PeriodOf The Study

Page 07Arpits

The story of one of Indias favorite brands reads almost like a fairy tale Once upon a time in 1892 to be precise a biscuit company was started in a nondescript house in Calcutta (now Kolkata) with an initial investment of Rs 295 The company we all know as Britannia today

The beginnings might have been humble-the dreams were anything but By 1910 with the advent of electricity Britannia mechanized its operations and in 1921 it became the first company east of the Suez Canal to use imported gas ovens Britannias business was flourishing But more importantly Britannia was acquiring a reputation for quality and value As a result during the tragic World War II the Government reposed its trust in Britannia by contracting it to supply large quantities of service biscuits to the armed forces

As time moved on the biscuit market continued to growhellip and Britannia grew along with it In 1975 the Britannia Biscuit Company took over the distribution of biscuits from Parrys who till now distributed Britannia biscuits in India In the subsequent public issue of 1978 Indian shareholding crossed 60 firmly establishing the Indians of the firm The following year Britannia Biscuit Company was re-christened Britannia Industries Limited (BIL) Four years later in 1983 it crossed the Rs 100 crore revenue mark

On the operations front the company was making equally dynamic strides In 1992 it celebrated its Platinum Jubilee In 1997 the company unveiled its new corporate identity

Overveiw of the Company

Eat Healthy Think Better - and made its first foray into the dairy products market In 1999 the Britannia Khao World Cup Jao promotion further fortified the affinity consumers had with Brand Britannia

Britannia strode into the 21st Century as one of Indias biggest brands and the pre-eminent food brand of the country It was equally recognized for its innovative approach to products and marketing the Lagaan Match was voted Indias most successful promotional activity of the year 2001 while the delicious Britannia 50-50 Maska-Chaska became Indias most successful product launch In 2002 Britannias New Business Division formed a joint venture with Fonterra the worlds second largest Dairy Company and Britannia New Zealand Foods Pvt Ltd was born In recognition of its vision and accelerating graph Forbes Global rated Britannia One amongst the Top 200 Small Companies of the World and The Economic Times pegged Britannia Indias 2nd Most Trusted Brand

Today more than a century after those tentative first steps Britannias fairy tale is not only going strong but blazing new standards and that minuscule initial investment has grown by leaps and bounds to crore of rupees in wealth for Britannias shareholders The companys offerings are spread across the spectrum with products ranging from the healthy and economical Tiger biscuits to the more lifestyle-oriented Milkman Cheese Having succeeded in garnering the trust of almost one-third of Indias one billion population and a strong management at the helm means Britannia will continue to dream big on its path of innovation and quality And millions of consumers will savor the results happily ever after

Britannia -the biscuit leader with a history-has withstood the tests of time Part of the reason for its success has been its ability to resonate with the changes in consumer needs-needs that have varied significantly across its 100+ year epoch With consumer democracy reaching new levels the one common thread to emerge in recent times has been the shift in lifestyles and a corresponding awareness of health People are increasingly becoming conscious of dietary care and its correlation to wellness and matching the new pace to their lives with improved nutritional and dietary habits This new awareness has seen consumers seeking foods that complement their lifestyles while offering convenience variety and economy over and above health and nutrition

Britannia saw the writing on the wall Its Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao (Eat Healthy Think Better) re-position directly addressed this new trend by promising the new generation a healthy and nutritious alternative - that was also delightful and tasty

Thus the new logo was born encapsulating the core essence of Britannia - healthy nutritious optimistic - and combining it with a delightful product range to offer variety and choice to consumers

In-between-meals snacking is an integral part of a childs daily food routine as it serves as a hunger filler in between meals However most of the choices available in the market are universal in nature and largely address the delight needs of all consumers they do not necessarily provide the essential top up nutrition that children should have in their growing years Research conducted by Britannia showed that mothers would be happy to have a solution which is a good balance of nutrition for children in a snack format

With this in mind Britannia Industries Ltd one of Indias most trusted food brands with a diverse portfolio of products in biscuits bakery and dairy categories launched Milk Bikis Almond Cookie - with the wholesome goodness of Milk amp Almond in a delightful waffle cookie

The brand quickly became a leader in Britannias portfolio and consequently Snax was revamped as a lighter product and renamed Britannia Timepass Classic Salted To further the franchise of the Timepass brand a variant Nimkee was introduced in the Eastern market in April 2003 and then taken nationwide after a favourable response Judging by its history the resounding success of Britannia Timepass will continue to grow

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

PeriodOf The Study

Page 07Arpits

The story of one of Indias favorite brands reads almost like a fairy tale Once upon a time in 1892 to be precise a biscuit company was started in a nondescript house in Calcutta (now Kolkata) with an initial investment of Rs 295 The company we all know as Britannia today

The beginnings might have been humble-the dreams were anything but By 1910 with the advent of electricity Britannia mechanized its operations and in 1921 it became the first company east of the Suez Canal to use imported gas ovens Britannias business was flourishing But more importantly Britannia was acquiring a reputation for quality and value As a result during the tragic World War II the Government reposed its trust in Britannia by contracting it to supply large quantities of service biscuits to the armed forces

As time moved on the biscuit market continued to growhellip and Britannia grew along with it In 1975 the Britannia Biscuit Company took over the distribution of biscuits from Parrys who till now distributed Britannia biscuits in India In the subsequent public issue of 1978 Indian shareholding crossed 60 firmly establishing the Indians of the firm The following year Britannia Biscuit Company was re-christened Britannia Industries Limited (BIL) Four years later in 1983 it crossed the Rs 100 crore revenue mark

On the operations front the company was making equally dynamic strides In 1992 it celebrated its Platinum Jubilee In 1997 the company unveiled its new corporate identity

Overveiw of the Company

Page 08Arpits

Eat Healthy Think Better - and made its first foray into the dairy products market In 1999 the Britannia Khao World Cup Jao promotion further fortified the affinity consumers had with Brand Britannia

Britannia strode into the 21st Century as one of Indias biggest brands and the pre-eminent food brand of the country It was equally recognized for its innovative approach to products and marketing the Lagaan Match was voted Indias most successful promotional activity of the year 2001 while the delicious Britannia 50-50 Maska-Chaska became Indias most successful product launch In 2002 Britannias New Business Division formed a joint venture with Fonterra the worlds second largest Dairy Company and Britannia New Zealand Foods Pvt Ltd was born In recognition of its vision and accelerating graph Forbes Global rated Britannia One amongst the Top 200 Small Companies of the World and The Economic Times pegged Britannia Indias 2nd Most Trusted Brand

Today more than a century after those tentative first steps Britannias fairy tale is not only going strong but blazing new standards and that minuscule initial investment has grown by leaps and bounds to crore of rupees in wealth for Britannias shareholders The companys offerings are spread across the spectrum with products ranging from the healthy and economical Tiger biscuits to the more lifestyle-oriented Milkman Cheese Having succeeded in garnering the trust of almost one-third of Indias one billion population and a strong management at the helm means Britannia will continue to dream big on its path of innovation and quality And millions of consumers will savor the results happily ever after

Britannia -the biscuit leader with a history-has withstood the tests of time Part of the reason for its success has been its ability to resonate with the changes in consumer needs-needs that have varied significantly across its 100+ year epoch With consumer democracy reaching new levels the one common thread to emerge in recent times has been the shift in lifestyles and a corresponding awareness of health People are increasingly becoming conscious of dietary care and its correlation to wellness and matching the new pace to their lives with improved nutritional and dietary habits This new awareness has seen consumers seeking foods that complement their lifestyles while offering convenience variety and economy over and above health and nutrition

Britannia saw the writing on the wall Its Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao (Eat Healthy Think Better) re-position directly addressed this new trend by promising the new generation a healthy and nutritious alternative - that was also delightful and tasty

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Page 3: SUMMER TRAINING PROJECT

PREFACE

It gives an immense pleasure to present on the topic of Production of Biscuits From Short Dough By the time I completed this project I understood how important it was for a BBA student to do summer training in between the BBA program

I have selected this topic because I was very keen to know about the know how of production system A distinct feature about this project is that it provides a penetrating and comprehensive analysis of all the aspects of production concept and how it defers from bookish knowledge in a simple and lucid style

A project is involving a lot of extensive study and research it also gave me a great deal of exposure to the production department of an industry I hope this project would prove useful to its readers if it deserves

PeriodOf The Study

Page 07Arpits

The story of one of Indias favorite brands reads almost like a fairy tale Once upon a time in 1892 to be precise a biscuit company was started in a nondescript house in Calcutta (now Kolkata) with an initial investment of Rs 295 The company we all know as Britannia today

