3. Introduction
What are Processed Foods?
Processed foods are foods that have been changed from their natural state, either
by simple methods like cutting and cooking or by more complex processes
involving added preservatives, nutrients, flavors, or fats. This category includes a
wide range, from mildly processed items like canned vegetables and pasteurized
milk to heavily processed foods like chips, cakes, and ready-to-eat pies, which
often contain significant amounts of added salt, sugar, and unhealthy fats.
While some processed foods can be part of a healthy diet, such as those that have
been fortified with nutrients, many processed and ultra-processed options are
less nutritious and should be consumed in moderation. For example, canned fruits
and vegetables are processed, but still offer nutritional value, whereas savory
snacks like sausage rolls and pies are heavily processed and typically high in less
healthy ingredients
Processed foods can be classified on the basis of extent and type of processing as
follows:
1.Minimally processed foods: These are processed as little as possible in order to
retain the quality of fresh foods. Generally the processes used are cleaning,
trimming, shelling, cutting, slicing and storage at low i.e., refrigeration
temperatures.
2.Preserved foods: The methods of preservation used do not change the character
of the product substantially e.g., frozen peas and frozen vegetables, dehydrated
peas, dehydrated vegetables, canned fruits and vegetables.
3.Manufactured foods: In such products, the original characteristics of the raw
products are lost and some basic methods of preservation are used, often using
various ingredients such as salt, sugar, oil or even chemical preservatives.
Examples are pickles, jams, marmalades, squashes, papads, wadis.
5. Formulated foods: These are products prepared by mixing and processing of
individual ingredients to result in relatively shelf stable food products such as

4. bread, biscuits, ice cream, cakes, kulfi. 5. Food derivatives: In industry,
components of foods may be obtained from the raw product through purification,
e.g., sugar from sugarcane or oil from oil seeds. In some cases, the derivative or the
component may be processed further, e.g., conversion of oil to vanaspati (the
process is called hydrogenation)
6.Functional foods: These are foods that can have a beneficial effect on human
health,e.g., probiotics.
7.Medical foods: These are used in dietary management of diseases, for example,
low sodium salt, lactose–free milk for persons with lactose intolerance.

5Mother Dairy Ice Cream
Parle G Biscuit
Parle Products was founded in 1G2G in India by the Chauhan family of Vile Parle,
Mumbai. The founder was Mohanlal Chauhan who hailed from Pardi near Valsad in
Gujarat. He moved to Mumbai to make a living and at first, his profession was
tailoring. However, it was not profitable, and so he moved into the food business
by selling snacks. He ran a bakery making bread, buns, rusks, scones, nankhatai,
turnovers, etc. He had five sons - Maneklal, Pitambar, Narottam, Kantilal and
Jayantilal. The five brothers worked together under their father.
Parle began manufacturing biscuits in 1G3G, with a license to supply their biscuits
only to the British Army. In 1G47, when India became independent, the company
launched an ad campaign showcasing its Glucose biscuits as an Indian alternative
to the British biscuits.[7] The Parle brand became well known in India following the
success of products such as the Parle-G biscuits. Much later, in 1G77, the Morarji
Desai government expelled Coca-Cola from India. The family saw an opportunity
here and opened their own cold drinks business, which flourished because there
was no competition. It minted money from selling cold beverages like Gold Spot,
Thumbs Up and Frooti, all of which became household

7. Priya Pickles
Priya Foods was established in 1G80 by the Ramoji Group, a company committed to
combining traditional Indian recipes with modern technology to create safe and
delicious food products, including its popular range of pickles. The brand quickly
became a household name in South India and later expanded its reach globally,
known for bringing the authentic taste of homemade pickles and chutneys to
consumers with a focus on hygiene, purity, and the use of fresh, high-quality
ingredients.
Priya Foods emphasizes the use of authentic recipes and fresh, natural ingredients
in its products, ensuring a consistent, traditional homemade flavor that resonates
with families across generations. The company employs modern manufacturing
processes and maintains stringent quality control measures, reflected in its
national and international certifications like ISO and HACCP, to guarantee safety,
purity, and freshness in every jar.
Through its commitment to blending tradition with technology, Priya Foods
successfully delivers the nostalgic taste of home-cooked Indian meals, turning
every dish into a special and authentic experience. This philosophy ensures that
each
product, whether a spicy mango pickle or a flavorful mixed vegetable variety,
retains the warmth and quality of traditional South Indian cuisine, making Priya
Foods a trusted brand for consumers seeking a genuine taste of India.

