An integrated processing method for transforming stone fruits into multiple value-added products based on the principle of zero waste.

Abstract

This invention relates to an integrated processing method for the utilization of stone fruits based on the principle of zero waste. Within the scope of the invention, stone fruits are processed and separated into their pulp, pulp, and seed components. The pulp is used in food production, while the pulp undergoes drying and grinding processes to obtain fruit powder. Vegetable oil is extracted from the inner part of the seeds using a cold-press method, and the remaining seed residue after oil production can be used as a raw material for cosmetics. The seed shells are subjected to controlled drying and roasting processes to become raw materials that can be used in the production of herbal beverages. Through this method, all components of stone fruits are utilized, enabling the production of multiple value-added products based on the principle of zero waste.

Description

Transforming stone fruits into multiple value-added products based on the zero-waste principle. integrated processing method for conversion Technical Field: This invention relates to the field of food processing and agricultural product evaluation technologies. Specifically... Fruit pulp, pulp, and seeds that are produced during the processing of stone fruits. An integrated system based on the zero-waste principle that allows for the separate evaluation of its components. It includes the processing method. State of the Art: Significant amounts of organic by-products are generated during the processing of agricultural products. Especially during the processing of fruits with pits, the pulp, pits, and other parts remaining after the fruit pulp are removed. Parts like the shell are often considered waste. In current practices, fruits are generally processed to obtain a single product, and The remaining components are disposed of without being converted into economic value. This situation both This leads to both economic losses and the generation of environmental waste. In some applications, oil is extracted from fruit seeds or the pulp is used to a limited extent. While it is possible to evaluate all components of stone fruits, an integrated method that enables the systematic transformation of different value-added products It is not available. Purpose of the Invention: The aim of this invention is to analyze all the components formed during the processing of stone fruits. an integrated production method based on the zero-waste principle that enables its evaluation to develop. This method allows the fruit's flesh, pulp, and seeds to undergo different processes. It can be transformed into value-added products such as food, beverages, cosmetics, and the like. Description of the Invention: The invention involves processing different components of stone fruits through controlled procedures to produce different... It encompasses a processing method that enables the transformation of materials into products. In the first stage, the fruit with pits is prepared for processing, and the fruit flesh and the pit are separated from each other. It is separated. The fruit pulp is used in food production to make marmalade, jam, puree or beverages. It can be evaluated in production. The pulp produced during fruit processing is dried at a low temperature and ground into fine particles. Fruit powder is obtained in this size. The separated seeds are crushed to separate the shell and inner parts. 35 are separated. The inner part of the seed is pressed using a cold-press method to obtain vegetable oil. Oil 1 The seed residue remaining after production is used as a raw material for cosmetics or natural peeling. It can be evaluated. The outer shell of the seed is then subjected to controlled drying and roasting processes. It is ground and raw materials can be obtained that can be used in the production of herbal beverages. Example Application: One application example of the invention uses cranberry fruit. The collected cranberry fruits... First, it is cleaned and then subjected to a short period of heat treatment. This process softens the fruit flesh, making it easier to separate the pit. (Heat) After processing, the cranberry fruits are crushed to separate the seeds from the flesh. The resulting... The fruit pulp can be used in the production of marmalade or jam. The pulp remaining after fruit processing is dried and ground to obtain cranberry powder. The seeds are cracked open, the inner parts are separated, and cranberry seed oil is obtained using the cold-press method. The residue remaining after oil production can be utilized as a raw material for cosmetics. The seed shells are then ground after undergoing controlled drying and roasting processes, and Raw materials for plant-based beverages are obtained. Applicability of the invention: Although this discovery was exemplified using cranberry fruit, it is not limited to cranberries alone. It is not limited to that. The method described within the scope of the invention includes cherries, sour cherries, plums, apricots, rose hips, It can also be applied during the processing of olives and similar stone fruits. Advantages of the Invention: This method allows all components that arise during the processing of stone fruits to be preserved. It can be evaluated and waste generation is significantly reduced. Thus, a single It is possible to obtain more than one value-added product from agricultural raw materials. Industrial Applicability: This method is used in food processing plants, cooperative production facilities, and agricultural product processing. It is applicable in their businesses. 2
