An Overview of The Processes Followed In Making Miracle Berry Pills

The miracle berry fruit can be put to the manufacturing process immediately after plucking or later to make the Miracle Berry Pills. However, it needs proper storage under favorable temperature and atmospheric conditions if it is processed at a later stage. This will prevent the quick degradation of the miraculin glycoprotein. The fruits are washed, de-pitted and sent through dehydration process which is another important step to obtain the active principle, desired efficiency and required density of miraculin. Any food processing method can be used for dehydration but usually the lyophilizing process is preferred. All the time the temperature and exposure to air must be controlled and maintained.

The Following Processes

Step by step process is followed to make the Miracle Berry Pills. After dehydration process foam drying process is followed in addition to it to ensure it is properly dehydrated. In this process a small percentage of surfactant is combined with the product. This helps to bubble through air or any other non-toxic gases in the mixture. In the end a sponge like product is obtained which is brittle in nature. This mixture is then comminuted before it is sent for separating the enzymes and acids present in it. Alternatively, low temperature spray drying process may also be employed for comminuting the pulp and skin of the fruit.

Importance of The Bath

The comminuted pulp and skin is given a bath at very low temperature in a container containing crushed dry ice. The frozen carbon dioxide present helps in two distinct yet important functions. One is that it provides very low operating temperatures and at the same time provides the pulp with a carbon dioxide rich environment that helps in its proper preservation just like any other fruit and vegetable. Apart from that dry ice is known for its sublime nature it is very easy to separate it from the frozen skin and pulp. All this will affect the level of efficiency of the Miracle Berry Pills.

Get The Proper Particle Size

Until the proper size of the particle is obtained the pulp and skin is comminuted. This size is ideally 600 microns or even less. The specific particle size will ensure proper breaking of the cell walls after which it is lyophilized in vacuum and at a temperature of 40 degree centigrade or less. This removes the liquid and other vaporous elements and inclusion of formic acid. Freeze drying is then done for four hours making sure that the dried pulp does not contain more than 5 weight percent of moisture. Complete dehydration is done in a desiccator at standard room temperature.

The Separation Process

The separation process concludes the preparation of miraculin to make the Miracle Berry Pills. The enzymerich material is separated based on its density using any suitable density separation method such as suspension or fluidizing bed technique or cyclone type centrifuge. The entire process takes about 20 minutes after which the material is frozen below 40 degrees. In the end the material is rich with miraculin only that is highly stable and can be applied as a powder or tablets. For more information visit Our Website
