. It is an excellent nutritional agent. It is an antioxidant and a preservative in foodstuffs. It is used as a reducing agent in analytical chemistry. The ferric and calcium salts are available for biochemical research. It is also available as the sodium salt. Sorbitol is an organic chemical having varied end uses. It is edible non-crystalline, odorless white powder and having sweet cooling taste. It is highly soluble in water, and slightly in methyl alcohol. In the case of India, starch is being produced from Maize and tapioca. The units producing starch from maize are concentrated in large sector; and the units producing starch from tapioca are largely concentrated in the small-scale sector. There are many units as at present in the country producing starch from Maize and three units producing starch from Tapioca in the organized sector. The capacity for starch from Maize accounts for more than 80 per cent of the installed capacity in the organized sector. As against the organized sector, there are a number of units in the small and cottage sector producing starch mainly from tapioca. As regards glucose it is produced in solid as well as liquid form. The production of glucose is not possible in the small sector and therefore its production is not as widely spread as that of starch. Eight units manufacturing starch in the organized sector also produce liquid glucose simultaneously. The demand for liquid glucose depends mainly upon the growth of medicine, the pharmaceuticals, biscuits and confectionery industries. As such 80% of the total demand for liquid glucose is absorbed by drugs and pharmaceuticals, while only 20% is used in Biscuits, Confectioneries, toothpaste etc. There is a very good scope and ample space in this sector and new entrepreneurs should venture into this field.

Starch & Starch Derivatives (Starch, Glucose, Maltodextrin, High Maltose Syrup & Powder, Dextrose Monohydrate, Dextrose Anhydrate & Sorbitol)- Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey

Maize (Zea mays) is classified into dent, flint, waxy, sweet and pop corn categories. Dent corn also known as field corn, containing both hard and soft starch, becomes indented at maturity. Flint corn having hard, horny, rounded or short and flat kernels; with the soft and starchy endosperm is enclosed by hard outer layer. Both of these varieties are used for industrial purposes. Popcorn has small pointed and rounded kernels with very hard endosperm which on exposure to dry heat popped or evereted by the expulsion of the contained moisture and forming a White starchy mass many times the size of the original kernel. Sweet corn is distinguished by kernels containing a high percentage of sugar in the milk stage and therefore suitable for table use. Indian maize has white, red, purple, brown or multicoloured kernels and is characteristically dent corn. The dent corn is useful for starch processing by wet milling method. Among all cereals, maize occupies the fifth largest in area, fourth largest in output and third largest in yield. India is the tenth largest producer with a production of 11.10 mMT from an area of 6.6 million ha. The average yield in India is 1.77 MT/ha which is very low as against 7 MT/ha in temperate areas of developed economies and 3.8 MT/ha of global average. USES Maize starch chemical formula (C6H10O5)n also know as Corn starch or flour is a fundamental ingredient in most of the packaged food and industrial products; it is extracted from the corn kernel and has a distinctive appreance and feed. Maize starch in natural ,modified, pregeletanised and dextrinised forms provides viscosity, texture and other desired properties to all types of food & paper, products from canned chilled frozen to microwaveable goods, dry mixes and extruded snacks. Practically every industry in existence uses starch or its derivatives in one form or another. Market Survey Starch is not an uniform commodity, however. It is a heterogeneous commodity used in the manufacture of myriad food and non food products. Market demand for starch is strongly and positively correlated with average per capita income. Starch extracted from different commodities has different properties. Many end users require specific kinds of starch for making their products, and therefore demand starch derived from specific commodities. If the kind of starch they require is not available, then starch may undergo further processing and modification. The demand for modified starch is increasing rapidly but is still far below that of native starch (also called primary starch) in developing countries. Further, starch quality may be affected by post harvest practices. India is the tenth largest producer with a production of 11.10 million MT from an area of 6.6 million ha. The quantity of starch consumed in food and non food products in a country is closely associated with the level of economic development and income of that country. As per capita incomes rise, consumers demand a more varied set of food and manufactured products that use starch in their making. Thus, there is a close and positive relationship between income and quantity of starch demanded. Few Indian Major Players are as under: Amaravati Agro Ltd. Bharat Starch Inds. Ltd.

Sorbitol - Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Manufacturing Process, Machinery, Raw Materials, Feasibility Study, Investment Opportunities, Cost and Revenue, Plant Economics

Sorbitol is one of many sugar alcohols found in nature that gets metabolized slower in our bodies than other normal dietary sugars. Also known as glucitol, sorbitol is a result of the hydrogenation of the aldehyde moiety of glucose, giving glucose a terminal hydroxyl group. This is significant in its pharmacology and lower caloric yield. Sorbitol is low caloric refined sugar alcohol, which is produced from dextrose. Chemically it is hexahydric alcohol and is also known as hexatol, D Glucitol and D Sorbitol. Chemically, Sorbitol is a hexitol, C6H14O6, found in nature as the sweet constituent of many berries and fruits best known from Sorbus aucuparia (Rowan or European Rowan) from which it was isolated for the first time in 1872. Sorbitol is today commercially produced from starch by enzymatic hydrolysis and catalytic hydrogenation. It has wide applications as a sweetener and humectant. Sorbitol has a smooth mouth feel with a sweet, cool and pleasant taste. It shares many applications with propylene glycol and glycerine and glycerine provides hard competition in the market for humectants. Sorbitol acts as a crystallization modifier or inhibitor; it can prevent syrups from forming crystals of sugar. It is used to add body and viscosity to mixtures, and can protect against damage from freezing (cryoprotectant) and drying. Applications & Uses Sorbitol, together with other polyhydric alcohols such as glycerol, is one of the ingredients in alkyl resins and rigid polyurethane foams manufacturing. In tobacco industries, sorbitol may give mild effect in sniff, good humectant agent, and avoid acrolein formation which formed in burned glycerine. Sorbitol is used as softener and colour stabiliser in textiles and as softener in leather industries. Sorbitol sweet tastes form a viscous solution, stabilises moisture, possesses bacterio static property and is generally chemically inert. These features and properties make sorbitol an ideal and preferred ingredient in many products. It is being used by pharmaceutical industry, tooth paste manufacturers, food products industry, Oral Hygiene, Skin Cream and Cream Foundation, Textiles, Tobacco, Confectionery, Cosmetics, Emulsion, Diabetic Diets and many others. The increasing use of sorbitol in various end uses has made many big manufacturers to take interest in manufacturing of this. Looking to the trends the world economy. Market Survey Sorbitol is an organic chemical, having varied end uses. It is edible, non crystalline, odorless, white powder and having sweet cooling taste. It is highly soluble in water and slightly in methylalcohol. Sorbitol solutions are high stable. It is marketed mostly in the form of 70 per cent solution. The process involved is very simple, raw materials are indigenously available, technical knowhow is easily available and all these make the project very attractive one. An attempt is made here to study the state and structure of the industry. It is felt that sorbitol will have a very good future. The demand for sorbitol would depend upon the development of its end uses and the shape these end uses industries are likely to take in the future. Pharma and the dentifrice sector are expected to continue dominating the market for sorbitol. A newly developing outlet for sorbitol is its use in producing clarifying agents for polypropylene. Clarifying agents enable polypropylene to substitute for higher cost polymers in food packaging, drinking cups and house wares. Demand for transparent packages and resin moldings are increasing worldwide. Few Indian Major Players are as under: Amaravati Agro Ltd. Gayatri Bioorganics Ltd. Gulshan Polyols Ltd.