The beginnings might have been humble-the dreams were anything but By 1910 with the advent of electricity Britannia mechanized its operations and in 1921 it became the first company east of the Suez Canal to use imported gas ovens Britannias business was flourishing But more importantly Britannia was acquiring a reputation for quality and value As a result during the tragic World War II the Government reposed its trust in Britannia by contracting it to supply large quantities of service biscuits to the armed forces

As time moved on the biscuit market continued to growhellip and Britannia grew along with it In 1975 the Britannia Biscuit Company took over the distribution of biscuits from Parrys who till now distributed Britannia biscuits in India In the subsequent public issue of 1978 Indian shareholding crossed 60 firmly establishing the Indians of the firm The following year Britannia Biscuit Company was re-christened Britannia Industries Limited (BIL) Four years later in 1983 it crossed the Rs 100 crore revenue mark

On the operations front the company was making equally dynamic strides In 1992 it celebrated its Platinum Jubilee In 1997 the company unveiled its new corporate identity

Overveiw of the Company

Eat Healthy Think Better - and made its first foray into the dairy products market In 1999 the Britannia Khao World Cup Jao promotion further fortified the affinity consumers had with Brand Britannia

Britannia strode into the 21st Century as one of Indias biggest brands and the pre-eminent food brand of the country It was equally recognized for its innovative approach to products and marketing the Lagaan Match was voted Indias most successful promotional activity of the year 2001 while the delicious Britannia 50-50 Maska-Chaska became Indias most successful product launch In 2002 Britannias New Business Division formed a joint venture with Fonterra the worlds second largest Dairy Company and Britannia New Zealand Foods Pvt Ltd was born In recognition of its vision and accelerating graph Forbes Global rated Britannia One amongst the Top 200 Small Companies of the World and The Economic Times pegged Britannia Indias 2nd Most Trusted Brand

Today more than a century after those tentative first steps Britannias fairy tale is not only going strong but blazing new standards and that minuscule initial investment has grown by leaps and bounds to crore of rupees in wealth for Britannias shareholders The companys offerings are spread across the spectrum with products ranging from the healthy and economical Tiger biscuits to the more lifestyle-oriented Milkman Cheese Having succeeded in garnering the trust of almost one-third of Indias one billion population and a strong management at the helm means Britannia will continue to dream big on its path of innovation and quality And millions of consumers will savor the results happily ever after

Britannia -the biscuit leader with a history-has withstood the tests of time Part of the reason for its success has been its ability to resonate with the changes in consumer needs-needs that have varied significantly across its 100+ year epoch With consumer democracy reaching new levels the one common thread to emerge in recent times has been the shift in lifestyles and a corresponding awareness of health People are increasingly becoming conscious of dietary care and its correlation to wellness and matching the new pace to their lives with improved nutritional and dietary habits This new awareness has seen consumers seeking foods that complement their lifestyles while offering convenience variety and economy over and above health and nutrition

Britannia saw the writing on the wall Its Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao (Eat Healthy Think Better) re-position directly addressed this new trend by promising the new generation a healthy and nutritious alternative - that was also delightful and tasty

Thus the new logo was born encapsulating the core essence of Britannia - healthy nutritious optimistic - and combining it with a delightful product range to offer variety and choice to consumers

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

PeriodOf The Study

Page 07Arpits

The story of one of Indias favorite brands reads almost like a fairy tale Once upon a time in 1892 to be precise a biscuit company was started in a nondescript house in Calcutta (now Kolkata) with an initial investment of Rs 295 The company we all know as Britannia today

The beginnings might have been humble-the dreams were anything but By 1910 with the advent of electricity Britannia mechanized its operations and in 1921 it became the first company east of the Suez Canal to use imported gas ovens Britannias business was flourishing But more importantly Britannia was acquiring a reputation for quality and value As a result during the tragic World War II the Government reposed its trust in Britannia by contracting it to supply large quantities of service biscuits to the armed forces

As time moved on the biscuit market continued to growhellip and Britannia grew along with it In 1975 the Britannia Biscuit Company took over the distribution of biscuits from Parrys who till now distributed Britannia biscuits in India In the subsequent public issue of 1978 Indian shareholding crossed 60 firmly establishing the Indians of the firm The following year Britannia Biscuit Company was re-christened Britannia Industries Limited (BIL) Four years later in 1983 it crossed the Rs 100 crore revenue mark

On the operations front the company was making equally dynamic strides In 1992 it celebrated its Platinum Jubilee In 1997 the company unveiled its new corporate identity

Overveiw of the Company

Page 08Arpits

Eat Healthy Think Better - and made its first foray into the dairy products market In 1999 the Britannia Khao World Cup Jao promotion further fortified the affinity consumers had with Brand Britannia

Britannia strode into the 21st Century as one of Indias biggest brands and the pre-eminent food brand of the country It was equally recognized for its innovative approach to products and marketing the Lagaan Match was voted Indias most successful promotional activity of the year 2001 while the delicious Britannia 50-50 Maska-Chaska became Indias most successful product launch In 2002 Britannias New Business Division formed a joint venture with Fonterra the worlds second largest Dairy Company and Britannia New Zealand Foods Pvt Ltd was born In recognition of its vision and accelerating graph Forbes Global rated Britannia One amongst the Top 200 Small Companies of the World and The Economic Times pegged Britannia Indias 2nd Most Trusted Brand

Today more than a century after those tentative first steps Britannias fairy tale is not only going strong but blazing new standards and that minuscule initial investment has grown by leaps and bounds to crore of rupees in wealth for Britannias shareholders The companys offerings are spread across the spectrum with products ranging from the healthy and economical Tiger biscuits to the more lifestyle-oriented Milkman Cheese Having succeeded in garnering the trust of almost one-third of Indias one billion population and a strong management at the helm means Britannia will continue to dream big on its path of innovation and quality And millions of consumers will savor the results happily ever after

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Page 70Arpits

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

4 Caramelisaion of sugar5 Dexterisation

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

PeriodOf The Study

Page 07Arpits

The story of one of Indias favorite brands reads almost like a fairy tale Once upon a time in 1892 to be precise a biscuit company was started in a nondescript house in Calcutta (now Kolkata) with an initial investment of Rs 295 The company we all know as Britannia today

The beginnings might have been humble-the dreams were anything but By 1910 with the advent of electricity Britannia mechanized its operations and in 1921 it became the first company east of the Suez Canal to use imported gas ovens Britannias business was flourishing But more importantly Britannia was acquiring a reputation for quality and value As a result during the tragic World War II the Government reposed its trust in Britannia by contracting it to supply large quantities of service biscuits to the armed forces

As time moved on the biscuit market continued to growhellip and Britannia grew along with it In 1975 the Britannia Biscuit Company took over the distribution of biscuits from Parrys who till now distributed Britannia biscuits in India In the subsequent public issue of 1978 Indian shareholding crossed 60 firmly establishing the Indians of the firm The following year Britannia Biscuit Company was re-christened Britannia Industries Limited (BIL) Four years later in 1983 it crossed the Rs 100 crore revenue mark

On the operations front the company was making equally dynamic strides In 1992 it celebrated its Platinum Jubilee In 1997 the company unveiled its new corporate identity

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Page 72Arpits

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

Page 88Arpits

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

PeriodOf The Study

Page 07Arpits

The story of one of Indias favorite brands reads almost like a fairy tale Once upon a time in 1892 to be precise a biscuit company was started in a nondescript house in Calcutta (now Kolkata) with an initial investment of Rs 295 The company we all know as Britannia today

The beginnings might have been humble-the dreams were anything but By 1910 with the advent of electricity Britannia mechanized its operations and in 1921 it became the first company east of the Suez Canal to use imported gas ovens Britannias business was flourishing But more importantly Britannia was acquiring a reputation for quality and value As a result during the tragic World War II the Government reposed its trust in Britannia by contracting it to supply large quantities of service biscuits to the armed forces

As time moved on the biscuit market continued to growhellip and Britannia grew along with it In 1975 the Britannia Biscuit Company took over the distribution of biscuits from Parrys who till now distributed Britannia biscuits in India In the subsequent public issue of 1978 Indian shareholding crossed 60 firmly establishing the Indians of the firm The following year Britannia Biscuit Company was re-christened Britannia Industries Limited (BIL) Four years later in 1983 it crossed the Rs 100 crore revenue mark

On the operations front the company was making equally dynamic strides In 1992 it celebrated its Platinum Jubilee In 1997 the company unveiled its new corporate identity

