Pressing and Sorting Fruits: An Insight into Production

Overview of Fruit Quality and Sorting Process

• The discussion begins with an overview of the fruit being processed, specifically undersized apples that cannot be distributed due to their size.

• There are also oversized apples and pears with unusual shapes that still retain their flavor despite not meeting distribution standards.

Pressing and Sorting Environment

• The setting for pressing and sorting is described as hostile, characterized by high noise levels and humidity.

• During this phase, the team sorts apples based on size and appearance, identifying those that are either too large or too small.

Nectar Production Process

• The focus shifts to the production of apricot nectar, which has already been assembled at this stage.

• A steam jet is utilized to create a vacuum in the bottling process, indicating a step in ensuring product quality before sealing.
