Arjuna Herbal Ghee A functional ghee along with extract of Arjuna (Arjuna terminalia) endowed with a number of therapeutic attributes including regulation of blood pressure and protection and improvement of heart health. Traditional ayurvedic/ medicated ghee preparations are generally poor in terms of quality (astringent taste) and are costly. Newly developed product has the following unique features Cow cream processed into herbal ghee. Extraction of herb by modified clarification- extraction process. Less energy requirement. Process amenable to adoption for large- scale production. 11

Low Cholesterol Ghee Relished by consumers because of its delicate flavour and palatability. Ghee contains 0.25-0.40 percent cholesterol, a substance considered to promote atherosclerosis (heart disease). Process has been developed for preparation of ghee with reduced level of cholesterol; 80% reduction in cholesterol has been achieved. Product meets standards as laid down by PFA and AGMARK rules for ghee. The Process developed requires little extra equipment and processing facilities. Costs only slightly more in comparison to conventional ghee. 12

Diabetic Rasogolla Conventional Rasogolla Diabetic Rasogolla Fat : 4 – 7% Sugar : 30 – 36% Diabetic Rasogolla Fat: 5% Zero cane sugar High intensity sweetener (Aspartame) and bulking agent (Sorbitol) Shelf-life : 12 days at 30±1°C 13

Long-life Shelf-stable Paneer Paneer is a traditional milk product prepared by heat-acid coagulation of milk, removal of liquid (whey) and pressing of the resultant curd. An innovative approach i.e. in-package thermization directed at coagulation of ultrafiltered milk and texturization has been employed to develop the extended life paneer. The process results in a higher product yield, eliminates whey disposal, extends shelf-life at refrigeration temperature (more than 4 months), offers competitive cost and hygienic quality. Product is fortified with bioactive components contributing to healthfulness of the product in relation to heart diseases and osteoporosis. 14

Ready-to-Reconstitute Rasmalai Mix A pleasurable eatable having a delicate blend of chewy and spongy texture of the patty, and a creamy mouthful and delectable flavour of the creamy liquid. The product developed contains dehydrated - patty and syrup portions that can be reconstituted within 4-5 min in boiling water before the cooling and serving. Distinguishing Features Great consumer convenience: Shelf stable for 6 months at ambient temperature. Export potential, safety and quality. Considerable potential for adaptation by organized dairy industry. 15

Ready-to-Reconstitute Kheer Mix Traditional preparation requires a long cooking time; it is an energy intensive process and the product has a short shelf-life (2-3 days) under refrigeration. The product is a dry mix comprising ready-to-rehydrate rice particles in powdered milk/cream fraction that can be rehydrated by dispersing in boiling water and cooking for 4 to 5 min Great scope for wide-scale marketing or this dry formulation offering considerable consumer convenience coupled with time-saving. 16

Probiotic Foods A probiotic is often referred to as a live microbial food supplement that beneficially affects the host by improving its intestinal microbial balance Probiotic food can be defined as "Food containing live micro-organisms believed to actively enhance health by improving the balance of micro-flora in the gut".  The use of probiotics is now being considered for its many probable health advantages that include: Increase in resistance to infectious diseases of the intestinal tract cancer suppression Decrease in serum cholesterol levels Alleviation of lactose intolerance symptoms Improved digestion, and Stimulation of gastrointestinal immunity among others.

Technology developed for four different food compositions RWGT: (Rice flour + Whey + Sprouted green gram paste + Tomato Paste) RCGT: (Rice flour + Coprecipitate + Sprouted green gram paste + Tomato Paste) BWGT: (Barley flour + Whey + Sprouted green gram paste + Tomato Paste) BCGT: (Barley flour + Coprecipitate + Sprouted green gram paste + Tomato Paste) The above mixtures are fermented both by single culture fermentation and sequential culture fermentation with appropriate Probiotics at suitable conditions.