Overveiw of the Company

Eat Healthy Think Better - and made its first foray into the dairy products market In 1999 the Britannia Khao World Cup Jao promotion further fortified the affinity consumers had with Brand Britannia

Britannia strode into the 21st Century as one of Indias biggest brands and the pre-eminent food brand of the country It was equally recognized for its innovative approach to products and marketing the Lagaan Match was voted Indias most successful promotional activity of the year 2001 while the delicious Britannia 50-50 Maska-Chaska became Indias most successful product launch In 2002 Britannias New Business Division formed a joint venture with Fonterra the worlds second largest Dairy Company and Britannia New Zealand Foods Pvt Ltd was born In recognition of its vision and accelerating graph Forbes Global rated Britannia One amongst the Top 200 Small Companies of the World and The Economic Times pegged Britannia Indias 2nd Most Trusted Brand

Today more than a century after those tentative first steps Britannias fairy tale is not only going strong but blazing new standards and that minuscule initial investment has grown by leaps and bounds to crore of rupees in wealth for Britannias shareholders The companys offerings are spread across the spectrum with products ranging from the healthy and economical Tiger biscuits to the more lifestyle-oriented Milkman Cheese Having succeeded in garnering the trust of almost one-third of Indias one billion population and a strong management at the helm means Britannia will continue to dream big on its path of innovation and quality And millions of consumers will savor the results happily ever after

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

PeriodOf The Study

Page 07Arpits

The story of one of Indias favorite brands reads almost like a fairy tale Once upon a time in 1892 to be precise a biscuit company was started in a nondescript house in Calcutta (now Kolkata) with an initial investment of Rs 295 The company we all know as Britannia today

The beginnings might have been humble-the dreams were anything but By 1910 with the advent of electricity Britannia mechanized its operations and in 1921 it became the first company east of the Suez Canal to use imported gas ovens Britannias business was flourishing But more importantly Britannia was acquiring a reputation for quality and value As a result during the tragic World War II the Government reposed its trust in Britannia by contracting it to supply large quantities of service biscuits to the armed forces

As time moved on the biscuit market continued to growhellip and Britannia grew along with it In 1975 the Britannia Biscuit Company took over the distribution of biscuits from Parrys who till now distributed Britannia biscuits in India In the subsequent public issue of 1978 Indian shareholding crossed 60 firmly establishing the Indians of the firm The following year Britannia Biscuit Company was re-christened Britannia Industries Limited (BIL) Four years later in 1983 it crossed the Rs 100 crore revenue mark

On the operations front the company was making equally dynamic strides In 1992 it celebrated its Platinum Jubilee In 1997 the company unveiled its new corporate identity

Overveiw of the Company

Page 08Arpits

Eat Healthy Think Better - and made its first foray into the dairy products market In 1999 the Britannia Khao World Cup Jao promotion further fortified the affinity consumers had with Brand Britannia

Britannia strode into the 21st Century as one of Indias biggest brands and the pre-eminent food brand of the country It was equally recognized for its innovative approach to products and marketing the Lagaan Match was voted Indias most successful promotional activity of the year 2001 while the delicious Britannia 50-50 Maska-Chaska became Indias most successful product launch In 2002 Britannias New Business Division formed a joint venture with Fonterra the worlds second largest Dairy Company and Britannia New Zealand Foods Pvt Ltd was born In recognition of its vision and accelerating graph Forbes Global rated Britannia One amongst the Top 200 Small Companies of the World and The Economic Times pegged Britannia Indias 2nd Most Trusted Brand

Today more than a century after those tentative first steps Britannias fairy tale is not only going strong but blazing new standards and that minuscule initial investment has grown by leaps and bounds to crore of rupees in wealth for Britannias shareholders The companys offerings are spread across the spectrum with products ranging from the healthy and economical Tiger biscuits to the more lifestyle-oriented Milkman Cheese Having succeeded in garnering the trust of almost one-third of Indias one billion population and a strong management at the helm means Britannia will continue to dream big on its path of innovation and quality And millions of consumers will savor the results happily ever after

Britannia -the biscuit leader with a history-has withstood the tests of time Part of the reason for its success has been its ability to resonate with the changes in consumer needs-needs that have varied significantly across its 100+ year epoch With consumer democracy reaching new levels the one common thread to emerge in recent times has been the shift in lifestyles and a corresponding awareness of health People are increasingly becoming conscious of dietary care and its correlation to wellness and matching the new pace to their lives with improved nutritional and dietary habits This new awareness has seen consumers seeking foods that complement their lifestyles while offering convenience variety and economy over and above health and nutrition

Britannia saw the writing on the wall Its Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao (Eat Healthy Think Better) re-position directly addressed this new trend by promising the new generation a healthy and nutritious alternative - that was also delightful and tasty

Thus the new logo was born encapsulating the core essence of Britannia - healthy nutritious optimistic - and combining it with a delightful product range to offer variety and choice to consumers

Page 40Arpits

In-between-meals snacking is an integral part of a childs daily food routine as it serves as a hunger filler in between meals However most of the choices available in the market are universal in nature and largely address the delight needs of all consumers they do not necessarily provide the essential top up nutrition that children should have in their growing years Research conducted by Britannia showed that mothers would be happy to have a solution which is a good balance of nutrition for children in a snack format

With this in mind Britannia Industries Ltd one of Indias most trusted food brands with a diverse portfolio of products in biscuits bakery and dairy categories launched Milk Bikis Almond Cookie - with the wholesome goodness of Milk amp Almond in a delightful waffle cookie

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Page 8: SUMMER TRAINING PROJECT

The story of one of Indias favorite brands reads almost like a fairy tale Once upon a time in 1892 to be precise a biscuit company was started in a nondescript house in Calcutta (now Kolkata) with an initial investment of Rs 295 The company we all know as Britannia today

The beginnings might have been humble-the dreams were anything but By 1910 with the advent of electricity Britannia mechanized its operations and in 1921 it became the first company east of the Suez Canal to use imported gas ovens Britannias business was flourishing But more importantly Britannia was acquiring a reputation for quality and value As a result during the tragic World War II the Government reposed its trust in Britannia by contracting it to supply large quantities of service biscuits to the armed forces

As time moved on the biscuit market continued to growhellip and Britannia grew along with it In 1975 the Britannia Biscuit Company took over the distribution of biscuits from Parrys who till now distributed Britannia biscuits in India In the subsequent public issue of 1978 Indian shareholding crossed 60 firmly establishing the Indians of the firm The following year Britannia Biscuit Company was re-christened Britannia Industries Limited (BIL) Four years later in 1983 it crossed the Rs 100 crore revenue mark

On the operations front the company was making equally dynamic strides In 1992 it celebrated its Platinum Jubilee In 1997 the company unveiled its new corporate identity

Overveiw of the Company

Page 08Arpits

Eat Healthy Think Better - and made its first foray into the dairy products market In 1999 the Britannia Khao World Cup Jao promotion further fortified the affinity consumers had with Brand Britannia

Britannia strode into the 21st Century as one of Indias biggest brands and the pre-eminent food brand of the country It was equally recognized for its innovative approach to products and marketing the Lagaan Match was voted Indias most successful promotional activity of the year 2001 while the delicious Britannia 50-50 Maska-Chaska became Indias most successful product launch In 2002 Britannias New Business Division formed a joint venture with Fonterra the worlds second largest Dairy Company and Britannia New Zealand Foods Pvt Ltd was born In recognition of its vision and accelerating graph Forbes Global rated Britannia One amongst the Top 200 Small Companies of the World and The Economic Times pegged Britannia Indias 2nd Most Trusted Brand

Today more than a century after those tentative first steps Britannias fairy tale is not only going strong but blazing new standards and that minuscule initial investment has grown by leaps and bounds to crore of rupees in wealth for Britannias shareholders The companys offerings are spread across the spectrum with products ranging from the healthy and economical Tiger biscuits to the more lifestyle-oriented Milkman Cheese Having succeeded in garnering the trust of almost one-third of Indias one billion population and a strong management at the helm means Britannia will continue to dream big on its path of innovation and quality And millions of consumers will savor the results happily ever after

Britannia -the biscuit leader with a history-has withstood the tests of time Part of the reason for its success has been its ability to resonate with the changes in consumer needs-needs that have varied significantly across its 100+ year epoch With consumer democracy reaching new levels the one common thread to emerge in recent times has been the shift in lifestyles and a corresponding awareness of health People are increasingly becoming conscious of dietary care and its correlation to wellness and matching the new pace to their lives with improved nutritional and dietary habits This new awareness has seen consumers seeking foods that complement their lifestyles while offering convenience variety and economy over and above health and nutrition

