Abstract:
The current experiment was carried out during Dec 2020 to April 2021 in Post-Harvest Laboratory of Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in Completely Randomized Design (CRD), with ten treatments and three replications. The treatments were T₁ (100% Kinnow pulp), T₂(10% Aonla+90% Kinnow pulp), T₃ (20% Aonla Pulp + 80% KinnowPulp), T₄(30% Aonla Pulp + 70% Kinnow Pulp), T₅(40% Aonla Pulp + 60% Kinnow Pulp), T₆(50% Aonla Pulp+50% Kinnow pulp), T₇ (100% Aonla Pulp), T₈ (90% Aonla Pulp+10%Kinnow Pulp), T₉(80%Aonla Pulp+20% Kinnow Pulp), T₁₀ (70% Aonla Pulp+30% Kinnow Pulp).From the present research investigation it is observed that the T₆ treatment (50% Aonla pulp+ 50% Kinnow pulp) was found Best in respect of the conservative parameters Total Soluble Solids(Brix), Acidity (%), pH, Ascorbic acid (mg/100g) & Reducing Sugar (%). In terms of organoleptic properties like Colour and Appearance, Flavour and Taste, Texture and Overall AcceptabilityT₆ was found best. In terms of cost benefit ratio the highest net return, Cost Benefit Ratio was found highest in T₆ (50% Aonla pulp + 50% Kinnow pulp).Hence, T₆ was found superior basedon above Observative parameters.
