Custard Apple
Pulp Extraction
Technology
Technology Description
The present innovation is on Browning free mechanized pulp
extraction from custard apple and its storage for up-to one year.
A machine has been developed for mechanized extraction of pulp
from custard apple fruit. The machine is in two parts. First part
scoops out the pulp with seed from fruit leaving behind the peel.
The second part separates the seed from pulp which can be stored
for up-to one year by potential users like Ice-cream Industry, Dairy
and Food processing Industry, Bakery and Confectionary Industry etc.
Cold storage temperature required for this pulp is -20 degree oC with -30 C in the beginning (Blast freezing)
Background
There is demand of custard apple pulp, particularly from ice cream
industry but browning of the pulp within hours after extraction was
the major problem. We have developed a technique for browning free
pulp extraction under NAIP, project. This product has passed the
quality standards and the process is ready for commercialization
Benefits / Utility
l Cost reduction in process l Quality enhancement (Hygiene, shelf life,
consistency, texture and structure) l Catering to market needs of bulk
requirement (Manual process is slow and tedious) l Reduction in post
harvest losses l Management of market glut ensuring year round
availability l Reduction in wastage l Seeds available in bulk to needy
users (Shell is used as manures, kernel is used as pesticides after
extracting the active ingredient)Name Of institute:

Stage of development:
Ready to Commercialize
Patent status: Filed

Scalability
The technology is very much scalable. Presently it churns out 150 Kg.
pulp per hour It can be easily scaled up to 2-3 tonnes per day (300
K g / h o u r )
Business and Commercial PotentialCustard Apple based Ice-cream business portfolio of ice cream
companies was at a very small scale before the advent of this
innovation because pulp extraction was done manually which is
tedious, cumbersome and inefficient giving a very low output. The
machine is new and innovative and has mechanized the extraction of
Custard Apple pulp with higher yield, recovery, quality, consistency,
Potential investors to this technical innovation
l Ice-cream Industry l Dairy and Food Processing Industry l Bakery
and Confectionary Industry . l Sweets Manufacturers

FinancialsTotal area required: 200 sq. m (for one tone per day capacity) Energy
requirements:
0.81 Units per hour, working around 9 hours a day=0.81X9=7.29 Units
As one unit of power costs Rs. 6.50, per day cost will be 7.29X6.5= Rs.
4 7 . 4
Cap=One tonne pulp per day or four tones fruits processed per day
For small sized plant (One tonne per day capacity) 200 sq. m land in
custard apple growing cluster=Rs. 7.5 lakhs
Building/civil works = Rs. 10 lakhs
Instruments = Rs. 13 lakhs
The machine and other misc expenses = Rs. 05 lakhs
Target Market / Customer
l Ice cream manufacturers l Pulp manufacturers
Limiting factors for large scale commercialization
l Lack of advertising, promotion, awareness
l Complete and integrated, large scale, multi-location (preferably
near custard apple growing clusters) demonstrations not available
Social impact of the technology
Livelihood security to tribal people, Opportunities for unemployed
youth, Agricultural development (Seed shell used as manure and
kernel use as pesticide after extraction of active ingredients,
Conservation of underutilized fruit species. Increase in farmers
income and living standards of custard apple growers
