Curry leaf (Murraya Koenigii) is
used as a leafy spice in Indian cuisine for its characteristic flavour and
is reported to have a lot of medicinal
values. It is one of the prime ingre dients in masala and pickle indus tries in raw/dried or powdered form.
These products have large demand
in both domestic and international
markets. The primary requirement
to obtain the curry leaves is to strip
the leaflets from the stem. At pres ent this operation is being carried
out manually in unhygienic condi tions. To reduce the drudgery of
the human labour and to increase
the output capacity, a power oper ated curry leaf stripper has been
developed to strip out the leaflets
from the branch. The equipment
comprises four major components
viz., power source, pulling mecha nism, stripping mechanism and
collecting tray. With this device, an
operator can safely strip 36-44 kg of
curry leaflets per hour. The saving
in labour and cost over conventional
method is to the tune of 80 percent
and 60 percent, respectively. An In dian patent no 1146/MUM/2008 has
been assigned for the equipment
and the equipment has been com mercialized
