Blended Spices<br />
Manufacturing of Blended Spices:<br />
Recipe prepara on:<br />
Blended Spices - Introduc on<br />
Spices have a special role to play in Indian Cooking. Spices give<br />
unique taste and aroma to the food. The taste of food depends<br />
on the combina on of the spices and herbs that are used for<br />
cooking a par cular dish. Based on the recipe, these spices are<br />
blended with each other to give a dis nct taste to any dish. This<br />
combina on of spices mixed or blended together is termed as<br />
“Blended Spices”.<br />
Recipe crea on is a very important and cri cal part of blended spices manufacturing. Recipe can vary based<br />
on the cuisine and the region. The important ingredients types in the blended spices are:<br />
Base Spices: Chillies, Turmeric, Coriander and Cumin are the base spices and all the blended spices will<br />
contain these four spices irrespec ve of cuisine and region to give the basic taste for the final dish.<br />
Exo c Spices: Clove, Pepper, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Fennel, Mace and Nutmeg are called as exo c<br />
spices and are added to give the specific flavor and aroma. Addi on of these spices will depend on the<br />
cuisine and the region.<br />
Fillers: Starches in the form of Corn, Rice powders and Bengal gram are known as fillers. Addi on of<br />
fillers is to make the volume of the product. Nowadays addi on of fillers in Indian masala is reduced due to the<br />
cost impact in the final product.<br />
There is no standard sample or formula for recipe crea on as the taste of masala completely depends on the<br />
region and state that has got its own influence based on the ea ng habit. Each manufacturer will have their<br />
own recipe that are created by blending preferred spices by the target customer.<br />
India has two types of recipes, South Indian Cuisine and North Indian Cuisine. South Indian recipe also<br />
fragmented into different types, examples Andhra cuisines, Tamilnadu cuisines, Karnataka cuisines and Kerala<br />
cuisines.<br />
The Process:<br />
The method of processing blended spices have the following steps,<br />
- Pre-cleaning and pre-cu ng<br />
- Roas ng and blending<br />
- Grinding and blending<br />
Pre-cleaning and pre-cu ng of Spices are common for all types of blended spices produc on. Whereas the<br />
roas ng process is mostly used only in South Indian blended spice. The people of south prefers the roasted<br />
May 2018 5
aroma of most of the base spices, hence 90% of blended spices prepared with roas ng process. Whereas<br />
people of the north, east and west region prefers the raw aroma of spices and hence the roas ng process is<br />
available only in 10% of the blended spices produc on.<br />
Roas ng temperature depends on the variety of spices and the preferred standard of taste and aroma based on<br />
the region. Based on these facts, the specialists at the manufacturer end decides the final mixes for the<br />
blended spices.<br />
Grinding the spices to the required fineness level and the final blending is common for all the blended spices<br />
before packaging. Grinding will be done by either hammer mill, pin mill or cool grinding mills depending on the<br />
manufacturers choice.<br />
Blended Spices – Product types:<br />
Blended spices are classified into two different types, vegetarian and the non-vegetarian.<br />
Vegetarian blended spices: Non-vegetarian blended spices:<br />
1.Sambar powder<br />
2.Rasam powder<br />
3.Vegetable masala<br />
4.Channa masala<br />
5.Garam masala<br />

2.Mu on masala<br />
3.Fish masala<br />
4.Biriyani masala<br />
5.Chicken Tikka masala<br />
6.Fish curry masala<br />
The above varie es of blended spices are very common in both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian categories<br />
and can be easily found on the shelf in any departmental / super stores. The packs developed for these different<br />
varie es of blended spices also carry small write-up on the cooking method that helps the buyers to achieve the<br />
desired taste that they are looking for by using these spices. These cooking instruc ons are given based on the<br />
in-house trials and tas ng results given by the expert panels.<br />
Blended Spices – Tas ng panel:<br />
The manufacturers have a separate team of tas ng panel members who possess great knowledge of Spices and<br />
their varie es. Based on their knowledge these panel members approve the blend ra o of each variety of<br />
blended spices and they give decision on the taste and flavor subjec vely based on the preference. There is no<br />
standard methodology to approve the ra os objec vely as the tas ng buds will vary person to person. CFTRI<br />
Mysore is in progress to find a mathema cal way to arrive the best solu on for the taste of food products.<br />
However, these results also are arrived based on the ra ng provided the tasters during the tas ng trials.<br />
Market Leaders and Poten al:<br />
Total poten al of the spices market is 40,000 Crores and around 20% of the market is shared by Blended Spices.<br />
Blended spices market is highly segmented regionally. Each region has a market leader depending on the<br />
cuisine and cooking recipe. Based on the na onal availability, major market leaders are:<br />

