Project report for Seasoning making

In some Indiancultures, meat may be seasoned by pouring seasoning sauce over the dish at the table. A variety of seasoning techniques exist in various cultures. Seasoning means to bring out or intensify the natural flavour of the food without changing it. Seasonings are usually added near the end of the cooking period. The most common seasonings are salt, pepper, and acids (such as lemon juice). When seasonings are used properly, they cannot be tasted; their job is to heighten the flavours of the original ingredients. The total area under spices in India is 2.3 million hectares and the annual production of spices in our country is around 27 lakh tones, valued approximately at Rs. 13000 crore.

Seasonings include herbs and spices, which are themselves frequently referred to as "seasonings". However, seasoning includes a large or small amount of salt being added to a preparation. Salt may be used to draw out water, or to magnify a natural flavour of a food making it richer or more delicate, depending on the dish. This type of procedure is akin to curing. For instance, sea salt is rubbed into chicken, lamb, and beef to tenderize the meat and improve flavour. Other seasonings like black pepper and basil transfer some of their flavour to the food. A well designed dish may combine seasonings that complement each other. In addition to the choice of herbs and seasoning, the timing of when flavours are added will affect the food that is being cooked.

The global spices and seasonings market size is projected to reach INR 1,698 billion by 2026, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.7% in the forecast period (2020 - 2025). However, the market was valued at INR 118, 200 Crores in 2019. There is a high demand for organic spices around the world. At present, China, India, and Vietnam are the largest exporters of organic spices. They are producing various organic spice commodities by using several spices, namely, ginger, garlic, and chilies. Besides, in the developed regions, such as Europe, there is rising popularity of organic spices amongst the masses as these spices are made out of natural ingredients and are free from pesticides. Also, increasing awareness programs amongst the masses regarding the medicinal properties of spices would drive the market growth in the forthcoming years by rising the demand for organic herbs and spices. In terms of application, the spices and seasonings market is divided into snacks and convenience food, meat and poultry, frozen food, bakery and confectionery, and others. Amongst these, the snacks and convenience food segment is expected to dominate the market owing to a rise in the consumption of snack items in several countries. On the other hand, the bakery and the confectionery segment would hold the second-largest spices and seasonings market share during the forecast period. It is likely to occur on account of the immense growth of the bakery industry in numerous emerging regions, specifically in Asia Pacific.
