Abstract:
The investigation was undertaken at the Horticulture Processing Laboratory Department of Fruit Science, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Agricultural University, Raipur (C.G.) during the year 2019-2020 and at Horticultural Laboratory, RMD CARS, Ambikapur (C.G.) during the year 2020-2021. The experiment consisted of ten treatments and three replications under completely randomized design. Among various recipe tried in this investigation, the nectar prepared from the treatment T8 (20% pulp + 18% TSS + 0.4% acidity) recorded highest organoleptic score with respect to colour and appearance, aroma, taste and overall acceptability as compared to other recipes during storage. During storage of nectar the acidity, TSS, total and reducing sugar showed an increasing trend with increasing period of storage while there was a decreasing trend of ascorbic acid, pH, non-reducing sugar and organoleptic score during storage period up to 90 days under ambient condition.