Britannia saw the writing on the wall Its Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao (Eat Healthy Think Better) re-position directly addressed this new trend by promising the new generation a healthy and nutritious alternative - that was also delightful and tasty

Thus the new logo was born encapsulating the core essence of Britannia - healthy nutritious optimistic - and combining it with a delightful product range to offer variety and choice to consumers

Time Pass

Before Timepass Britannias offering in the salted cracker category was Snax Launched in 1999 Snax was promoted as a tastier base for toppings through edgy advertising

Then in late 2000 supported by aggressive advertising that featured the brand as a perfect partner for timepass moments Britannia Timepass was launched

The brand quickly became a leader in Britannias portfolio and consequently Snax was revamped as a lighter product and renamed Britannia Timepass Classic Salted To further the franchise of the Timepass brand a variant Nimkee was introduced in the Eastern market in April 2003 and then taken nationwide after a favourable response Judging by its history the resounding success of Britannia Timepass will continue to grow

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Britannia -the biscuit leader with a history-has withstood the tests of time Part of the reason for its success has been its ability to resonate with the changes in consumer needs-needs that have varied significantly across its 100+ year epoch With consumer democracy reaching new levels the one common thread to emerge in recent times has been the shift in lifestyles and a corresponding awareness of health People are increasingly becoming conscious of dietary care and its correlation to wellness and matching the new pace to their lives with improved nutritional and dietary habits This new awareness has seen consumers seeking foods that complement their lifestyles while offering convenience variety and economy over and above health and nutrition

Britannia saw the writing on the wall Its Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao (Eat Healthy Think Better) re-position directly addressed this new trend by promising the new generation a healthy and nutritious alternative - that was also delightful and tasty

Thus the new logo was born encapsulating the core essence of Britannia - healthy nutritious optimistic - and combining it with a delightful product range to offer variety and choice to consumers

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Britannia -the biscuit leader with a history-has withstood the tests of time Part of the reason for its success has been its ability to resonate with the changes in consumer needs-needs that have varied significantly across its 100+ year epoch With consumer democracy reaching new levels the one common thread to emerge in recent times has been the shift in lifestyles and a corresponding awareness of health People are increasingly becoming conscious of dietary care and its correlation to wellness and matching the new pace to their lives with improved nutritional and dietary habits This new awareness has seen consumers seeking foods that complement their lifestyles while offering convenience variety and economy over and above health and nutrition

Britannia saw the writing on the wall Its Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao (Eat Healthy Think Better) re-position directly addressed this new trend by promising the new generation a healthy and nutritious alternative - that was also delightful and tasty

Thus the new logo was born encapsulating the core essence of Britannia - healthy nutritious optimistic - and combining it with a delightful product range to offer variety and choice to consumers

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Britannia -the biscuit leader with a history-has withstood the tests of time Part of the reason for its success has been its ability to resonate with the changes in consumer needs-needs that have varied significantly across its 100+ year epoch With consumer democracy reaching new levels the one common thread to emerge in recent times has been the shift in lifestyles and a corresponding awareness of health People are increasingly becoming conscious of dietary care and its correlation to wellness and matching the new pace to their lives with improved nutritional and dietary habits This new awareness has seen consumers seeking foods that complement their lifestyles while offering convenience variety and economy over and above health and nutrition

Britannia saw the writing on the wall Its Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao (Eat Healthy Think Better) re-position directly addressed this new trend by promising the new generation a healthy and nutritious alternative - that was also delightful and tasty

Thus the new logo was born encapsulating the core essence of Britannia - healthy nutritious optimistic - and combining it with a delightful product range to offer variety and choice to consumers

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Britannia -the biscuit leader with a history-has withstood the tests of time Part of the reason for its success has been its ability to resonate with the changes in consumer needs-needs that have varied significantly across its 100+ year epoch With consumer democracy reaching new levels the one common thread to emerge in recent times has been the shift in lifestyles and a corresponding awareness of health People are increasingly becoming conscious of dietary care and its correlation to wellness and matching the new pace to their lives with improved nutritional and dietary habits This new awareness has seen consumers seeking foods that complement their lifestyles while offering convenience variety and economy over and above health and nutrition

Britannia saw the writing on the wall Its Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao (Eat Healthy Think Better) re-position directly addressed this new trend by promising the new generation a healthy and nutritious alternative - that was also delightful and tasty

Thus the new logo was born encapsulating the core essence of Britannia - healthy nutritious optimistic - and combining it with a delightful product range to offer variety and choice to consumers

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Britannia -the biscuit leader with a history-has withstood the tests of time Part of the reason for its success has been its ability to resonate with the changes in consumer needs-needs that have varied significantly across its 100+ year epoch With consumer democracy reaching new levels the one common thread to emerge in recent times has been the shift in lifestyles and a corresponding awareness of health People are increasingly becoming conscious of dietary care and its correlation to wellness and matching the new pace to their lives with improved nutritional and dietary habits This new awareness has seen consumers seeking foods that complement their lifestyles while offering convenience variety and economy over and above health and nutrition

Britannia saw the writing on the wall Its Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao (Eat Healthy Think Better) re-position directly addressed this new trend by promising the new generation a healthy and nutritious alternative - that was also delightful and tasty

Thus the new logo was born encapsulating the core essence of Britannia - healthy nutritious optimistic - and combining it with a delightful product range to offer variety and choice to consumers

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Britannia -the biscuit leader with a history-has withstood the tests of time Part of the reason for its success has been its ability to resonate with the changes in consumer needs-needs that have varied significantly across its 100+ year epoch With consumer democracy reaching new levels the one common thread to emerge in recent times has been the shift in lifestyles and a corresponding awareness of health People are increasingly becoming conscious of dietary care and its correlation to wellness and matching the new pace to their lives with improved nutritional and dietary habits This new awareness has seen consumers seeking foods that complement their lifestyles while offering convenience variety and economy over and above health and nutrition

Britannia saw the writing on the wall Its Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao (Eat Healthy Think Better) re-position directly addressed this new trend by promising the new generation a healthy and nutritious alternative - that was also delightful and tasty

Thus the new logo was born encapsulating the core essence of Britannia - healthy nutritious optimistic - and combining it with a delightful product range to offer variety and choice to consumers

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Time Pass

Before Timepass Britannias offering in the salted cracker category was Snax Launched in 1999 Snax was promoted as a tastier base for toppings through edgy advertising

Then in late 2000 supported by aggressive advertising that featured the brand as a perfect partner for timepass moments Britannia Timepass was launched

The brand quickly became a leader in Britannias portfolio and consequently Snax was revamped as a lighter product and renamed Britannia Timepass Classic Salted To further the franchise of the Timepass brand a variant Nimkee was introduced in the Eastern market in April 2003 and then taken nationwide after a favourable response Judging by its history the resounding success of Britannia Timepass will continue to grow

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Page 70Arpits

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

Page 88Arpits

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Britannia -the biscuit leader with a history-has withstood the tests of time Part of the reason for its success has been its ability to resonate with the changes in consumer needs-needs that have varied significantly across its 100+ year epoch With consumer democracy reaching new levels the one common thread to emerge in recent times has been the shift in lifestyles and a corresponding awareness of health People are increasingly becoming conscious of dietary care and its correlation to wellness and matching the new pace to their lives with improved nutritional and dietary habits This new awareness has seen consumers seeking foods that complement their lifestyles while offering convenience variety and economy over and above health and nutrition

Britannia saw the writing on the wall Its Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao (Eat Healthy Think Better) re-position directly addressed this new trend by promising the new generation a healthy and nutritious alternative - that was also delightful and tasty

Thus the new logo was born encapsulating the core essence of Britannia - healthy nutritious optimistic - and combining it with a delightful product range to offer variety and choice to consumers

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

PRODUCTION process of Biscuits

Page 72Arpits

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Britannia -the biscuit leader with a history-has withstood the tests of time Part of the reason for its success has been its ability to resonate with the changes in consumer needs-needs that have varied significantly across its 100+ year epoch With consumer democracy reaching new levels the one common thread to emerge in recent times has been the shift in lifestyles and a corresponding awareness of health People are increasingly becoming conscious of dietary care and its correlation to wellness and matching the new pace to their lives with improved nutritional and dietary habits This new awareness has seen consumers seeking foods that complement their lifestyles while offering convenience variety and economy over and above health and nutrition