Reducing GHG Footprint- A step<br />
towards Sustainable Future!<br />
This month from the sustainability desk, we have come up with an ar cle to enlighten our readers about the<br />
impact of greenhouse gases on climate change and how reducing the GHG emissions (also known as carbon<br />
footprint) can contribute in mi ga ng impacts of climate change.<br />
Greenhouse gases have the poten al to trap sun's heat in the atmosphere and hence results in the<br />
increasing average global temperature. Primary greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere are Carbon<br />
dioxide, Methane, Nitrous oxide, ozone & water vapour. Greenhouse gases from human ac vi es are the<br />
most significant driver of observed climate change since the mid-20th century. Since the beginning of the<br />
Industrial Revolu on (around 1750) human ac vi es have contributed in 40% increase in the atmospheric<br />
concentra on of carbon dioxide (CO2), from 280 ppm in 1750 to 406 ppm in early 2017. Worldwide, net<br />
emissions of greenhouse gases from human ac vi es have increased by 35 percent from 1990 to 2010.<br />
Emissions of carbon dioxide, which account for about three-fourths of total GHG emissions, has increased by<br />
42 percent over this period. With climate change in ac on, polar ice shields are mel ng and consequently<br />
sea levels are rising. Some regions are experiencing extreme weather events like frequent rainfall or extreme<br />
heat waves and droughts. The impacts are expected to intensify in coming decades if the business as usual<br />
con nues.<br />
The challenge of climate change calls for an extraordinary vision, leadership, compassion and wisdom. The<br />
cumula ve accumula on of greenhouse gases (GHGs) historically since industrial revolu on has resulted in<br />
the current problem of global warming. This is further compounded by the tepid and inadequate response<br />
of the developed countries even a er the adop on of the United Na ons Framework Conven on on Climate<br />
Change (UNFCCC) and delinea on of obliga ons and responsibili es in the year 1992. As a result, an<br />
'emission' ambi on gap has been created calling for enhanced global ac ons to address it.<br />
With the aim to limit the increase in global average temperatures to “below 2°C above pre-industrial levels”<br />
countries across the globe adopted an historic interna onal climate agreement in Paris in December 2015<br />
(Popularly known as Paris Agreement). It also aims to “pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to<br />
1.5°C above pre-industrial levels”, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of<br />
climate change. In order to actually limit warming to that level, the aim is to achieve a balance between<br />
anthropogenic emissions by sources (power plants, fossil fuel related combus on, etc.) and removals by<br />
sinks (trees/oceans absorp on capacity) of greenhouse gases. Countries including India outlined the<br />
climate ac ons they intended to take under the new interna onal agreement, known as their Intended<br />
Na onally Determined Contribu ons (INDCs).<br />
India declared a voluntary goal of reducing the emissions intensity of its GDP by 20–25%, over 2005 levels,<br />
by 2020. The goal is planned to be achieved by on-going mi ga on and adapta on strategies and ac ons<br />
like promo ng clean and efficient energy system, Enhancing energy efficiency, promo ng waste to wealth,<br />
sustainable transporta on, planned afforesta on, pollu on abatements etc.<br />
As a voluntary step, <strong>GHCL</strong> is in the process of developing ac on plan to reduce its carbon footprint. As a first<br />
and foremost step, we intend to undertake GHG inventoriza on for all divisions, and also iden fy all the<br />
areas/ac vi es which has poten al for GHG emission reduc ons. Exploring the renewable energy sources<br />
like wind, solar, promo ng planta ons, enhancing the energy efficiency within plant opera ons are few<br />
major areas of interven ons. We aim at making all our businesses greener by reducing the carbon footprint<br />
per unit of the product produced. We believe that our pro-ac veness in understanding the urgency of the<br />
ma er and taking strategic steps will somewhere contribute in achieving the India's declared INDCs.<br />

Recognition / Events @ <strong>GHCL</strong><br />
During this Trade Fair, accommoda on in Hannover was expensive so I stayed in a small town called<br />
Hildesheim. It took 45 minutes by train to reach Trade fair ground.<br />
My experience with Hotel named Family Inn was also unique. This hotel does not have any manpower. Totally,<br />
system oriented. You will get your room key by pu ng Access code which was provided to me when I had paid<br />
& booked the hotel. Your hotel key is your access card to avail all the facility of the hotel.<br />
When I reached Hannover Trade show ground on my first day, I realise the size of Trade show...It is really very<br />
huge. There were 27 domes & each dome had lots of stalls displaying different products according to its theme.<br />
You have to take Bus to reach one dome to another dome. First day, we had gone there without any planning so<br />
find difficul es to choose how to start & from where. I realized that you cannot complete Trade fair in four day<br />
me so I had to plan in the morning what dome to visit as per your area of interest. Every stall was giving you a<br />
posi ve vibe & I was feeling that this is a totally different world. I realized that Technology & Innova ve<br />
products displayed here were beyond our thought & that too keeping great care of energy & environment.<br />
Most of the machine/product, you can see working & opera onal.<br />

