Wonder Fruit: Blueberry

Blueberry Card
As the name suggests blueberries are the perennial flowering plant berries which have a peculiar blue or purple colour. These berries have a slightly sweet taste with a bit of acid which gives it its unique flavour. But there are a hundred types of blueberries and their flavour vary from type to type. Some taste sour and some taste sweet but the majority of blueberry tastes sweet.


Blueberries are one of the wonder fruit that is present on this planet. Even though they cost a little more when compared with fruits such as apple, mango, banana, etc. but their properties support their cost. Blueberries have powerful health benefits, having a nutritional profile consist of high fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K and manganese.

Health benefit of blueberries consists of their antioxidant properties which are believed to be best among most of the fruits consumed. This antioxidant property helps in reducing the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer (for those who don’t know about Alzheimer, it’s a progressive disease that destroys a person’s memory and other mental functions.). Antioxidants also have a protective effect on the brain which helps in memory retention and sharpening of mind.
Another benefit it shows is on the immunity system. Some studies state that blueberries increase the number of killer cells in the body which helps the body in resisting the oxidative stress along with viral infection.

Chitosan: A Solution for Food Packaging

As we are moving forward the problems related to environment are increasing and one of the major issue faced by food industry is packaging. The impact of packaging on environment as well as on food are well known. Due to the presence of petroleum based chemicals and bisphenol A, the non-biodegradable packaging might be toxic in nature and can contaminate the food as well as water. So it is best to find an alternative to such problem. There are many alternatives such as edible packaging, biodegradable phenols, biodegradable starch blends, etc. but today we are going to talk about Chitosan a compound used to make all these films, which is derived from chitin after deacetylation. It has earlier being used in many industries such as medicines, environment, bioengineering, etc. due to its properties. Chitosan has excellent properties of antimicrobial activity, nontoxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, chelating capability, etc. Why I said it’s a solution for packaging in

COLD PRESS JUICE

Juices tend to be fresh with a great aroma which not only attracts people but also helps them in staying healthy. There are many methods by which juices are extracted from fruits and vegetable, two of the most used method in the food industry are hot-pressed juices and cold-pressed juices. In hot pressed juices during extraction heat is being generated which results in oxidation of nutrients leads to nutrient loss. Well for the past few years the world is moving towards the cold-pressed juices which uses the high-pressure processing (HPP)  for juice extraction. Since no heat is formed or applied on the fruit which results in nutrient-rich juice. With R&D in HPP technology, new innovative methods for the extraction of cold press juices are being launched in the industry. With this, the growth of this industry has been massive. People love to drink freshly pressed juices and these cold press juices provide the same feeling to the consumers. Well now let's discuss the proce
