Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out to prepare pre-biotic carambola-guava blended nectar with objective to optimize suitable blend proportion and fibre concentration using twenty treatment combinations comprised of five levels of carambola and guava blend [20% Carambola (B₁), 15% Carambola + 05% Guava (B₂), 10% Carambola + 10% Guava (B₃), 05% Carambola + 15% Guava (B₄) and 20% Guava (B₅)] and four levels of fibre concentrations [0.0% (F₁), 0.2% (F₂), 0.4% (F₃) and 0.6% (F₄)]. The results of present investigation indicated that pre-biotic carambola-guava nectar prepared by using 15 per cent guava pulp with 5 per cent carambola and 0.20 per cent fibre (B₄F₂) remained shelf stable on the basis sensory quality up to three months storage in glass bottle.
