RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT- Agro processing - Waste to wealth

 

One of our main objectives is to convert any process waste in to wealth. We envisions in converting agricultural waste into high value products. Over five years research work in screening more than 600 varieties  of agro wastes such as husk, hulls, bran, straw, pod, and leaf as inexpensive source of renewable cellulose and lignocelluloses effected the feasibility of  dietary fibers production in India.

 

The research has led to development of cost effective and economic process for the production of soluble and insoluble dietary fibers. We have has registered process patent with government of India patent office.

DIETARY FIBERS DERIVED FROM BENGAL GRAM HUSK AND PROCESS THEREFORE.

 

Currently we are exploring suitable funding proposal to study the advantageous of Dietary fibers to reduces the risk of colon and rectal cancer, high cholesterol levels, diabetics and obesity.

 

Bengal gram  Potential in South India

 

India is the fifth largest legume produced in the world. India has been one of the leading producers of Bengal gram for several decades, accounting for nearly 68.13 % of the world production. Tamil Nadu is one of the largest dhal processing states with the dhal processing facility that ranges from cottage industries to state of Art and modernized manufacturing plants 10,000 to 1, 00,000 tons/annul of Bengal gram

 

                                                                                                                                        

 

Dha processing industries accumulate huge quantity of Bengal gram husk. We have identified the true potential of the husk of Bengal gram contains essential non-glycemic, dietary cellulose fibers, which can be used in daily diet to control obesity. We developed a process and patented the technology for the converting husk of Bengal gram to insoluble dietary fibers and micro-crystalline dietary cellulose.

 

Garlic fiber Potential from South India

 

Garlic (Allium sativum) belongs to Alliaceae family. SPIC Board of India (Ministry of Commerce & industry and India) has reported that the major Garlic producing states are Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab and Haryana. The peel and husk of Garlic is considered as waste and discarded as it is or limited use in cattle feed, Microcore envision the conversion of the waste in to wealth by adopting suitable technologies to produce high water and oil absorbing dietary fibers.

Application No.1167 /CHE/2012

ODORLESS INSOLUBLE FIBERS FROM PEEL AND HUSK OF GARLIC, ALLIUM SATIVUM                                

Our invention describes an efficient process to recover insoluble dietary fiber at low cost and for various size distributions from garlic husk. The processed fiber is of high purity that has eight folds of water absorption and seven folds of oil absorption for Good creaminess and emulsification was achieved with the Allium sativum fiber. The excellent water and oil absorption has effected found  incredible applications in Cheese manufacturing.
