Abstract

Farmers facing current economic realities are searching for new options of surviving and expanding their business. One of the many opportunities to grow markets, turnover and profits is be adding value to farm produce. Options need to be selected carefully based on sound information and knowledge of the opportunities presenting themselves seen in the light of the strengths and weaknesses of individual farms. Food processing takes place on various scales: small-scale processing usually takes place in the household kitchen, whereas larger scale food processing is done in factories and bakeries. However, regardless of the scale of food processing being undertaken, the processes involved are the same. These processes are known as unit operations and are carried out in sequence. The aim of this document is solely to provide the reader with some basic information on food processing in order to realize the extent of the operations involved in the manufacture of deciduous fruit products. The needs and values of every individual processing entrepreneur is unique to the individual and can only be addressed properly by a team of experts. This document does not cover any legal aspects, international, national or local laws, quality management, marketing, financing etc. It is to be used solely as an oversight on the processing of deciduous fruit, including apples, apricots, figs, grapes, pears, peaches and plums and is to be used as a starting guide from where an interested party can gain a brief overview of the extent of products and processing options available for processing these fruits.
