PURE INSTANT GRANULATED COFFEE

This product resembles roast & ground coffee in appearance and uses the best of the coffee beans, carefully chosen for this purpose. This product is a brown granulated Instant Coffee produced from a blend of Arabica & Robusta coffee beans. Cosmopolitan uses the traditional method of agglomerating that maintains the rich freshness of coffee. The essential feature of this process is that in a plane of falling powder stream, a jet of steam is allowed to mix with powder to make it immediately wet. This step causes coffee particles to come in contact one another providing the opportunity for collision. Thus, the falling powder is agglomerated into what is commonly known as granulated coffee – or in coffee lovers’ lingo – a stimulating cuppa coffee.

To get the perfect of Rice:

  • Good quality is used with the right moisture content (14%) and high purity.
  • Mixing of different varieties of paddy is avoided as these result in degraded quality of rice.
  • Rice mills are kept clean and well maintained. They judiciously operated by our highly skilled operators.
  • Best commercial milling system are executed to reduce mechanical stress and heat buildup in the grain, thereby minimizing grain breakage and producing uniformly polished grain, free of impurities, colour and off-type kernels such as chalky or damaged kernels.
  • In our modern rice mills, many adjustment (e.g. rubber roll clearance, separator bed inclination, feed rates ) are automated for maximum efficiency and ease of operation.
  • Best grader ere use to grade the milled rice to remove the broken and sorting them into well defined fraction of deferent length. Optical inspection is the final quality control and enhancement step in the rice mill.
  • To achieve a uniform and consistent quality packed white rice the various white rice fraction are blended according to the market requirement and trade standards .

The byproducts generated at the different stages of rice milling like rice hulls or husk, rice bran, and brewer’s rice are also product we deal in.

Basmati Rice

The world’s most relished Basmati rice is cultivated in the foothills of Himalayas. Soil and climate of the region account for the unique aroma, taste and texture of basmati rice. The word ‘Basmati’ comes from the Hindi language, meaning ‘Queen of Fragrance’. Basmati has a fine aromatic flavor with long and slender grains. Its perfumed, nutlike flavor and aroma can be attributed to the fact that the grain is aged, to decrease its moisture content. When cooked, it swells only lengthwise, thereby resulting in long slender grains that are dry, separate and fluffy.

Today, wheat is a grass that grows between two and four feet (½ to 1 ¼ meters) tall. The physical appearance of the grain is familiar to most consumers, with a long stalk that terminates in a tightly formed cluster of plump kernels enclosed by a beard of bristly spikes. Wheat is an annual, which means that at the end of each year, fields must be plowed and prepared again to grow the grass.

In international market these are popularly known as “Guar Meal” and are sold worldwide. Guar Meals have contents of “Oil & Albuminoids” (O & A) which are about 50% in germ whereas it is about 25% in husks.

Guar Meal is a by-product after processing the Guar Seed. The extracted guar meal is further processed by toasting at a high temperature to remove Trypsin Inhibitor, thus enhancing its nutritive value. Guar Meal typically comes in 2 forms: (a) Commonly known as Guar Meal Churi, which is in powder form and (b) Guar Meal Korma in granular form. Guar Meal Korma is widely used as replacement to soya meal. Cosmopolitan is a regular exporter of both the types of guar meal.
