Salt and salt substitutes hold significant market share owing to its dominant usage in every type
of food. We are not considering the salt and salt substitutes. Spices market is increasing day by
day due to increase in disposable income, change in lifestyle, rising number of working women,
increased demand for packaged foods, etc. Hence, the increasing usage of these flavours is
expected to open new opportunities in the recent future. The increase in demand for seasonings

India is the second largest populous country in the world, after China. Population growth is also
significantly high. With the growing population, consumer demand for spices are also growing
at a progressive rate in the domestic market. Moreover, the change in lifestyle, growing urban
population, increasing number of working women, the scope of spice market is growing. Now
people are using more and more processed spices in the form of powder instead of basic spices.

Process flow chart of preparation of spices powder is as follows:
Step 1: Spices cleaning and Sorting
Once the spices are harvested, they are cleaned and sorted to remove any unwanted material such as dirt,
stones, or twigs. This is usually done using a series of screens or sieves to separate the spices by size and
weight. This process ensures that only high-quality spices are used in the manufacturing process.
Step 2: Spices drying
After cleaning and sorting, the spices are typically dried to remove any moisture. This is important because
moisture can cause the spices to spoil or develop mold. Drying can be done using various methods such as
sun drying, hot air drying, or freeze drying. The method used depends on the type of spice and the desired
end product.
Step 3: Spices grinding
Once the spices are dry, they are ground into a fine powder using a spice grinder. The grinding process can
be done manually or with the help of automated machinery. The powder is then sifted through vibrating
sifter to remove any lumps or impurities.
Step 4: Spices blending
After grinding, the spices are often blended together to create unique blends with specific flavor profiles.
For example, a common spice blend is curry powder, which typically contains a mix of coriander, cumin,
turmeric, ginger, and other spices. The blends can be created manually or with the help of automated
machinery.
Step 5: Spices packaging
The final step in manufacturing spices is to package them for distribution. The spices are typically
packaged in air-tight containers to preserve their freshness and aroma. The packaging can be done
manually or with the help of automated machinery.
In conclusion, spices processing involves a series of steps including spices cleaning, spice sorting, spice
drying, spice grinding, spices blending, and spices packaging. Each step is critical to ensuring that the final
product is of high quality and has the desired flavor and aroma. With the help of modern technology, the
spice processing has become more efficient, but the traditional methods of harvesting and drying are still
widely used in many parts of the world.
