Aseptic Fruit Puree for a Resource-Scarce World

कृषि + अरण्य — From Farm & Forest to the World's Ingredient Kitchens

India is the world's largest mango producer and second-largest guava producer. Krisharanya converts that raw material advantage into shelf-stable, preservative-free ingredient-grade purees — for global food manufacturers, flavour houses, and infant nutrition brands.

The problem we solve

India grows the fruit.
The world needs the ingredient.

India loses 30–40% of its fruit harvest to post-harvest spoilage — value destroyed before it reaches any consumer. Simultaneously, global food manufacturers face volatile supply chains, rising input costs, and surging demand for clean-label fruit ingredients.

The solution is not to grow more. It is to waste less and preserve better. Aseptic processing converts perishable surplus into ambient-stable, preservative-free ingredients — with 18 to 24 months of shelf life.

30–40%

of India's fruit harvest is lost to post-harvest spoilage annually — value never reaching manufacturers or consumers.

India is the world's largest mango producer and the second-largest guava producer — yet remains under-represented in the global aseptic puree trade by value.

18–24m

Ambient shelf life of aseptic puree — no cold chain required. Ships to Japan, EU, and GCC without refrigeration.

Technology platform

Precision Processing,
AI-Native Operations

Krisharanya is built from the ground up as an AI-native manufacturing operation — not a conventional plant with automation bolted on later.

Aseptic Processing

Fruit pulped, heat-treated at precise HTST parameters in a closed system, deaerated, and filled into sterile multi-layer EVOH bags — all without preservatives or artificial additives. The result is ingredient-grade puree that tastes like the orchard, ships anywhere, and sits on a shelf for two years.

AI-Native Operations Model

A 20-person team runs what conventional plants require 60 people to operate. AI integration across plant intelligence, procurement optimisation, compliance documentation, and QC monitoring creates a structural cost advantage — not a talking point.

Plant Intelligence Predictive Procurement Automated Compliance Real-Time QC Distribution Intelligence

Raw Fruit Aggregation

Multi-region procurement across Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and southern India. Long-term farmer and FPO linkages. 400 MT cold storage for seasonal aggregation.

Washing & Sorting

Automated wash lines, size grading, and defect sorting prior to pulping. AI-assisted visual QC reduces reject contamination in the final puree.

Pulping & Refining

Multi-stage pulping to achieve consistent Brix and colour targets. Enzyme treatment where required. Deaeration to reduce oxidation.

HTST Pasteurisation

High-temperature short-time treatment calibrated to pathogen kill without caramelisation. Validated parameters per BRCGS and FSSC 22000 requirements.

Aseptic Filling

Filled into sterile EVOH multi-layer bags in 200 kg drums under sterile headspace conditions. Preservative-free. Shelf-stable 18–24 months at ambient temperature.
