Abstract:
The experiment was carried out to “Physico-chemical Assessment of Underutilized Tendu (Diospyros melanoxylon Roxb.) Fruit Jam” during the year 2022 in the Horticultural Processing Laboratory, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Agricultural University, Raipur (C.G.). All the samples were packed in pre-sterilized glass jars and were analysed for various physico-chemical parameters (total sugar, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar, acidity, ascorbic acid, pH and TSS) during 6 months of storage under refrigerated conditions. The treatments were T₁ (100% Tendu pulp), T₂ (75% Tendu pulp), T₃ (50% Tendu pulp), T₄ (25% Tendu pulp + 75% Apple pulp), and T₅ (50% Tendu pulp + 50% Apple pulp). The results revealed that there was an increase in total sugar content, reducing sugars, acidity, TSS while, a decreasing trend was recorded in non-reducing sugars, ascorbic acid and pH during storage period of six months after manufacturing.
