New technology for production of Serbian raspberry brandy

BELGRADE - The Innovation Center of the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy in Belgrade and the Fruit Research Institute in Cacak have developed a new technological process for the production of raspberry brandy, which will make it possible for raw materials to be used through the whole year.

The process will allow producers to use frozen raspberry with preservation of its sensory qualities, smell and taste, another advantage being that it will be possible to produce brandy out of several times smaller amounts of fruits.

Classic process requires 16 kilograms of raspberry to produce one liter of 40-percentile brandy, while the new technological process requires only 1.2 kilograms of the fruit. The brandy will cost EUR 10-15, it was said at the promotion of raspberry brandy at the Serbian Chamber of Commerce.

The project's expert team stated that talks with a serious Serbian producer on the purchase of this technology or possible joint production are already underway.

Radosav Cerovic from the Innovation Center said the project implemented with the support of the Ministry of Science and Technological Development is worth RSD 4.6 million.
