2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESSES
a) Reception of Raw Material:
1. Reception of raw materials and
supplies
The person in charge of reception inspects the
list of suppliers and the sanitary conditions of
the truck and integrity of the packaging of the
broad bean product packaging, performs the
physical and organoleptic analysis: degree of
impurity, weight, humidity (must be 12%
humidity, If not, it is taken to the drying area
until the desired parameter is achieved). The
drying of the raw material is carried out
naturally by the suppliers, always taking the
necessary measures to guarantee the good
condition and safety of the grain.
b) Heavy:
It is carried out on a 300kg electronic scale.
According to the amount destined for daily
flour production.
c) Selection: the selection is done manually on
a 2m x 1.m stainless steel table, in which
impurities (stones, wood, soil, etc.) and
spoiled, immature grains, etc. are separated.
d) Washing and disinfection:
In a container, the bean grains are washed
manually with pure, clean water, creating
strong friction between the grains to eliminate
contaminating agents adhered to the surface
such as dust, exuded latex and
microorganisms. Special care will be taken,
since the grain must be very clean for the
disinfection operation to fulfill its purpose. In a
container containing 10 L of water, add 2 mL
of bleach. It is necessary to highlight that the
beans must remain submerged for 2-4
minutes, so that the bleach can fulfill its
function. The water with bleach should not
have any contact with the pulp, so as not to
influence the flavor. After this the grains are
placed in a colander and then moved to the
drying area.
e) Bare:
This process is carried out manually in order
not to spoil the pulp f) Drying: This process is
carried out naturally in a place isolated from
animals, with a solar tent to ensure its safety and
quality. Drying reaches 8% grain moisture, which
is verified by the Gehaka grain moisture detector.
Once this parameter is reached, the product is
packaged in new polyethylene bags and stored on
stretchers, until its grinding is scheduled.
g) Grinding: grinding is carried out in a stainless
steel concentric disc mill and then passes
through a 34-hammer mill to achieve the
required granulometry.
h) Sieving: this process is carried out manually
with a sieve mesh of 30 and 60 microns, the
particles that have not yet achieved the
corresponding micron are taken back to the
hammer mill to achieve the micron. The
sifted product is stored in a container ready
for packaging according to the required
presentation.
i) Packaging and sealing, packaging: The
packaging is made of metallized BOPP
material (others according to health
registration) and is selected according to the
production order. Hermetic sealing is carried
out in a continuous horizontal sealer, whose
temperature is according to the sealing
speed and is graduated between 110 to
155°C, which guarantees the safety of the
product.
On labeling, the mandatory information on
the packaging labeling must be
complemented with the following data:
batch number, expiration date. The batch
number is alphanumeric formed by the
initials of the company and the production
date, the expiration date will be 11 months
after the product has been produced.
j) Store
The finished product warehouse is used
exclusively to store food, it will be in an
appropriate, dry, clean and ventilated
environment, on stretchers to protect the
sanitary quality and safety of the same and
avoid risks of cross contamination. The
residence time of the product is given to
market demand and is proportional to
production capacity.
In addition, the temperature and relative
humidity of the warehouse is monitored, for
which a hygrometer will be used; It is
recommended not to exceed 30 ºC - 80%
temperature and relative humidity
respectively, if extremes occur, the air
extractor will be activated.
