Project Title

Agriculture/Food Processing

Manufacturing Unit for Soyabean Products

Project Description

The Agricultural sector contributes

approximately 15.7% of India's GDP. India is

the world's largest producer across a range of

commodities due to its favourable agro-climatic

conditions and rich natural resource base.

The Food Processing sector is a highly

fragmented industry and widely comprises of

the following sub-segments:















Fruits and Vegetables,

Milk and Milk products,

Beer and Alcoholic beverages,

Meat and Poultry,

Marine products,

Grain processing,

Packaged or Convenience food and Packaged drinks.

It accounts for more than 70% of the sector’s output in terms of volume and 50% in terms of value.

Though the organized sector seems comparatively small, it is growing at a much faster pace.

Consumption of oilseeds has grown along with their industrial usage. Increasing awareness about health

is leading to an increased demand for Soyabean and Soyabean based products. China and India are the

major producers of Soyabean in the world. However, they consume most of their produce and hence also

have to depend on imports to meet their domestic demand.

Most conventional solvent plants in Madhya Pradesh have been making soya oil and meal for use as

animal feed. This project proposes to set up a unit for manufacturing soya protein concentrate and soya

food flakes/grits/flour. It is a step towards forward process integration where the soya bean cake will be

processed to make edible soya flour and textured soya protein.

W orldwide, soya protein concentrate and isolate are considered to be the best proteins for the human

body in terms of their nutritional value. In this project, soya protein concentrate will be produced using the

latest enzyme processing technology which is much superior to the conventional aqueous alcohol and

isometric precipitation technology which require large quantity of water for...
