the integrated team effort of the division. I once again
congratulate the en re team for achieving the milestone.
I would also like to men on that we bagged the Golden
Peacock Na onal Quality Award and Greater Together Award

our cap and with this we have moved one step ahead and
created a new benchmark for ourselves.
At GHCL, we value our employees as our greatest assets. They have always proved themselves by

I urge all of you to keep con nuously working towards achieving new milestones and adding value to the
organisa on by exploring innova ve ideas by which we can add value to the society and environment. We
should find new ways to adopt sustainable methods of opera ons where we can give back more to the
environment. We have to adopt a mind-set where all of us as individuals are ready to give back to nature in
our own way.
As rightly said by Robert Swan, Author “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will
save it.”
With the launch of REKOOP, we have already started taking steps towards implemen ng new sustainable

manner as team GHCL to contribute in achieving best results for our organisa on.
I wish you all the very best for the new financial year 2018-2019.

i-FLO Product Highlight
Blended Spices
Manufacturing of Blended Spices:
Recipe prepara on:
Blended Spices - Introduc on
Spices have a special role to play in Indian Cooking. Spices give
unique taste and aroma to the food. The taste of food depends
on the combina on of the spices and herbs that are used for
cooking a par cular dish. Based on the recipe, these spices are
blended with each other to give a dis nct taste to any dish. This
combina on of spices mixed or blended together is termed as
“Blended Spices”.
Recipe crea on is a very important and cri cal part of blended spices manufacturing. Recipe can vary based
on the cuisine and the region. The important ingredients types in the blended spices are:
Base Spices: Chillies, Turmeric, Coriander and Cumin are the base spices and all the blended spices will
contain these four spices irrespec ve of cuisine and region to give the basic taste for the final dish.
Exo c Spices: Clove, Pepper, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Fennel, Mace and Nutmeg are called as exo c
spices and are added to give the specific flavor and aroma. Addi on of these spices will depend on the
cuisine and the region.
Fillers: Starches in the form of Corn, Rice powders and Bengal gram are known as fillers. Addi on of
fillers is to make the volume of the product. Nowadays addi on of fillers in Indian masala is reduced due to the
cost impact in the final product.
There is no standard sample or formula for recipe crea on as the taste of masala completely depends on the
region and state that has got its own influence based on the ea ng habit. Each manufacturer will have their
own recipe that are created by blending preferred spices by the target customer.
India has two types of recipes, South Indian Cuisine and North Indian Cuisine. South Indian recipe also
fragmented into different types, examples Andhra cuisines, Tamilnadu cuisines, Karnataka cuisines and Kerala
cuisines.
The Process:
The method of processing blended spices have the following steps,
- Pre-cleaning and pre-cu ng
- Roas ng and blending
- Grinding and blending
Pre-cleaning and pre-cu ng of Spices are common for all types of blended spices produc on. Whereas the
roas ng process is mostly used only in South Indian blended spice. The people of south prefers the roasted
May 2018 5

