Free Project Report

Introduction :

Cereals like wheat , rice, maize and millets are staple food grain for majority of population around the world . These are the rich source of carbohydrates and supply of calorie and other nutrients to the consumers. Apart from value addition by processing to traditional products from these grains , development of Newer products offers Variety, Convenience, Quality, Cost efficiency and Scope for increasing nutritional value. In the developed countries many convenience foods are prepared by extrusion process using extruder, as it offers a large number of desired characteristic to be incorporated in the product. NOODLES are a form of pasta that is becoming extremely popular in India even as Continental and Italian delicacy. Instant Noodles is prepared by means of an extrusion machine that is basically made of an stainless steel make strips, either flat(rolled and Cut ) or Oval round(Extruded). The process is quite simple and requires not much skilled labour. The machine itself is high technology and provides the manufacturers to produce pasta with several alternatives materials ( like Maida, Suji, Rava, Rice flour and so on ) and in different shapes ( like Spaghetti, Fettuccini, Vermicelli, Maccaroni, Fusilli, Penne, etc. ) of Pasta and Noodles. These products can be described as Hard, Brittle pieces, Formed into different shapes by extruding , cutting and drying tough dough made from semolina or farina mixed with water.

Market Potential & Scope of Noodles Making Business :


This type of ready-to-eat food items is very popular in the developed countries because of its versatility of form, composition and ease of preparation at consumer end, which has made these products so widely, accepted world over. The popularity of Pasta can be attributed to its sensory appeal, Versatility, Low Cost, ease of preparation, Nutritional content and excellent storage stability as well as increased consumer interest in ethnic foods in the Western world. The inherent blandness of the product makes them congenial with many kinds of adjuncts such as sauces, topping, flavorings, etc. enabling vermicelli Noodles to be used as the basis of different dishes with infinite variations. These dishes are consumed in place of potatoes, rice, bread. Italians are world leaders in the consumption of products with 25 Kg/head/annum followed by USA at about 8.2 Kg/head. Australians and Japanese consume about 3.5 Kg. And 1.1 Kg /head respectively. Although consumption in India is reported to be very low, viz., 80 Gm/capita, their production has increased in the recent past, from 4.73 lakh tones during 1990 to 6.46 lakh tones in 2001. With having Export Market Noodle are projected to become more popular in many of the Asian countries with increased availability of Western foods and higher disposable incomes. Due to improving standard of living in the cities and the rapid urbanization taking place in the rural areas , consumption of these products is widely expected to go up steadily. At present the market of Noodles , specially in the urban areas, is dominated by brands likes MAGGI & TOP RAMAN. Some medium & Small companies are also engaged in its production . The presence of a demand supply gap can be observed which may leads ample scope for a unit to come up in this product sector to cater especially to the semi urban and rural sectors of north India. Besides the boom in the food service sector including fast food chain, has widened the demand potential for Noodles. Experiments have shown that advertisement and publicity have influenced the pattern of consumption of Noodles/ Pasta products. Besides, Noodles/ Pasta products have good export potential especially in the Middle East/ Europe.

In view of above a CPM-PERT Chart has been illustrated below. According to which a minimum period of 227 days is involved in finally starting the project on commercial basis. By following this process a time period of 82 days can be saved.

Noodles Manufacturing Process :


Noodles is the term being used to designate products made from blend of flour , the major component of which is rice flour, buck wheat flour , wheat flour, and from bean , potato , mung bean and corn starch. The major manufacturing process is depend on the presence or absence of gluten. Small amounts of nutrients may be added but these do not affect the organoleptic qualities or processing properties of the material. Water is added in the extrusion step and is removed by drying , except when it is sold as fresh product. Wheat flour noodles are usually produced by sheeting and rolling , while other types are typically produced by extrusion or batter cooking methods. The raw material for Rice noodles is non-glutinous rice which is elastic and enables formation of dough that is easy for extrusion. The Traditional noodles have been modernized and globalised in the form of Instant Noodles. Both rice and wheat flour type instant noodles are steamed and dried or steamed and fried after the cutting stage. The modern instant noodle are steamed and fried in Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil , have a fat content of about 20% and added salt and edible gum and a Shelf Life of 6-8 Month. Instant noodles are fast cooking, needing 2-3 minute boiling or re-hydration in boiling water. Noodles manufactured in different size, hollow as well as solid. The flavour and taste in the instant noodle is created during the re-hydration in boiling water by adding a mix known as taste maker of different flavour and taste having hydrolyzed vegetable protein, Sugar, spices, onion powder, edible starch, oil, citric acid, caramel and salt and added flavour.

Energy Conservation :

The following steps may be taken for the conservation of energy.

1. Machinery & Equipment’s parts, which are revolving and reciprocating should be properly, lubricated from time to time with suitable lubricant oil.
2. Lay out of the unit should be in such a way in that no back tracking of material is there.
3. All electric switches may be kept off, when not required.
4. The entire transmission belt will be tightened before starting the work is wherever applicable.
5. Fluorescent tube with electronic Chokes may be used for energy saving. Further recently developed compact fluorescent tubes called (CFT) of 10,15, watts Philips/Glaux made may be used for energy saving and decoration. These self ballasted fluorescent lamps are high efficiency replacements for ordinary bulbs. For same light output, CFLEBs consume about one-fifth the power consumed by ordinary bulbs, thereby saving a lot of energy. The savings get further multiplied when CLEBs are used in air conditioned areas, since the saving of energy by using CLEBs also corresponds to less heat dissipation reducing load on air conditioners. The life of CFLEBs is about 8000/10000 hours i.e. about 10 times that of ordinary bulb.

The typical payback period in terms of savings of energy bills and cost of ordinary lamps is about 6 months operation. Unlike ordinary bulbs, these CFLEBs provide choice of three colours designated A, B & C, to suit individual requirements.

Electronic Ballast, with protection against high voltage spikes, along with high quality CFLs make these composite CFLEBs (or self ballasted CFLs) Slim, lightweight, efficient and reliable units.

6. As far as possible Solar Energy and day light will be used keeping all the other lights off.
7. As far as possible inductive load of motor will be reduced and high power factor will be used with the aid of capacitors of appropriate sizes.
