What is Syruping? A solution of sugar in water is called a syrup. Syrup is added to improve flavour and to facilitate the heat transfer during processing. Syruping is done only for fruits Syrup is filled hot in cans at about 79-82ºC leaving a headspace of cm (headspace is the gap between the lid of the can and the contents in the can). Citric acid/ ascorbic acid maybe mixed into the syrup to improve flavour and nutritional value, respectively. Citric acid also help in maintaining desired pH <4.5) 6 Canned mango products End PreviousNext

Advantages of Exhausting Exhausting is the process of removal of air from the cans. It helps to: avoid corrosion of tinplate and pinholing during storage reduce chemical reactions between contents and the container minimize discolouration by preventing oxidation retain vitamin particularly vitamin C 7 Canned mango products End PreviousNext

Processing Heating of canned foods for preserving is known as processing. Processing time and temperature should be optimal to eliminate bacteria. Overcooking should be avoided to retain the sensory quality of the product. Mango being acidic (pH<4.5) in nature can be processed at 100ºC or in boiling water. 8 Canned mango products End PreviousNext
