Abstract:
The study was conducted for the development of refreshing, thirst quenching & energizing ready to serve beverage in which honey can be added in fresh carrot juice that improve the health as well as fulfils the nutritional requirements. The formulation was prepared by combination of different proportions of carrot juice and honey in the ratio of (100:0), (90:10), (80:20) and (70:30) represented by T0, T1, T2 and T3 respectively. The products were subjected to standard physico-chemical, sensory and microbial analysis and accordingly, there was less variation in Overall acceptability scores so all compositions of RTS were acceptable. T0 was found to be the most preferred variant. The storage stability studies showed that the physico-chemical and sensory quality of the RTS blends were acceptable up to 90 days of storage. Microbial analysis of the RTS during storage period up to 90 days revealed that it was free from any spoilage.