Book Review<br />
How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be – The 25 Principles of Success, by Jack Canfield<br />
ack Canfield is an American author and management expert. He<br />
Jis a founding member of the Transforma onal Leadership<br />
Council. He wrote this book in 2005, and is also the co-author of<br />
the best-selling book series Chicken Soup for the Soul, that have<br />
sold over 100 million copies and been translated into more than 47<br />
languages. This book is built up around the idea that everybody can<br />
become successful if they decide what they want, believe they<br />
deserve it and prac ce the 25 principles men oned in the book.<br />
Jack Canfield provides a roadmap to get to the goal and clarifies this<br />
with lots of examples and inspiring quotes from others to reflect on.<br />
The author conducted a lot of conversa ons with successful people<br />
and added his own lessons learned.<br />
Success is a work in progress that takes me, but with the necessary effort, perseverance and the right ac ons,<br />
you can go from where you are to where you want to be.<br />
Take responsibility<br />
The first principle in Jack Canfield's book is that there is only one person responsible for your quality of life. This<br />
is you, so you need to take 100% responsibility for your life. People tend to blame others if things don't work out<br />
as planned instead of analysing the outcome as a sum of events and what response was received to it. You<br />
cannot change the circumstances, the seasons or the wind, but you can change yourself.<br />
Believe you can achieve and learn how to set goals<br />
In this book the author helps to make the purpose more tangible with prac cal exercises and teaches you that<br />
the danger is not to aim too high and miss it, but to aim too low and achieve it. O en people see stop signs<br />
when they experience fears, concerns or roadblocks. Therefore it's important to set measurable and concrete<br />
goals, break them down into small manageable tasks and apply the rule of 5: every day do 5 things that will<br />
move you towards your goal of comple on. One ac on at a me. Successful people believe and expect that<br />
their goal will come true and believe that they can make it come true. They see obstacles as growth<br />
opportuni es, to change their behaviour and become be er. If you keep on doing what you've always done,<br />
you'll keep on ge ng what you've always got.<br />
Release the breaks and take ac on<br />
It takes courage to step outside your comfort zone, overcome the roadblocks and take a risk to move on to get<br />
where you want to be. Successful people imagine themselves as having already completed the goal. This power<br />
of visualiza on is a strong tool to make the brain achieve more as it creates new levels of mo va on. Don't be<br />
afraid to fail, but take ac on even when feeling fearful – and learn from mistakes. When you have a clear vision,<br />
think, dress, talk and act like the person who has already achieved their goal.<br />
Imagina on is everything. It is the preview of life's coming a rac ons.<br />
Learn from others<br />
For everything you want to do, there are books, courses or stories of others that have tried it before. Take the<br />
opportunity to ask people about it so you can learn from their experience. If you want something, keep on<br />
asking, be persistent and assume you can and will get it. Some people are afraid of being rejected. But don't<br />
take rejec on personally, because it's not personal. If you get nega ve feedback, welcome it and use it to your<br />
advantage to learn what you need to improve on.<br />
Do you want to be safe and good or take a chance to be great?<br />

Conclusion<br />
In the book the author covers how to create a vision, set goals, break them down into small steps, an cipate<br />
obstacles and plan how to deal with them, visualize and affirm success and believe in yourself and your dreams.<br />
He's aware that these 25 success principles could feel overwhelming, but take ac on on the most important<br />
ones every day and go further with the other ones step by step. This will take me; it took the author me to<br />
figure them out too. As a reader it's now your me to implement the principles that worked for him and the<br />
many examples quoted in this book. He concludes by saying that you and you alone are responsible for taking<br />
ac ons. Make the commitment to start now and get on with using them to create the life of your dreams.<br />
Everyone who got to where they are had to begin from where they were.<br />

The earth will not con nue to offer its harvest, except with faithful stewardship.<br />
We cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by<br />
future genera ons.<br />
A na on that destroys its soils destroys itself.<br />
Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.<br />

Every day is Earth day: Make It Green<br />
Every day is earth day,<br />
Or at least it should be.<br />
We should take steps every day<br />
to save our planet, don't you agree?<br />
Try walking when it's prac cal,<br />
And skip driving a car.<br />
It will help cut down emissions<br />
And raise air quality by far.<br />
Earth is our dear Mother, don't pollute it,<br />
She gives us food and shelter, just salute it...<br />
With Global Warming, it's in danger,<br />
Let's save it by becoming a strong ranger...<br />
Lives are crying because it's not clean,<br />
Earth is dying because it's not green...<br />
With dying trees and animals, it's in sorrow,<br />
Make green today and green tomorrow...<br />
Trees are precious, preserve them,<br />
Water is a treasure, reserve it...<br />
Grow more trees, make Mother Earth green,<br />
Reduce pollu on and make her a Queen...<br />
