The following factors are considered in the selection of site for processing unit. \| « asy availability of raw material: Fruit and vegetables:should be available in adequate quantity in Une \| locality as they are highly perishable and deteriorate in long distance transportation. Other raw 1 like fuel, sugar, salt, chemicals ete and miscellaneous hand tools such as nuts, bolts. miner machiners parts ete should also be easily available in the locality. « The site should be well connected with road. \+ Proper transport facilities for movement of raw material and finished products. Area should have adequate supply of patable water and electricity (preferably three phase connection Environment should be clean and free from debris, dirt, dust ets. » The processing industry should preferably be well away trom other industries to avoid Soot, smoke ane disagreeable odour. i « Provision for disposal of processing waste. }} \+ Adequate availability of labour, \| « The selecied site should have scope for future expansion. 2\.

Hurdle Technology: \\he concept of minimal processing is mainly aimed at reducing the processing 0! foods without compromising on quality. A number of novel and emerging techniques are often in use lo congregate some of these objectives, Among them, hurdle technology is an innovative concept for producing safe. stable, nutritious, tasty, and economical foods. It employs the proper blend of diverse preservation techniques for decontamination of fruits and vegetables. Hurdle technology can also be termed as combined echniques, or barrier technology.
