About Project<\/span><\/h3>\n

Agro Product Development Research Centre (APDRC), is an independent, non-granted unit established for research and development activities for value addition of agro-horticultural produce and inaugurated at the hands of Hon\u2019ble Shri. Sharad Powar there then Chief Minister of Maharashtra State, on 4th April, 1994. The budgetary provision of the centre has meet out from the self-generated revenue and agency funded projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Research and Development Activities<\/span><\/h3>\n
    The first crop tackled by the group of the scientist for value addition was sorghum popularly known as \u201cJowar\u201d and the technology developed for \u201cPreparation of High-DE Liquid Glucose from whole sorghum and other cereals\u201d awarded patent () by Govt. of India. This sorghum processing technology replaced maize in many food processing industries in India for liquid glucose and grain spirit production. The various value added processes and technologies developed by the centre are-<\/span><\/div>\n
      \n
    1. Production of high-De liquid glucose from whole sorghum grain (Patent No. 190562).<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Process for direct conversion of farm fresh turmeric rhizomes in to dry concentrate (Patent pending, C.B.R. No. 663).<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Processes for conversion of fruit and vegetable in to the concentrate with out loosing its colour and flavor.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Time reduction process for preparation of tutifruity from unriped papaya.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. Process for production of ethanol and syrup from sweet sorghum stalk juice.<\/span><\/li>\n
    6. Aonla processing technology (Candy, sharbat & Powder).<\/span><\/li>\n
    7. Small scale, low cost, simple technology and equipment \u201cPKV-Biodiesel Processor\u201d for production of biodiesel from non-edible oil.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
