Abstract
While India is second largest producer of fruits and vegetables, only 10% of horticultural products are processed. Horticultural crops provide varied type of components, which can be effectively and gainfully utilized for value addition like pigment, amino acids, oleoresins, antioxidants, flavours and aroma. Horticultural crops are very well suited for value addition as they provide huge profit and their richness in health promoting compounds and higher potential for exports. Here are some of the processed products of horticultural crops.
