Enhancement and evaluation of biochemical properties of mango nectar with different concentration of guava and Aloe vera pulp

Abstract

A lab experiment was conducted at Post harvest and Value Addition Laboratory, Mewar University Gangrar, Chittorgarh (Rajasthan) during February to May to evaluation of biochemical properties of guava syrup. The result revealed that the highest TSS was at (16.92 0Brix), ascorbic acid (3.90 mg/100 g), titratable acidity (0.34%) and total sugar (17.52%) after 60 days was recorded with T₉ (Arka Uday 70% + Amrapali 20% + Guava 5% + Aloe vera 5%). From the present investigation, it can be concluded that treatment T₉ (Arka Uday 70% + Amrapali 20% + Guava 5% + Aloe vera 5%) was the most suitable formulation for mango nectar in terms of biochemical stability. The combination of guava and Aloe vera significantly improved vitamin C content, TSS, pH. Hence, this treatment T₉ (Arka Uday 70% + Amrapali 20% + Guava 5% + Aloe vera 5%) is recommended for better quality of blended mango nectar.