Britannia saw the writing on the wall Its Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao (Eat Healthy Think Better) re-position directly addressed this new trend by promising the new generation a healthy and nutritious alternative - that was also delightful and tasty

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Page 70Arpits

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

Page 88Arpits

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Page 72Arpits

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Time Pass

Before Timepass Britannias offering in the salted cracker category was Snax Launched in 1999 Snax was promoted as a tastier base for toppings through edgy advertising

Then in late 2000 supported by aggressive advertising that featured the brand as a perfect partner for timepass moments Britannia Timepass was launched

The brand quickly became a leader in Britannias portfolio and consequently Snax was revamped as a lighter product and renamed Britannia Timepass Classic Salted To further the franchise of the Timepass brand a variant Nimkee was introduced in the Eastern market in April 2003 and then taken nationwide after a favourable response Judging by its history the resounding success of Britannia Timepass will continue to grow

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

Page 88Arpits

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Page 70Arpits

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

Page 88Arpits

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Page 54Arpits

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

Page 88Arpits

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Page 54Arpits

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Page 70Arpits

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

Page 88Arpits

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Time Pass

Before Timepass Britannias offering in the salted cracker category was Snax Launched in 1999 Snax was promoted as a tastier base for toppings through edgy advertising

Then in late 2000 supported by aggressive advertising that featured the brand as a perfect partner for timepass moments Britannia Timepass was launched

The brand quickly became a leader in Britannias portfolio and consequently Snax was revamped as a lighter product and renamed Britannia Timepass Classic Salted To further the franchise of the Timepass brand a variant Nimkee was introduced in the Eastern market in April 2003 and then taken nationwide after a favourable response Judging by its history the resounding success of Britannia Timepass will continue to grow

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Dough Separating Device

Short Dough Biscuits

Short dough biscuits are produced on lines which consist of a sheeter and calibration rollers After producing an endless dough sheet the desired dough blanks are cut by a single roller or double roller system The resulting network of scrap dough is fed back to the sheeter

The blanks are baked in a hybrid oven (directly heated in feed combined with radiation which can be provided with or without convection) on a wire mesh band

Dough Mixing

The HSM is used for preparing doughs for the production of dressed molded root-pressed (queen) and wire-cut biscuits hard and semi-hard biscuits as well as crackers

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Time Pass

Before Timepass Britannias offering in the salted cracker category was Snax Launched in 1999 Snax was promoted as a tastier base for toppings through edgy advertising

Then in late 2000 supported by aggressive advertising that featured the brand as a perfect partner for timepass moments Britannia Timepass was launched

The brand quickly became a leader in Britannias portfolio and consequently Snax was revamped as a lighter product and renamed Britannia Timepass Classic Salted To further the franchise of the Timepass brand a variant Nimkee was introduced in the Eastern market in April 2003 and then taken nationwide after a favourable response Judging by its history the resounding success of Britannia Timepass will continue to grow

Nutri Choice

In continuation of the promise of Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao Britannia introduced NutriChoice range of healthy biscuits in 1998 The brand is targeted towards overall health and wellness for adults

The range has for long comprised of three popular variants namely NutriChoice Thin Arrowroot NutriChoice Cream Cracker and NutriChoice Digestive

NutriChoice Thin Arrowroot - An ageless classicExtremely popular in East India for over 4 decades (where it is affectionately referred to as Britannia Theen) this brand contains the benefits of arrowroot known to aid digestion and remove harmful toxins from the body Prior to 1998 it was being marketed as Britannia Jacobs Thin

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Findings

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Time Pass

Before Timepass Britannias offering in the salted cracker category was Snax Launched in 1999 Snax was promoted as a tastier base for toppings through edgy advertising

Then in late 2000 supported by aggressive advertising that featured the brand as a perfect partner for timepass moments Britannia Timepass was launched

The brand quickly became a leader in Britannias portfolio and consequently Snax was revamped as a lighter product and renamed Britannia Timepass Classic Salted To further the franchise of the Timepass brand a variant Nimkee was introduced in the Eastern market in April 2003 and then taken nationwide after a favourable response Judging by its history the resounding success of Britannia Timepass will continue to grow

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Dough Separating Device

Short Dough Biscuits

Short dough biscuits are produced on lines which consist of a sheeter and calibration rollers After producing an endless dough sheet the desired dough blanks are cut by a single roller or double roller system The resulting network of scrap dough is fed back to the sheeter

The blanks are baked in a hybrid oven (directly heated in feed combined with radiation which can be provided with or without convection) on a wire mesh band

Dough Mixing

The HSM is used for preparing doughs for the production of dressed molded root-pressed (queen) and wire-cut biscuits hard and semi-hard biscuits as well as crackers

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Page 70Arpits

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

Page 88Arpits

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Page 54Arpits

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Page 59Arpits

Dough Separating Device

Short Dough Biscuits

Short dough biscuits are produced on lines which consist of a sheeter and calibration rollers After producing an endless dough sheet the desired dough blanks are cut by a single roller or double roller system The resulting network of scrap dough is fed back to the sheeter

The blanks are baked in a hybrid oven (directly heated in feed combined with radiation which can be provided with or without convection) on a wire mesh band

Dough Mixing

The HSM is used for preparing doughs for the production of dressed molded root-pressed (queen) and wire-cut biscuits hard and semi-hard biscuits as well as crackers

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

PRODUCTION process of Biscuits

Page 72Arpits

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

PRODUCTION process of Biscuits

Page 72Arpits

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

Page 88Arpits

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Page 59Arpits

Dough Separating Device

Short Dough Biscuits

Short dough biscuits are produced on lines which consist of a sheeter and calibration rollers After producing an endless dough sheet the desired dough blanks are cut by a single roller or double roller system The resulting network of scrap dough is fed back to the sheeter

The blanks are baked in a hybrid oven (directly heated in feed combined with radiation which can be provided with or without convection) on a wire mesh band

Dough Mixing

The HSM is used for preparing doughs for the production of dressed molded root-pressed (queen) and wire-cut biscuits hard and semi-hard biscuits as well as crackers

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

PRODUCTION process of Biscuits

Page 72Arpits

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Page 59Arpits

Dough Separating Device

Short Dough Biscuits

Short dough biscuits are produced on lines which consist of a sheeter and calibration rollers After producing an endless dough sheet the desired dough blanks are cut by a single roller or double roller system The resulting network of scrap dough is fed back to the sheeter

The blanks are baked in a hybrid oven (directly heated in feed combined with radiation which can be provided with or without convection) on a wire mesh band

Dough Mixing

The HSM is used for preparing doughs for the production of dressed molded root-pressed (queen) and wire-cut biscuits hard and semi-hard biscuits as well as crackers

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Page 70Arpits

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Page 70Arpits

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Sweet or salty Soft or crunchy Simple or exotic Everybody loves munching on biscuits but do they know how biscuits began

The history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef Apicius in which a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled and spread out on a plate When it had dried and hardened it was cut up and then fried until crisp then served with honey and pepper

The word Biscuit is derived from the Latin words Bis (meaning twice) and Coctus (meaning cooked or baked) The word Biscotti is also the generic term for cookies in Italian Back then biscuits were unleavened hard and thin wafers which because of their low water content were ideal food to store

As people started to explore the globe biscuits became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods The seafaring age thus witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed in airtight containers to last for months at a time Hard track biscuits (earliest version of the biscotti and present-day crackers) were part of the staple diet of English and American sailors for many centuries In fact the countries which led this seafaring charge such as those in Western Europe are the ones where biscuits are most popular even today Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of Christopher Columbus who discovered America

Making good biscuits is quite an art and history bears testimony to that During the 17th and 18th Centuries in Europe baking was a carefully controlled profession managed through a series of guilds or professional associations To become a baker one had to complete years of apprenticeship - working through the ranks of apprentice journeyman and finally master baker Not only this the amount and quality of biscuits baked were also carefully monitored

History of Biscuits

Page 52Arpits

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Dough Separating Device

Short Dough Biscuits

Short dough biscuits are produced on lines which consist of a sheeter and calibration rollers After producing an endless dough sheet the desired dough blanks are cut by a single roller or double roller system The resulting network of scrap dough is fed back to the sheeter

The blanks are baked in a hybrid oven (directly heated in feed combined with radiation which can be provided with or without convection) on a wire mesh band

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

The English Scotch and Dutch immigrants originally brought the first cookies to the United States and they were called teacakes They were often flavoured with nothing more than the finest butter sometimes with the addition of a few drops of rose water Cookies in America were also called by such names as jumbles plunkets and cry babies

