Abstract:
The current investigatory work entitled "study about biochemical changes (pH, ascorbic acid and Total sugar %) of dragon fruit nectar 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 nectar 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 nectar. The nectar comprise of 20 percent pulp and 0.3 percent acidity and recipe is varied by different concentration of TSS. The nectar prepared from treatment T₇ containing 20 percent pulp, 0.3 percent acidity and 22 percent TSS shows highest value of ascorbic acid, TSS, total sugar, while The pH value of Nectar was peak for treatment T₄ comprising of 20% pulp, 0.3% acidity, 19% TSS.
