ABSTRACT
Studies undertaken to prepare arils-in-syrup product and its quality evaluation during storage are reported here. Out of seven combinations of arils and syrup the product with 50 per cent arils and 50 per cent syrup of 70° Brix was adjudged to be the best on the basis of its sensory characteristics. It could safely be stored for a period of six months under refrigerated storage conditions without much changes in various quality characteristics. However, acidity decreased from 0.82 to 0.66 %, pH increased from 3.50 to 3.66%, TSS increased from 37.50 to 44.30° Brix, total sugars increased from 31.88 to 37.66%, ascorbic acid decreased from 9.23 to 5.13 mg/100g, and antioxidant activity decreased from 63.23 to 49.06 % during storage. Both the packaging materials viz., PET and glass jars were found suitable, with comparatively less changes occurring in glass jar.