As technology improved during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century the price of sugar and flour dropped Chemical leavening agents such as baking soda became available and a profusion of cookie recipes occurred This led to the development of manufactured cookies

Interestingly as time has passed and despite more varieties becoming available the essential ingredients of biscuits havent changed - like soft wheat flour (which contains less protein than the flour used to bake bread) sugar and fats such as butter and oil Today though they are known by different names the world over people agree on one thing - nothing beats the biscuit

Some interesting facts on the origin of other forms of biscuits

The recipe for oval shaped cookies (that are also known as boudoir biscuits sponge biscuits sponge fingers Naples biscuits and Savoy biscuits) has changed little in 900 years and dates back to the house of Savoy in the 11th century France Peter the Great of Russia seems to have enjoyed an oval-shaped cookie called lady fingers when visiting Louis XV of France

The macaroon - a small round cookie with crisp crust and a soft interior - seems to have originated in an Italian monastery in 1792 during the French Revolution

SPRING-uhr-lee have been traditional Christmas cookies in Austria and Bavaria for centuries They are made from a simple egg flour and sugar dough and are usually rectangular in shape These cookies are made with a leavening agent called ammonium carbonate and baking ammonia

The inspiration for fortune cookies dates back to the 12th

Page 53Arpits

and 13th Centuries when Chinese soldiers slipped rice paper messages into moon cakes to help co-ordinate their defense against Mongolian invaders

Manufacturing ProcessShort Dough biscuits manufacturing is a process involving

three phase of process line Pre Baking Baking Post Baking

The main raw materials are wheat flour sugar vegetable fat Food grade additives etc Dough is prepared using basic required ingredients then the dough is sheeted for continuous sheeter and cuted for required size and shapes After this process shaped biscuits are baked in the oven up to desired temperature and removed through conveyor here oil is sprayed on the biscuit to keep them shiny and more appealing After this process the biscuits are stacked using stacking unit and sent to packing machine for required type of packing

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Page 59Arpits

Dough Separating Device

Short Dough Biscuits

Short dough biscuits are produced on lines which consist of a sheeter and calibration rollers After producing an endless dough sheet the desired dough blanks are cut by a single roller or double roller system The resulting network of scrap dough is fed back to the sheeter

The blanks are baked in a hybrid oven (directly heated in feed combined with radiation which can be provided with or without convection) on a wire mesh band

Dough Mixing

The HSM is used for preparing doughs for the production of dressed molded root-pressed (queen) and wire-cut biscuits hard and semi-hard biscuits as well as crackers

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

PRODUCTION process of Biscuits

Page 72Arpits

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Page 59Arpits

Dough Separating Device

Short Dough Biscuits

Short dough biscuits are produced on lines which consist of a sheeter and calibration rollers After producing an endless dough sheet the desired dough blanks are cut by a single roller or double roller system The resulting network of scrap dough is fed back to the sheeter

The blanks are baked in a hybrid oven (directly heated in feed combined with radiation which can be provided with or without convection) on a wire mesh band

Dough Mixing

The HSM is used for preparing doughs for the production of dressed molded root-pressed (queen) and wire-cut biscuits hard and semi-hard biscuits as well as crackers

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

PRODUCTION process of Biscuits

Page 72Arpits

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Page 59Arpits

Dough Separating Device

Short Dough Biscuits

Short dough biscuits are produced on lines which consist of a sheeter and calibration rollers After producing an endless dough sheet the desired dough blanks are cut by a single roller or double roller system The resulting network of scrap dough is fed back to the sheeter

The blanks are baked in a hybrid oven (directly heated in feed combined with radiation which can be provided with or without convection) on a wire mesh band

Dough Mixing

The HSM is used for preparing doughs for the production of dressed molded root-pressed (queen) and wire-cut biscuits hard and semi-hard biscuits as well as crackers

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Page 59Arpits

Dough Separating Device

Short Dough Biscuits

Short dough biscuits are produced on lines which consist of a sheeter and calibration rollers After producing an endless dough sheet the desired dough blanks are cut by a single roller or double roller system The resulting network of scrap dough is fed back to the sheeter

The blanks are baked in a hybrid oven (directly heated in feed combined with radiation which can be provided with or without convection) on a wire mesh band

Dough Mixing

The HSM is used for preparing doughs for the production of dressed molded root-pressed (queen) and wire-cut biscuits hard and semi-hard biscuits as well as crackers

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Biscuit Productin Line

Biscuit production line consists of following equipments with brief description-

MixersAll ingredients are mixed into mixers to prepare dough with

desired characteristics Normally two stage mixing is done in biscuit production One with rapid slow speed and second stage with rapid speed hence one select a dual speed mixer

Dough Elevator or Dough TipperDough bowl are either taken to tippers where dough is

decanted into mixer bowl which is beneath the tipper at level lower to the tipper or dough bowl is carried to certain height and then tilted to decant the bowl into laminator hopper

Dough LaminatorLaminator main function is to reduce the mass of dough into

uniform sheet or laminate for further reduction in gauge roll Laminators have sets of roller where this dough is acted upon and are converted into dough sheet

Gauge Rolls

These gauge rolls have set of cylindrical rollers which rotate in reverse direction so as to give push to the next gauge rolls Three stand to four stand of gauge rolls are used in normal biscuit production line Speed of rolls is set as per the baking time and increases as we proceed further

Page 57Arpits

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Cooling ConveyorThese conveyors are provided in biscuit production line to

bring down temperature of hot biscuits which comes out from oven Normally they 15 -2 times of oven length

Page 58Arpits

Magnetic StackerStacker are used to distributes and arrange biscuits in a line

and are thus could be stacked easily for packing process These biscuits are made to pass of plates which act as guides which makes these biscuits to fall into space between the guides

Packing TableBiscuit s travels into guidelines on packing table where

either they are fed into into packing machine automatically or are fed into feeding chutes manually by operators

Packing MachineBiscuits are fed into packing machine for packaging there

are various types of biscuit packing such as pile type on the edge and cream sandwich type Horizontal flow wrap machines are mostly used to pack with flexible packaging

Short dough biscuits are produced on lines which consist of a sheeter and calibration rollers After producing an endless dough sheet the desired dough blanks are cut by a single roller or double roller system The resulting network of scrap dough is fed back to the sheeter

The blanks are baked in a hybrid oven (directly heated in feed combined with radiation which can be provided with or without convection) on a wire mesh band

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Moulding or Cutter UnitThese are equipment which cuts the dough sheet into desired

shape and size Plant out put are calculated as per the design of the moulder or cutter These cutters or moulders have dies cups or inserts which are fixed on the cavities or surface of the moulder or cutter

Now days engraved moulders and cutters are available Moulders are now designed in rings instead of single piece which helps in maintenance or changing damaged cupsMolder are used for short dough where as cutters are used for hard dough variety

Scrap return conveyorThese conveyors returns the scrap dough back to mixers

which are again used for production thus minimizing waste

Swivel PannerSwivel panner is installed at the feed end of oven where it

centres the dough piece entrance on baking oven band it has swivel arrangement on which it balances the web or centres the web so that wet dough pieces enter s oven in straight line

Baking Oven Dough pieces then enters oven and travels on wire band for

baking Burners generate heat which is circulated through ducts or pipelines to bake wet dough pieces Length and width of oven are designed as per the capacity required Oven speed is adjusted as per the standards baking time for particular variety

Stripper ConveyorStripper conveyors are provided at the delivery end of oven

so that baked biscuit are cooled and doest not come into contact of any surface when hot A stripper conveyor has wire mesh which carries these hot baked biscuit

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Page 70Arpits

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

4 Caramelisaion of sugar5 Dexterisation

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Page 70Arpits

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

PRODUCTION process of Biscuits

Page 72Arpits

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Page 70Arpits

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Page 88Arpits

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Page 70Arpits

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Page 70Arpits

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Ingredients

The most common ingredients used in baking biscuits are following

FlourYeastFatSugarVitamin CBaking SodaBaking PowderSaltHydrogenated Vegetable OilSkimmed Milk PowderAmmonium Chloride

1 FLOUR - This provides most of the baked item For bread baking the flour should be a wheat flour which is high in gluten (protein) as this is substance that gives bread its fine texture and support the ingredients during rising The word flour refers to the powder obtained from grinding a cereal grain Although other flours (eg Rye flour) are used in baking wheat flour is by far the most common and is the only one that will be discussed here All flours are composed largely from starch and protein but wheat flour is distinctive in that it has very high levels of a class of proteins known collectively as gluten (8-14) When a dough is made from wheat flour and water the gluten develops into a thick cohesive elastic mass When placed in oven it puffs up to many times of its original volume and sets with a light airy texture This characteristic enables gluten to provide the structure in baked goods cakes and bread In the network of gluten the starch granules are embedded rather like a system of bricks in mortar The characteristic and general quality of the flour depend on The wheat variety and conditions under which the wheat has grown This affects the quality and quantity of gluten in the grain

