CARD-KVK participated the exhibition on value addition on jackfruit

CARD-KVK participated the exhibition on value addition on jackfruit in connection with workshop on agro processing and value addition strategies and action for 12^th five year plan at Vellanikkara.  Ms. Shana Harshan, Subject Matter Specialist (Home Science) presented paper on value addition in jackfruit during the technical session.

Value addition of jack through dehydration

It is observed that jackfruit is considered as a menace during its plentiful availability during April to June month.  But during off seasons there is a great demand for jackfruit. To ensure the year around availability of jackfruit, viable primary processing technology for dehydrated jackfruit (tender jack, raw jack, ripe bulbs and jack seed) has to be promoted. This will enable continuous supply and availability of more than a dozen of jack products in the market throughout the year or as such it can be marketed. 

VALUE ADDITION OF JACKFRUIT THROUGH "READY TO COOK" PRODUCTS

• Added value to Koozha variety where  ripe fruit  largely gets wasted.
• Organic alternative for other vegetables
• Rich in dietary fiber so  good for persons having diabetes and constipation
• These products can be dehydrated and be used during off-season.
