PICKLED
INTRODUCTION:
This pickle is more like a chutney since it is prepared by adding sugar, vinegar and salt to
the fruits, followed by boiling which reduces the water content and increases the total soluble
solids. The final product is a thick, slightly acidic spicy fruit preserve. Green papaya is required
to make the pickle. The time of harvest of green papaya is crucial to the success of the pickle. It
should be green and very firm and harvested before the fruit begins to ripen. Once the papaya
starts to ripen the acidity decreases and the flesh becomes too soft. However, if it is harvested too
early the pickle will have a bitter milky flavour. The yield of usable fruit from whole green
papaya is approximately 70%. The product can he packed in glass jars or polythene bags (at least
100 micron, preferably a thicker gauge) for smaller quantities.
Polythene bags are a cheap form of packaging that can be made into various sizes, which
is useful for marketing to different consumer groups. However, polythene is not a very good
barrier for containing aromas, which can attract insects which will eat through the polythene and
spoil the product. This technical brief should be read together with the brief ‘Pickles and
chutneys’ which gives an overview of the process and the quality assurance points. As with all
products, it is important to carry out a market and technical feasibility study before starting
production.