The milling process This determines the degree of separation of the bran and endosperm as well as the particle size of the flour an important factor in cake flour

Page 67Arpits

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

Page 70Arpits

Na CO + CO + H O2 3 2 22NaHCO3

+Na + H O + CO2 2

+NaHCO + H3

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

Additives and special treatments used by the miller to produce flour mixes with special characteristics In New Zealand additives cannot be used in products sold as flour but they are commonly used by millers to make up premixes for particular applications

2 YEAST - Yeast is a plant that feeds on starch and sugars Releasing CO alcohol and sugar The CO bubbles give the dough 2 2

a light airy tecture Yeast is made up of many tiny singe-celled plants which grow bu budding each bud breaking away from the

oparent cell and warmth (Optimum 25-30 C) moisture and food (starch plus a small amount of sugar) Refrigeration slows down the growth so that yeast can be kept for a limited period of time When the yeast is used the conditions and the ls should be kept lukewarm to obtain the best results As soon as the yeast has been added to the dough or batter the yeast begins to feed on starch in the mixture forming sugar alcohol and carbon dioxide The bubbles of CO 2

cause the dough to expand(rise) The dough must be kneaded throughly to distribute the bubbles evenly and then left to rise again usually to about double its original volume If the mixture is left too long acid produced by the oxidation of the alcohol causes the product to taste sour

3FAT - Fat gives a softer texture and helps prevent the CO 2

bubbles from escaping from the mixture too soon Fat has five major roles in baking as outlined below How well it will perform each of these functions depends largely on the slip point - the temperature at which the fat just begins to melt In general the slip

opoint should be at least 5 C above the proving temperature of the dough

The Role of fat are as follows

Shortening

Fat weakens or shortens a dough by weakening its gluten network resulting in the baked product being softer breaking easily and having a more tender mouth feel

Page 68Arpits

Creaming

Fat can trap air during beating and mixing producing a batter that consists of masses of tiny air bubbles trapped within droplets of fat This is very important in cake baking in which it is these air bubbles that expand during baking forming a light airy structure

Layering

In puffy pastry fats which are soft over a wide temperature range are used These can be spread between pastry layers and will separate them during cooking giving a layered pastry

Flavor

Usually the fats used should have a bland flavor to prevent them from changing the flavor of the finished product but occasionally fats are chosen on the basis of their flavor- eg Using butter for particular baked goods and lard for meat pie pastry In addition the fat chosen needs to be able to form an emulsion with other ingredients in the batter or dough

4 SUGAR - Sugar provides a direct food source for the yeast improving its action Sugar is most commonly thought of as a sweetener but in baked goods it is also involved in several other processes Sugar undergoes a series of complex browning reactions

oabove 160 C and the products of these form the brown crust of many baked goods The reactions are known as mallard reactions and are essentially amino acid-catallysed caramelisation reactions in which a sugar aldehyde or ketone is converted to an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

In addition 05-075 of sugar increases the rate of fermentation for fermented goods (ie breads) by giving the yeast more sugar to work on In non-fermented goods such as biscuits large quantities if sugar can be added This improves the keeping quality of the biscuits as well as sweetening them The sugar usually used is pure sucrose as castor sugar 1A sugar or icing sugar Occasionally impure forms such as golden syrup honey and brown sugar are used to give the baking a particular flavor

Page 69Arpits

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

dough Gives smoothness to the bite

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

11 AMMONIUM CHLORIDE - Ammonium chloride provides nitrogen which is used to activate yeast in presence of water and sugar

Page 72Arpits

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

4 Caramelisaion of sugar5 Dexterisation

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

5 VITAMIN C - Also shortens the time needed for dough to mature It has been established from many experiments that the addition of a small amount (up to 100ppm) of vitamin C also shortens the time needed for the dough to mature This is because ascorbic acid catalyzes the gluten cross linking reactions to form a more extensible elastic strong network

6 BAKING SODA- Releases CO according to equation2

Since the material is relatively cheap and stable to store it would seem to be an excellent agent for the production of CO2 The above equation however also illustrates the disadvantages of the material When used on its own only half the available CO2 is released and more seriously the sodium carbonate produced is strongly alkaline and gives the baked product a bitter soapy taste and a yellow color The digestion of such products also tends to be somewhere between embarrassing and traumatic since the Na CO 2 3

reacts with the HCl in the stomach to produce the other half of the available CO For the above reasons it must be stressed that 2

sodium bicarbonate is very rarely used on its own but generally mixed with some acidic material such as cream of tartar honey cocoa or golden syrup (eg Treacle and baking soda are used together in baking gingerbread men) To avoid an imbalance between the acidic and basic materials ie an incorrect pH baking powder is more commonly used However as this also produces a strong base Na CO which has to be neutralized baking powder is 2 3

usually instead

7 BAKING POWDER - Baking powder is baking soda with acid added This neutralizes the base and produces more CO 2

according to the equation

8 SALT - Salt adds flavor and strengthens soft fat and sugar mixtures Salt is added to enhance the flavor of cakes and breads and to toughen up the soft mixture of fat and sugar

9 HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL - (HVO)Main function of HVO is to retain the moisture inside the

10 SKIMMED MILK POWDER - (SMP) Main function of SMP is to give flavor to the product and sweeten the product

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Page 72Arpits

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Page 78Arpits

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

Page 80Arpits

Packaging

function of packaging is protecting biscuit from foreign body infestation increasing shelf life product and manufacturer into and transportation

Technological innovation has made possible to have various shapes sizes and colors for biscuit packaging The important groups of packaging material are as follows-

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

Mixing is a precess were all the ingredients are put together in right proportion for dough formation These ingredients are then fed into mixers where mixing is done and dough is prepared for molding Major ingredients are flour Fat Sugar and others as per the product one would like to have

These ingredients are used in varying proportions to produce different products As well as home baking these include commercial cake mixes and breads The commercial products and commercially produced raw ingredients are monitored in laboratories to ensure consistent quality and the New Zealand Institute For Crop and Food Research in Christchurch provides services for monitoring the composition of all wheat grown in New Zealand and all flours produced at flour mills The delicious smell and the delicious baking are produced as a result of the interaction of various chemical and physical processes that can be adjusted by the cook to create a great variety of products

Mixing can be done by following three types1 One Stage Mixing2 Two Stage Mixing3 Three Stage Mixing

1 One Stage Mixing - This type of mixing is used where all ingredients and water are added once Mixing is allowed till satisfactory dough is prepared Normally this type of mixing is used for hard dough This is also called All in One mixing

2 Two Stage Mixing -

First Stage is creaming In this stage all ingredients are added with water and mixed 4-5 minutes except flour

In second stage flour and chemicals are mixed with creaming product to form a consistent dough

Page 73Arpits

Mixing

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

3 Three Stage Mixing -In first stage fat sugar with other ingredients like milk

chocolate malt honey etc are mixed and cream is prepared with portion of water

In second stage salt chemicals and flavor with color are mixed with water

In third stage flour with water is then added to the prepared cream and mixed till satisfactory dough is prepared

MIXING PROCESS -It has following characteristics which have been monitored

for better results

Mixing Time Normally any mixing could be achieved within 15-25 minutes Much depends on mixing speed of mixer flour characteristics or temperatures required for dough

Dough Temperature Very important factor the temperature o oranges between 35 C - 42 C as per biscuit variety

Dough Consistency This is done manually by checking dough and stretching the dough it should not break neither by bakers by trial and error method

For cracker variety dough are prepared which have additional ingredients like yeast and such dough are kept for 10 - 24 hrs

Page 74Arpits

In forming section the dough is passed through several rollers to form sheet these sheets are than converted into one uniform sheet of desired thickness it is normally 5-6 mm thick

Molders and cutters are used to cut sheet or convert dough into desired shape and size

FORMING PROCESS -

Laminators -Dough after mixing is tipped into laminators hoppers are with some mechanicalpneumatic tilting There are two types of laminators

Horizontal Type Laminators- If space is not the constraint then horizontal type laminators are the best selection as the maintenance and repairs are easily done The lamination and the controls are visible Changing webs and rolls are very easy Pneumatics and servo motors are used in now modern day laminators for automated speed to be synchronized with rest of the plant which is around 11-14 sheets per batch

