Food Process Facts
Odor an taste
- While salt and sugar can technically be considered flavorants that enhance salty and sweet tastes, usually only compounds that enhance umami, as well as other secondary flavors are considered and referred to as taste flavorants. Artificial sweeteners are also technically flavorants.
- Ester produces artificial flavor.
3. Many esters have distinctive fruit-like odors, and many occur naturally in the essential oils of plants. This has also led to their commonplace use in artificial flavorings and fragrances when those odors aim to be mimicked.

- Fennel is Sauf सौंफ़.
- Asafoetida is (Heeng) हींग in Hindi.
- Monosodium glutamate (MSG), also known as sodium glutamate, is the sodium salt of glutamic acid. MSG can enhance other taste-active compounds, improving the overall taste of certain foods. MSG mixes well with meat, fish, poultry, many vegetables, sauces, soups, and marinades.

- Enfleurage is a process that uses odorless fats that are solid at room temperature to capture the fragrant compounds exuded by plants.
- Lauric acid comprises about half of the fatty acid content in coconut oil, laurel oil, and in palm kernel oil (not to be confused with palm oil), Otherwise it is relatively uncommon. It is also found in human breast milk (6.2% of total fat), cow's milk (2.9%), and goat's milk (3.1%).
- CBR is a non-lauric Cocoa Butter Replacer (CBR) derived from palm oil.
- Lard is pig fat in both its rendered and unrendered forms. Lard was commonly used in many cuisines as a cooking fat or shortening, or as a spread similar to butter.
- Ethylene is ripening agent in fruits. Acetylene acts like ethylene and accelerates the ripening process, but is inadvisable because calcium carbide (producer of Acetylene) has carcinogenic properties. Use of calcium carbide is banned in certain countries.
Nature of cheese industry in India and Nepal regarding the market potential & scope of the industry in domestic and international circle.
The organised cheese industry in India is at best in its nascent stage
Accounting for under 1% of total dairy production and largely limited to urban consumption. Though cheese was first marketed under the brand name 'Amul', from the popular Amul butter stable in the late 1970s, it attained an identity of its own only as late as 1990s.

Cheese Industry in India as of 2006, is valued at Rs 250 crore (US$ 50 million)
The organized cheese industry in India as of 2006, is valued at Rs 250 crore (US$ 50 million), with a volume in excess of 8000 tonnes. The industry growth rate is estimated at about 10%-12% per year in terms of volume and 16%-17% per year in value terms. Current household cheese penetration is 5%, with about 50% of consumption being limited to cities. Mumbai and Delhi together capture half of the cheese market. Within cheese products, around 60% of the market is dominated by processed cheese, 30% by cheese spreads and the remaining 10% by flavoured and specialty cheese.
