PALM WINE is an aqueous fructose secretion extract from a specific palm tree, tapped beneath the palm fronds into a receptacle of either a gourd or in recent times plastic containers.

MICROBIOLOGY.
The saccharified extract is at extraction being infected (inoculated) by suspected mixed microflora of lactic acid bacteria and wild yeast – eg lactobacillus caucasious and Saccharomyces pastorianus / Pichia pastoris. The freshly tapped palm wine in first 8hours exhibit an alcoholic concentration of about 2.3% however, this increases to about 3% with lower pH (sourness) of about (pH 4-5 ) when not processed.

The BIOCHEMISTRY.
The sour taste at the lower pH is as a result of the lactic acid bacteria synthesis of a number of anti microbial compounds including – lactic acid, acetic acid, benzoic acid and hydrogen peroxide .

PROCESSING
Fortification – This is done by the addition of food ingredients that enhances the taste by applying regulated amount of sweetener, foam stabilisation with Co2 gas , packaging in hymaticaly sealed containers eg bottles and summarily Pasteurised at 80°c for 30mins.

TUNNEL AND FLASH PASTEURISATION.
Thermal processes is still of great importance in the biological shelf live of beers or palm wine.
The killing off or deactivation of microorganisms by thermal processes has not diminished in importance.
The oldest procedure is the pasteurisation of filled bottles. Although this offers complete biological safety , it brings with it the danger of a change in taste called ‘bread taste’ due to uptake of air and oxygen in tunnel pasteurisation.
FLASH Pasteurisation naturally avoids even limited air uptake. Using the plate heat exchanger. The quantity of palm wine flowing through the flash pasteurisation unit is controlled ,the flow rate is related to a pasteurisation temperature which guarantees the desired Pasteurisation Unit. (PU).
The Pasteurised palm wine can last a minimum of 90days on shelf.

-Antioxidants
Cashews are rich in carotenoids and Polyphenols antioxidants that helps reduce inflammation and offers protection from disease.

-Low Sugar
Cashews are low in sugar which helps reduce the risk for serious diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes, Lung disease, Heart disease, Liver disease, fatty buildup and enhances weight loss.

-Rich in Fibers
Fibers are very important to normalize bowel movement, also increases weight and size of stool thereby improving transit.

-Plant Protein
Cashews contain phytonutrients and quicker muscle repair property. Plant proteins have been linked to a lower risk of stroke heart disease

-Essential micro-nutrients
Cashew kernels are a good source of copper, magnesium and Manganese (nutrients for energy production, brain health, immunity and bone health
).

-Reduce cholesterol
Too much cholesterol in the body cause plaque buildup in arteries which can lead to atherosclerosis (cardiovascular disease).

✔️At WufasAgronet, we provide adequate cooling effects on milk production and other perishables to support the Livestock Ministry through our competent INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP with foreign experts.

TYPES OF COLD CHAINS

-SHOCK FREEZERS
Shock Freezers are professional equipment that controls temperature necessary for keeping products fresh for a long time.
While preserving the products the equipment makes to keep undamaged nutritional value of the products after being defrosted. The equipment is made to consists of Double Stage Semi Hermatic compressors. The Shock freezers system allows to lower the temperature very rapidly up to -180°C degrees. Freezing is provided by air coolers of it by blowing over fronted surface of the wagon. This enables to freeze down quickly in cold air flow. The room air should not exceed 35°/-40.°C. Besides, it’s proven to be a low-waste and environment friendly system.

COLDSTORAGE
This system is manufactured and installed with the entire components like it is ready to use. It could be of mobile device.
This system can be disassembled so it can be moved to other places.
Cold storage consist of the following levels and types of preserving:
-Cold-rooms 🙁 +16° / +5°C)
-Cold storage Rooms (+5°/-5°C)
-Freezing Rooms : (-18°/-23°C)
-Shock freezer :(-35°/-40°C) .

DEEPFREEZE ROOMS.
These are for preserving products such as meat, poultry etc. For a long time. They are preserved under temperatures not exceeding – 18°/-23°C. In order to isolate these rooms 150mm width sandwich panels are used.

COLD ROOMS
Cold rooms are used to keep baked goods, chocolates etc.
The cold rooms prevent bacteria from growing. Low ventilation allows workers to work without endangering their health which is very important aspect too.