Vertical Type Laminators- Vertical type laminators have been there for very long its useful if space is a constraint Dough is passed through three stage rollers and after lamination of sheet it is cut into sheets which are then carried to rollers through inclined webs

Gauge Roll Stands- Reduction in sheet is achieved through numerous gauge roll stands Popular are three gauge rolls or four stand gauge rolls Reduction are achieved in stages an not to create too much stress on the sheet web is provided in between for relaxation even an additional web is provided prior to cutter to release stress from dough sheet Best results are achieved through four stand gauge rolls These gauge roll are of different diameter depending upon the plant capacity or requirement the different diameters are 6 8 10 12 amp 14 Speed is set as per the cutter

Page 75Arpits

Forming

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Page 76Arpits

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Page 79Arpits

Cooling

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

RPM Gauge roll speed has to be increased in every stand so as to maintain the flow of sheets

Dough Sheet Conditioning- Dough sheet conditioning is done as per the ambient conditions in the plant

Steam Spray To moist the web surfaceBlower To dry the dough surface

Flour Dusting- To dry the wet surface of the dough This process is mainly for cutting variety

Toppings- Toppings are done through mechanical vibratory or spray a hopper is placed above the plant line after the cutter The toppings could be milk salt sugar or cashew pista bits

Rotary Cutter- Rotary cutters consists of cups which are attached to the cutter shell This shell is then fixed to the shaft and drive mechanism Two types of rollers are popular One is complete on mold shell where cups are attached in the cavity designed for with dowel pins Second concept is also very popular when shell has several rings fitted over it This helps in easy removal of damaged part and is also very helpful in taking various trials Cutter is coupled with the rubber of shore hardness of approx 80-85 Rubber roller or the pressure roller helps in releasing wet biscuits

RPM- Rotary cutter speed is set as per plant requirement baking time and variety of biscuit

Band Coverage Efficiency- It is ratio of total surface area of cutter-modulerno biscuit cups

Molding Roller- It is applied for short dough The dough is prepared in lumps these are then fed to die roll through either reciprocating conveyor to the hopper or a rotary conveyor which allows these dough crumbs to spread uniformly on the die roller surface These Die roller have dies engraved into it Dough pieces are then released by feed roller which pushes the dough into the dies

Wet dough pieces of desired weight and shape are then passed on to oven band through swivel panner web Ovens are of different types classified into following categories

A Type of HeatingB Type of FuelC Type of DesignD Width of Oven BandE Number of Zones

Heat is transferred to biscuit on band through all the three ways of heat transfer ie conduction convection radiation Following are the chemical and physical changes which occurs in oven When dough piece is passed on to oven

Physical Changes

1 Formation of crust2 Melting of fat3 Gas expansion in dough piece due to CO2

4 Water converted into steam

Escape of gases and steam would result in collapse of biscuit structure hence these are passed onto different zones with gradual increase or decrease of temperature Zones are classified as

1 Heating Zone2 Baking Zone3 Coloring Zone

Chemical Changes

1 Gas formation2 Starch gelatization3 Protein changes

Cooling process is as important than any other process When biscuits comes out from oven the temperature of biscuits are

oaround 70-95 C these biscuits can be cooled by letting it travel for distance of 15 times of baking time So if you have a oven of 200ft then the conveyor length would be approx 350ft In some places forced cooling is also done due to space constrain or for special features Cooling brings temperature to room temperature for handling of biscuits for packing

Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuos stacks this is either manual or with the help of auto feeders with help of feeding chutes Biscuits are fed into packing machines in continuous stacks this is achieved through stacker which converts free flowing biscuits into uniform stacks These are done through guidelines which could be adjusted as per type of biscuits

Major functionsadvantages of packaging are

Protect from mechanical damage in transit loading and unloading Protect from loss of moisture and any foreign odor contaminations Protect from foreign body infestation Legal compliance for values and ingredients for consumers Advertisement

Biscuits are wrapped with packing machines and wrappers are sealed as long and ends These are sealed with help of heaters Coders are synchronized with machine speed to print details to the packing material Packs could be of various size and shape Popular are pillow pack and family pack with weight ranging from 25gms to 400gms These packs are then put into cartons are been taped by passing through carton taping machines Now biscuits are ready for dispatch

Various type of packing material is used in biscuit industry

Primary packaging LaminateWrapper wax paper and Bopp films These are tailored made for various packs where the cut off length and width are decided prior to packing material production Basic properties for laminates and corrugated boxes are Bursting strength GSM and thickness of films measured in microns values varies from one product to other

Selections have to be done on above parameter Primary

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

While pursuing my training with Britannia Industries Ltd I came to know across various factors affecting the production system of a company running at a huge scale and after observing all the facts and figures I finally came to one huge question

How do they manage it all round the clock 24x7

And the answer to this question is very simple and well known It all depends on coordination and team work

Let me start from the very first day of my experiencewith the brand as a trainee I met with the HR Manager MrMayank Shreevastav he taught me a lot of things about thecompany itself and also about the corporate world to which I was unaware till that time his valuable suggestions and piece of knowledge also helped me a lot in completing my project work He showed me the way to his companys Production Manager Mr Anil Anand who was also my external guide for the period of my study and training he showed me all the departments and machines related to the production system in a step by step and well planned manner and it all took days as he also showed me the process at every stage for ex Laboratory tests of the raw material cleaning the machines preparing the mixers cutters and molders preparing the die for printing on the package as I was new to the organization I was not allowed there to wander on my own so I have to go where ever he took me or his presence was necessary at the point of time which helped me to know about the break downs

Page 81Arpits

Findings

Page 89

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

Page 90Arpits

Right man for the right job- This policy is very helpful at every workplace to get the best from the human resource as if a person is assigned to a job to which he is very handy and better than other the efficiency of the individual as well as organization increases

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

Limitations As we all know that noone and nothing is perfect so is the Britannia Industries Ltd even this huge

Page 91Arpits

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me

and other problems faced in producing biscuits and also the method of resolving the problem which is impossibleto know through books or in lectures Well through my period of study I saw a lot of things to which Ill explain now

Quality Assurance- Now after being present at thecompanys production place as a trainee I can freely say that at Britannia the quality is at the highest priority starting from the very beginning when the raw material reaches its destination from various parts of the country as well as globe its first of all tested for the quality assurance and it is only than allowed to get into the production process when it is passed in the laboratory and if it fails the tests and very strictly followed guidelines of quality the whole consignment is rejected and is returned back to the supplier and a new and fresh consignment is ordered

Skilled and experienced employees- All te employeesworking at the Britannia are highly skilled and experienced not only with respect to their respective work assigned to them but they are also very handy with the other related tasks and works required

Clean and healthy Environment- Its not just about the raw material and the employees which makes the product good one of the very important factor related to quality production is environment at the work place the work place at Britannia is above average and the environment there is very friendly all the employees work as a team which results not in just good quality product but the rate of error becomes very low and the rate of use of resource is increased

State of the Art Technology- The manufacturing unit isequipped with the latest available technology and the bestavailable machines are used to produce the best qualitybiscuits latest available computer software is used to put acheck on machines and the production quality which doesnt just help in producing good quality products but also reduces the per unit economic cost and the wastage of precious resources is low which helps to increase the efficiency of the organization as a whole

Team Work- Above all is the team work all the employees at Britannia works as a team and the result is in front of us a well known brand with a variety of products available for the customer and with the major market share in every segment where the products of the brand is available and the trust on the brand proves it all in a way or the other we all use Britannia may it start with the breakfast at morning at our home or the tea time in the noon at officecolleges we all uses it in a way or the which proves that the team work of the employees works in the best manner it can not only at the production line but also at the distribution and marketing hand which makes it possible for the product to reach to the end customer or consumer no matter what the situation is

giant of FMCG sector have limitations and is not flawless the total production process has some minute problems here and there all the time some time the manual and some time technical but it doesnt states that the organization is not working properly as I felt that the pungent smell goes directly to brain and is some times reduced by masks but the masks provided by the organization are not able to provide a complete cover to the smell which needs an attention the waste under process material is not able to use again ie it cannot be recycled as once all the ingredients are mixed they cannot be separated after preparation of the dough for this reason the organization has set a strict ratio of only 3 wastage but it still needs to be reviewed as the temperature of ovens is very high and

0is up to 100 C so the temperature of workplace around the ovens also increases and the employees working there needs a proper ventilationcooling system right over their head which is provided to them but doesnt seems proper to me
