Mustard
Powder From Mustard Seeds
|
| Introduction |
Mustard is one of the leading
oil seed crops of the country. Although, it is
mostly used for extraction of edible oil, mustard
seeds as such are also used extensively as a seasoning
material for flavour and pungency in different
food preparations. Dehusked mustard with its flavour
and pungency finds use as table mustard. A pasty
product prepared from mustard powder, salt and
vinegar is very popular in Eastern countries.
Mustard powder is also used as condiment in pickles,
meat and salad dressings. Indian black mustard,
well known for its flavour and pungency, and therefore
it appears to have a good potential for export
if it can be processed to a quality product. Presently,
in India, a very small number of firms are manufacturing
the product and the technology as practised by
these industries has several operational problems
and offers a low product recovery,. The technology
developed by Central Food Technological Research
Institute, Mysore, India overcomes the drawbacks
faced by these industries and produces plain mustard
powder with simple operations, good product recovery
and good quality control. This powder can be used
in the preparation of mustard paste, table mustard
and other mustard products.
|
| Process |
Graded black mustard
seeds are conditioned to loosen the husk, dried
and then seeds are split and dehusked. The mixture
of husk and cotyledons is screened and air classified
into individual fractions. The cotyledons are ground
to desire fineness in a triple roll mill to obtain
mustard powder.