aroma of most of the base spices, hence 90% of blended spices prepared with roas ng process. Whereas
people of the north, east and west region prefers the raw aroma of spices and hence the roas ng process is
available only in 10% of the blended spices produc on.
Roas ng temperature depends on the variety of spices and the preferred standard of taste and aroma based on
the region. Based on these facts, the specialists at the manufacturer end decides the final mixes for the
blended spices.
Grinding the spices to the required fineness level and the final blending is common for all the blended spices
before packaging. Grinding will be done by either hammer mill, pin mill or cool grinding mills depending on the
manufacturers choice.
Blended Spices – Product types:
Blended spices are classified into two different types, vegetarian and the non-vegetarian.
Vegetarian blended spices: Non-vegetarian blended spices:
1.Sambar powder
2.Rasam powder
3.Vegetable masala
4.Channa masala
5.Garam masala
6.Idly chilli powder
1.Chicken masala
2.Mu on masala
3.Fish masala
4.Biriyani masala
5.Chicken Tikka masala
6.Fish curry masala
The above varie es of blended spices are very common in both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian categories
and can be easily found on the shelf in any departmental / super stores. The packs developed for these different
varie es of blended spices also carry small write-up on the cooking method that helps the buyers to achieve the
desired taste that they are looking for by using these spices. These cooking instruc ons are given based on the
in-house trials and tas ng results given by the expert panels.
Blended Spices – Tas ng panel:
The manufacturers have a separate team of tas ng panel members who possess great knowledge of Spices and
their varie es. Based on their knowledge these panel members approve the blend ra o of each variety of
blended spices and they give decision on the taste and flavor subjec vely based on the preference. There is no
standard methodology to approve the ra os objec vely as the tas ng buds will vary person to person. CFTRI
Mysore is in progress to find a mathema cal way to arrive the best solu on for the taste of food products.
However, these results also are arrived based on the ra ng provided the tasters during the tas ng trials.
Market Leaders and Poten al:
Total poten al of the spices market is 40,000 Crores and around 20% of the market is shared by Blended Spices.
Blended spices market is highly segmented regionally. Each region has a market leader depending on the
cuisine and cooking recipe. Based on the na onal availability, major market leaders are:

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

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

Book Review
How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be – The 25 Principles of Success, by Jack Canfield
ack Canfield is an American author and management expert. He
Jis a founding member of the Transforma onal Leadership
Council. He wrote this book in 2005, and is also the co-author of
the best-selling book series Chicken Soup for the Soul, that have
sold over 100 million copies and been translated into more than 47
languages. This book is built up around the idea that everybody can
become successful if they decide what they want, believe they
deserve it and prac ce the 25 principles men oned in the book.
Jack Canfield provides a roadmap to get to the goal and clarifies this
with lots of examples and inspiring quotes from others to reflect on.
The author conducted a lot of conversa ons with successful people
and added his own lessons learned.
Success is a work in progress that takes me, but with the necessary effort, perseverance and the right ac ons,
you can go from where you are to where you want to be.
Take responsibility
The first principle in Jack Canfield's book is that there is only one person responsible for your quality of life. This
is you, so you need to take 100% responsibility for your life. People tend to blame others if things don't work out
as planned instead of analysing the outcome as a sum of events and what response was received to it. You
cannot change the circumstances, the seasons or the wind, but you can change yourself.
Believe you can achieve and learn how to set goals
In this book the author helps to make the purpose more tangible with prac cal exercises and teaches you that
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
when they experience fears, concerns or roadblocks. Therefore it's important to set measurable and concrete
goals, break them down into small manageable tasks and apply the rule of 5: every day do 5 things that will
move you towards your goal of comple on. One ac on at a me. Successful people believe and expect that
their goal will come true and believe that they can make it come true. They see obstacles as growth
opportuni es, to change their behaviour and become be er. If you keep on doing what you've always done,
you'll keep on ge ng what you've always got.
Release the breaks and take ac on
It takes courage to step outside your comfort zone, overcome the roadblocks and take a risk to move on to get
where you want to be. Successful people imagine themselves as having already completed the goal. This power
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
afraid to fail, but take ac on even when feeling fearful – and learn from mistakes. When you have a clear vision,
think, dress, talk and act like the person who has already achieved their goal.
Imagina on is everything. It is the preview of life's coming a rac ons.
Learn from others
For everything you want to do, there are books, courses or stories of others that have tried it before. Take the
opportunity to ask people about it so you can learn from their experience. If you want something, keep on
asking, be persistent and assume you can and will get it. Some people are afraid of being rejected. But don't
take rejec on personally, because it's not personal. If you get nega ve feedback, welcome it and use it to your
advantage to learn what you need to improve on.
Do you want to be safe and good or take a chance to be great?
May 2018 17

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

We cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by
future genera ons.
A na on that destroys its soils destroys itself.
Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.

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