2. INTRODUCTION
• We undertook this internship programmed
training at Mega foods Pvt.Ltd.
• The training was for a period of 4 weeks.
• We were groomed to accept various
challenges of industry and learnt to keep up
the time limit. This enabled us to correlate
theory and practical.
3. INFRASTRUCTURE
• The factory is located on a site of about 26500 square ft.
• The unit is located in a well-developed industrial estate which
is close to the city.
• The man power employed include professionally qualified
people heading each department.
• Reverse osmosis plant is also provided for the safe usage of
water.
4. Mission statement
“TO PRODUCE QUALITY FOOD PRODUCTS THAT ADD
VALUE TO OUR CONSUMER,BUYERS,DEALERS AND
EMPLOYEES AND THEREBY BECOME THE MOST
REPUTED AND PROFITABLE COMPANY”
5. PROMOTERS
• THE CHIEF PROMOTER OF THIS COMPANY IS
MR.AMIT C VAISHNAV, A MECHANICAL
ENGINEER AND A MEMBER OF FOOD
SCIENTISTS AND TECHNOLOGISTS(MYSORE)
8. LAB ANALYSIS
• Lab analysis consists of the various tests done in order to
prepare a stable and consistent food product.
• There are various apparatus that are used for eg:pH meter
,etc.
• The following tests are done in this food industry:
1)BRIX TEST
2)ACIDITY OF PULP
3)pH OF PULP/JUICE
9. This test is done in order
to asses the amount of
dissolved salts present in
the given fruit extract.
The instrument used to
perform this test is known
as the refractometer.
The refractometer used
for juices ranges between
0-50% and that of jams is
40-85%.
Acidity test is done in order to
determine the amount of acid
added to the fruit juice or pulp
and thereby determine the
amount of extra acid that has to
added.
The calculation of acidity can
be done in 2 ways:-
1)Acid-base titration
2)pH method
The pH method is done
with a pH meter.
The pH is done to
check and hence
maintain the acidity of
the given fruit pulp or
juice.
10. COMPANY HYGIENE
One of the most essential factors to be maintained in a food
industry is hygiene. At Mega foods the following measures are
followed:-
1)On entering the production area one must disinfect their
hands using a sanitizer and the workers should wash their
legs.
2)People who are associated with preparing the food products
should not wear footwear.
3)All workers are to wear lab coats and also cover their head
with a head cap to prevent hair from falling into anything.
4)All machines should be washed and cleaned before use.
