  2. Industry/University Alliances

  3. 138 COUNTRIES USING ASEPTIC TECHNOLOGY • 500 MILLION GALS OF BULK STORED JUICE CONSUMED ANNUALLY AND GROWING

  4. Brazil produces 53% of all orange juice consumed in the world, employs 400,000 people

  5. 5

  6. tomatoes harvest globally, 90% (20 - 21.6 million tons) are aseptically processed and packaged for off-season remanufacture

  7. Processed Tomatoes • China leads the world with over 30 million tons of tomatoes produced every year followed by the United States and thenIndia

  8. India produces 7.6 million tons of tomato products a year but due to the lack of proper processing its export potential is limited.

  10. Poverty, conflict, terrorism, corruption and post harvest losses contribute significantly to food insecurity

  11. My background focuses on food preservation • Post-harvest losses occur when a harvested product does not reach its intended use

  12. Postharvest losses range from 10-40%. Commodities i.e. tomatoes may be as high as 50%

  13. reduction of post-harvest losses requires step-by-step scrutiny through the entire process-

  14. in India,according to a 1999 World Bank Report, post-harvest losses amount to 12 to 16 million metric tons of food grains each year -- an amount that the World Bank stipulates could feed one-third of India's poor

  15. Afghanistan • Estimated that in the Nangarhar Provence 50-60 % of the fruits and vegetables will spoil

  16. Aseptic Milk • India- 56 million liters (15 million gals.) • Pakistan- 162 million liters (43 million gals) • China- 590 million liters (156 million gals)

  17. Import ConcernsandDeveloping Markets

  18. Food Pathogens Biosecurity
