Production of jam from crushed fruit in two stages. in a process producing jam (c1), crushed fruit containing 14 wt % soluble solids is mixed in a mixer with sugar (1.22 kg sugar/1.00 kg crushed fruit) and pectin (0.0025 kg pectin/1.00 kggensymb crushed fruit). the resultant mixture is then evaporated in a kettle to produce a jam containing 67 wt% soluble solids. for a feed of 1000 kg crushed fruit, calculate the kg mixture from the mixer, kg water evaporated, and kg jam produced

The total kg from the mixer:

Evaporated water:

Jam produced:

Explanation:

Step by step:

1) Kg of mixture from the mixer

It says that crushed fruit is added to the mixer with the sugar and pectin.

The fruit added is 1000 kg

The sugar added is 1.22 kg sugar/1 kg crushed fruit:

The pectin added is 0.0025 kg pectin/1 kg crushed fruit:

The total kg from the mixer:

2) Evaporated water

To calculate the evaporated water it's important to have in mind that the mix goes from a concentration of 14 wt% to 67 wt%. This difference is because of the evaporated water. So:

Initial: 1000 kg of fruit with 14 wt% of solids

This amount of solids is constant

Final: The mass of solids is the same but now it represents the 67 wt%

and

3) Jam produced
