Abstract:
An investigation on “Effect of different pulp content and TSS concentration on physico-chemical composition of the beetroot syrup” was carried out during the year 2018-19 at Post Harvest Technology Laboratory, Section of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola with the objectives to study the effect of different pulp content and TSS concentrations on storage behaviour of beetroot syrup. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Completely Randomize with twelve treatment combinations with three replications. The beetroot syrup was filled in 200 ml pre – sterilized glass bottles and stored at ambient storage condition and analysed upto 120 days. From the finding it was observed that, TSS, total sugars, reducing sugars, pH and acidity was increasing trend whereas non – reducing sugars and TSS/acidity ratio in decreasing trend. Syrup prepared with 30% pulp and 70⁰ B total soluble solids was found to be the best treatment combination.
