Abstract:
The current investigatory work entitled "study about biochemical changes (pH, ascorbic acid and total sugar %) of dragon fruit RTS during storage" was executed at Pomology Laboratory, Department of Pomology, Pt K.L.S. CHRS, Pendri, Rajnandgaon, IGKV, Raipur, Chhattisgarh during year 2019-2020. The analysis of chemical variation of RTS of dragon fruit at fortnight meantime for course of 45 days preservation by implementing CRD with 3 replication inside lab condition. Each replication comprised of 7 treatments for RTS. The RTS prepared from treatment T7 containing 10 percent pulp, 0.3 percent acidity and 15 percent TSS shows highest value of ascorbic acid and total sugar, while the pH value of RTS was peak for treatment T5 comprising of 10% pulp, 0.3% acidity, 13% TSS.
