Abstract:
The most important aspect of this study is clarification and increasing the shelf stability of mixed carrot-beetroot juice with moringa seed powder (MSP).To clarify and to increase shelf life of juice, moringa seed powder added with different proportions (0.5 g,1 g,1.5 g) in 100 ml mixed carrot-beetroot juice. After addition of MSP in juice, it kept to clarification for 1 hour. The juice was subjected to turbidity test, anti nutritional factors and microbial analysis. The juice clarified with 0.5g of MSP is more accepted. Based on the results, MSP could be highly recommended as natural clarifying agent and has antimicrobial efficiency. The juice with 0.5g is showing better results compared to 1 g and 1.5 g.
