Food Processing Industry, Cold Chain and Frozen food distribution systems : A Brief

India has tremendous potential to become the primary source of agricultural products, more specifically food products in the world.It has about 53% of arable land - land available for cultivation of crops as compared to a measly average of about 11% for the rest of the world.It has some feathers in it's cap as the second highest fruit and vegetable producer in the world, 6th largest producer of fish and such like but still doesn't make up to the top 10 food exporting countries.

If it weren't for some severe infrastructure and technology issues, there is actually stopping for this gigantic food bowl.With large tracts of arable land, inexpensive labour and high-quality produce tumbling out of the barns, there is a potential so huge that sometimes, the scope and scale is almost unbelievable.

However, if one had to point out at one single single reason as to why the Indian agricultural industry is such a laggard when pitted against the global standards, it could be the pathetic state of the logistics, distribution and and an inefficient supply chain.India faces an acute problem of large amounts of food wasted away due to the lack of a proper cold storage, cold chain and frozen food distribution system.

If only this was in place, huge amounts of food could have been processed into some kind of value added foods and sold both locally and abroad.Annually, there is usually a large amount of such agricultural produce that is waste away.If there were cold storage systems, efficient cold chain, logistics and distribution companies, it could have been possible to process these primary products into newer, secondary products and resold to consumers locally and internationally.A strategy needs to be carved out for the growth of this industry and a lot of investment action is yet to see some real action.

Investment in cold storage, cold chain distribution, installation of food processing plants across the country, applied research on harvesting technologies an a rapid development of the food retail industry are all necessary steps that would ensure an organic growth in this sector.

What is Cold Chain?

A cold chain is basically a logistics system, which helps in maintaining and providing a series of facilities for ensuring ideal storage conditions for the persihables from the point of origin to the point of sale.A well developed and efficiently organized cold chain reduces wastage, spoilage and helps keeps the perishables intact thereby helping to maintain the quality of the harvested food products ultimately making the whole system cost effective to the farmers and that which ensures top-notch quality to the end user.

Suitable respiratory protective equipment must be worn by every person carrying out engineering maintenance work on any system where there is a risk of release of ammonia.Full face canister respirators with type A (blue) canisters give good protection in atmospheres up to 2% concentration or 20,000 ppm, for one hour.Work in such a concentration is likely to lead to discomfort quickly due to skin irritation as ammonia dissolves in perspiration.A list of suitable equipment is given in form 2502 "Certificate of Approval (Canister Gas Respirators)".For substantial jobs impervious suits may be necessary if the gas cannot be cleared.

Everyone who is likely to need to use respiratory protective equipment must be properly trained in its use and must be fully aware of its limitations.The equipment must be maintained, kept clean and examined at least once a month.Appropriate records should be kept.If canister respirators are used there must be an effective system for deciding when the canisters should be renewed.

7 Benefits Of Eating Raw Foods! Nurse's Secrets!

If you're thinking about eating raw foods or adding more raw foods to your diet, I can tell you from personal experience that when I started eating raw foods many years ago, all my dozens of ailments literally disappeared in the first month.I had a list of diseases including breast cancer, fibromyalgia, GERD, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, sinus problems, headaches, gum disease, etc.Other raw fooders report similar experiences.

Here are just a few of the benefits you may experience on a vegan, living food diet or as it's usually called - a raw food diet:


1.

The most important benefit of a raw food diet is the fact that many ailments, conditions and diseases will disappear.It's established that a plant food diet will boost your immune system and help your body recover from many diseases including diabetes and heart disease.Blood pressure will normalize in most cases.Plaque will no longer build up and threaten your heart and blood vessels.And any plaque that you have now will break up and float away.

2.A raw food diet is a natural weight loss diet.You can lose weight fast and safely.And you'll find that you are healthier than you've ever been at the same time.I lost ten pounds fast by eating only mostly raw foods, no supplements either.

3.A raw food diet provides plenty of the body's requirements for carbohydrates, the right fats and protein.There are hundreds of phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, enzymes, water and fiber packed into fruits, veggies.nuts and seeds.

4.Your immune system will be boosted and you'll be in a better position to fight off any colds, flu or any new diseases that might be thinking about cropping up.You just won't get sick very often or at all if you're eating a raw food diet.It's a natural raw food detox diet too.

5.You won't need all the supplements you're taking.Many supplements try to copy nutrients, vitamins and minerals.But what's little known is that many of these nutrients only work properly with other nutrients and chemicals in living or raw food and many of these have not been discovered.Taking the isolated nutrient may do no good and be a waste of money.

6.You'll likely need less sleep than you do now and it will be rested, refreshing sleep.I started sleeping five hours a night after starting to eat raw foods and still after many years only need five hours a night.

7.You'll find you won't need all the pills you're taking and can get rid of many or all, of them saving you from all the risks to your body that are happening right now that you cannot see!Kidney and liver transplant lists are teeming with people who have damaged their livers and kidneys with pills, medicines and medications, even over-the-counter medications are risky and combined with the wrong medication can kill you.Check with your doctor first before giving any of your meds up though.

There are dozens of other good benefits of eating raw foods, or going on a predominately raw food diet, too many to list here.Just being able to get rid of long held ailments and diseases and enjoying a healthy weight loss should be a good reason to start eating raw foods like I do.