8. Ramen Noodles
Ramen noodles originated in China and were brought to Japan by Chinese
immigrants in the late 1Gth century, evolving from simple noodle soups to a staple
dish with regional varieties by the mid-20th century. A major turning point was the
invention of instant ramen by Momofuku Ando in 1G58, which, along with the
subsequent emergence of ramen shops, made the dish more accessible and
cemented its place as a symbol of comfort and culinary creativity, leading to
diverse styles and international popularity.
Ramen's history began with Chinese-style wheat noodles and soy sauce-based
broths, introduced to Japan in the 1800s. After World War II, food shortages and the
rise of street vendors called yatai contributed to ramen's growing popularity as a
cheap and filling meal. This era saw the development of regional ramen styles, such
as Kyushu's tonkotsu and Tokyo's soyu, establishing ramen as a significant part of
Japanese culture.
The most significant innovation came in 1G58 when Momofuku Ando created the
first instant ramen, making the dish widely available and convenient for home
preparation. This spurred the growth of dedicated ramen restaurants and further
global interest. Today, ramen continues to evolve, celebrated for its varied flavors,
toppings, and textures, embodying comfort, community, and endless culinary
possibilities.

9. Dabur Real Juices
Dabur Ltd is an Indian multinational consumer goods company, founded by S. K.
Burman and headquartered in Ghaziabad. It manufactures Ayurvedic medicine and
natural consumer products, and is one of the largest fast-moving consumer goods
(FMCG) companies in India. Dabur India Limited (Dabur), a century old company
and a well-known brand in India in the health and wellness products, launched Real
fruit juices in 1GG7. Real was a pioneer in its category and faced several challenges
in the initial years. People were apprehensive about the quality of the product and
also did not like the taste.
Soon, the company understood that the Indian palate preferred sweetened fruit
juices and modified the product accordingly. Moreover, the company gave special
care on packaging to maintain the purity and freshness of the product. In addition
to this, Dabur segmented the market in several categories for more effective
penetration.
Also, the company launched new advertising campaigns from time to time to retain
customers' interest. As of 2013, Real was the market leader in the branded and
packaged fruit juice category in India.
However, competition increased by several notches in this category with Coca-Cola
launching Minute Maid and Hindustan Unilever extending its Kissan brand to fruit
juices in the recent past.
It remained to be seen whether Dabur Real will be able to sustain its leadership
position in future. Réal is India’s No. 1* Juice and Nectar brand and has been
ensuring tasty fruit nutrition for millions of Indian families for many decades.
Réal has the widest range of fruit beverages with 22 exciting variants - from the
Exotic Indian Mango, Guava, Litchi, Jamun s Peach to International Favourites like

premium range – Alphonso Mango, Pink Guava and Mixed Berries and the Ethnic

11. Mother Dairy Ice Cream
Mother Dairy launched ice cream in 1GG5, building on its foundation as a dairy
cooperative under the Operation Flood initiative to achieve milk self-sufficiency
for India. Known for its commitment to quality milk products, Mother Dairy
expanded into ice creams to provide consumers with tasty, high-quality frozen
desserts. The company's marketing often emphasizes its promise of quality and
freshness, as seen in its campaigns where characters swear by "Mother Promise"
to underscore the
value and authenticity of their ice creams.
From its origins as a subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in
1G74, Mother Dairy has evolved to offer a diverse range of products, including ice
creams.
The brand's ice cream division became a significant player in the Indian market,
particularly in the Delhi and NCR region, achieving a substantial market share by
the early 2000s.
The "Mother Promise" campaigns, which feature scenarios where a simple promise
is sealed with a Mother Dairy ice cream, highlight the emotional connection and
trust consumers have with the brand, positioning its ice creams as a symbol of
genuine commitment and a rich, creamy indulgence.’

It is very affordable and convenient to carry in small packs for children and
individuals and big families. The cost is very affordable by all income levels. The
certification from FSSAI shows it is a high quality and strong product used for
generations in India.
2.Priya Pickles
Priya Pickles is available in small and big glass jars. The product is environment
friendly because they are not using plastic. But there is a possibility for the bottle
to break during long journeys so the manufacturer should look into ways of sealing
and packing it better. This is also an affordable product for most families.
3Ramen Noodles
The small packs are easy to carry and its affordable for students and college
graduates. The FSSAI shows it’s a very good quality and a nutritious product and
it is a most favourite product and families buy in bulk qualities
4Dabur Real Juice
The small tetra pack juice packs are light weight and easy to carry especially for
children. The larger packs are priced well and can be used by families who store
them in refrigerators. The packaging could be improved as the bigger cartons tend
to burst and a lot of pressure maybe damaged in long journeys.
5Mother Dairy Ice Cream
This frozen dessert is packaged well and sealed tightly to maintain freshness. It is
enjoyed by everyone but the price might not suit everyone’s budget. It is a high
quality product with ingredients which do not spoil easily.
