Mango, Food Or Fragrance




Fully matured Mangoes are harvested and quickly transported to fruit processing plants, where they are inspected and washed, selected high quality fruits then go to the controlled ripening chambers; fully ripened Mango fruits are then washed, blanched, pulped, de-seeded, centrifuged, homogenized, concentrated when required, thermally processed and aseptically filled maintaining commercial sterility.

This concentrate is then used to create a drink which is very popular with its many followers who love the sweet bitter flavour of the fresh fruit; it is also used in puddings, ice cream, yoghurt and various bakery fillings, most other parts of the plant are used including the bark, stem and leaves in other processes.

Mango Pulp is made as explained above from selected varieties of Mango harvested in various part of India.

The most popular varieties produced worldwide includes;

• Alphonso Mango Pulp
• Totapuri Mango Pulp
• Raspuri and Kesar Mango Pulp

Usage:

Essentially a prime table fruit, Mango Pulp is perfectly suited for conversion to juices, drinks, jams and fruit cheese or to be had by itself or with cream as a superb dessert. It can also be used in puddings, bakery fillings, fruit meals for children and flavours for food industry, and also to make the most delicious ice creams, yoghurt and confectionery.


The exotic aroma of the product is retained by freezing when being transported. Alphonso Mango Pulp is made from select Alphonso variety mangoes, ripened under controlled atmospheric conditions, it is suitable for blending with other varieties. As explained the preparation process includes cutting, de-stoning, refining and packing. In case of aseptic packing the pulp is sterilized and packed in aseptic bags. The refined pulp is also packed in cans, hermetically sealed and retorted. Frozen pulp is pasteurised and deep-frozen in plate freezers. The process ensures that the natural flavour and aroma of the fruit is retained in the final product.


The Mango fragranced body butter is one of the most popular products in the range of body butters, some say that products enriched with the mango fragrance are good enough to eat. However we do not advise this course of action.
