| Title | Membrane purification of Palm Sap (Neera) |
| Knowhow is available for | A process for enhancement of shelf life of palm sap by using polymeric membranes to remove microbes and impurities |
| Summary | Polymeric membranes are used to purify/clarify palm sap (Neera). -The resulting palm sap is visibly better, without turbidity, is free of bacteria and yeast (that cause fermentation) -Can be achieved without loss of nutrients, and without any use of chemical additives/bio-preservatives. -The purified palm sap has a shelf life of up to 6 months |
| Advantages | -Natural drink- from a widely available source -It has been shown conclusively that Neera is a nutritive and a body coolant -Nutritive: contains protein, natural sugars, iron, phosphorus, calcium, ascorbic acid, riboflavin and thiamine -Cheap, affordable drink that could be made available throughout the year, and around the country (in its purified form) -No refrigeration needed for packaged/purified Neera |
