Shamia –dry variety-date pulp (45 ºBrix) was used to prepare eight different treatments of date sheets. Citric acid, Na-metabisulfite, cloves and cinnamon were homogenized with date pulp and spread on aluminum trays, and then dried at 60 ºC for 24 h. The sheets were rolled in a polyethylene bags till analyze for physical, chemical, and sensory properties as well as rheological properties of control sheet either before drying or after rehydration. Moisture content of the sheets ranged from 14.49 to 17.22%. Adding citric acid, Na-metabisulfite alone or as a mixture significantly decreased the color index and hydroxyl methyl furfural content, while increased the lightness value of the resultant sheets. Reducing sugars significantly increased by adding citric acid, while fiber content slightly decreased. There were some variations between the rheological properties of the date pulp before and after dehydration. While, date sheets containing citric acid or a mixture of citric acid with Na-metabisulfite had the highest organoleptic scores the sheets containing cloves and cinnamon had the lowest scores.

Fruits and vegetables are important constituents of the diet and provide significant quantities of nutrients, especially vitamins, sugars, minerals and fiber. The fruit and cladodes of prickly pear provide interesting sources of functional compounds, such as fiber, hydrocolloids, pigments, minerals, and vitamins with antioxidant properties, such as vitamin C. Ananas comosus (pineapple) is a tropical plant with edible multiple fruit consisting of coalesced berries, also called pineapples, and the most economically significant plant in the Bromeliaceous family. The squash was developed with the optimization of the concentrations of prickly pear (5-25 %) and pineapple (0-25 %) juice. The developed fruit squash was subjected for evaluation of physico-chemical markers. Results showed significant differences (p<0.05) among the treatments for all the chemical components of the squash blends analyzed except for titrable acidity, TSS and SO2 which did not show significant differences between the treatments on total soluble solids (TSS) in the range of 45 - 460 brix, pH 3.8 to 4.1, titrable acidity (% citric acid) 1.45 to 1.49, total sugars 35.3 to 37%, reducing sugars 15.2 to 16.8%, ascorbic acid 6.5 to 10.5 mg/100g and SO2 348 to 350 ppm were observed in different juice blended squash treatments. The highest TSS (46oBrix), total sugars (37%), reducing sugars (16.8%) was observed in T3 prickly pear and pineapple juice blended ratio (15:10). The high acidity (1.48%) and ascorbic acid (10.9 mg/100g) were witnessed in T5 prickly pear : pineapple (5:20%) fruit juice blended squash; whereas high SO2 content was seen in pure prickly pear squash (T1) and lowest pH (3.8) was seen with the squash blended prickly pear: pineapple (15:10%) fruit juices i.e T3. The study concludes that, prickly pear and pineapple facilitates in the development of functional fruit squash with minor changes in physico-chemical markers and superior sensory attributes.
— Yoghurt is a coagulated milk product that results from the fermentation of lactose in milk by Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermphillus. The health benefits can be increased by adding native fruit pulps. Yoghurt with different fruit pulp includes papaya and cactus pear was prepared and stored up to 10 days. The fruit were added at the rate of 5%, 10% and 15%w/w. Physicochemical properties of yoghurt samples include moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrate and ash were determined at first days of storage. Acidity, pH, syneresis, water holding capacity (WHC), total count, coliform group, yeast &mould and organoleptic properties were evaluated yoghurts at zero time, after 5 and 10 days of storage at refrigerator.There were significantly differences between plain yoghurt and fruit yogurt in the pH, moisture, ash, protein, carbohydrate content and titratable acidity amounts 5 day of storage. The results showed that acidity increased over the storage period. Highest values for WHC and lowest values for syneresis were belonged to yogurt with 15 % cactus pear and 10 days storage with 71.21% and 16.01%, respectively. Sensory evaluation results showed that there were significant differences among the yoghurt samples. The yoghurt containing papaya pulp had the highest overall acceptability scores as compare to other fruit yogurt samples and also plain yogurt. The results of current study demonstrated that the addition of fruits to the yogurt significantly improved the quality of yogurt.

Vegetables whose roots and tubers are consume are best source of calories, natural vitamins and minerals. In green leafy vegetables like spinach (Spinacia oleracea), amaranthus (Amaranthus viridis), bathua (Chenopodium album), mint (Mentha spicata) etc. along with carrot are rich source for Beta carotene which is an important antioxidant. Beta carotene is the most important precursor of Vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential for the normal growth. Deficiency of Vitamin A decrease levels in the blood and low level in serum.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the best pre-treatment based on physical properties, ascorbic acid and β-carotene content of frozen sweet corn kernels of the Hibrimas variety. Five types of pre-treatments being studied: water blanching, steam blanching, 0.5% citric acid blanching, 2.0% sodium chloride blanching and 1.0% sodium metabisulfite blanching. It was discovered that sodium metabisulfite blanching can improve texture of frozen corn kernels while citric acid blanching play vital role in colour and total soluble solids retention. pH value is more stable after subjected to steam pretreatment. Chemical pre-treatments were outweighing physical pre-treatments in ascorbic acid retention. There were no significant effects showed by pre-treatments on storage weight loss and β-carotene content. Citric acid pre-treatment was suggested to be the best pre-treatment due to its high colour and total soluble content.
A study was conducted to examine the effect of Sodium Metabisulphite as synthetic preservative and ethanolic extracts of spices namely Clove (Syzigiumaromaticum), Cinnamon (Cinnamomumzevlanicum) and Black pepper (Piper nigrum) collected by Soxhlet and Rotary evaporator apparatus, respectively, were tested as natural preservative in orange juice (Citrus reticulata). The nutritive parameters such as total sugars, phosphorous content vitamin C and physiochemical changes like titratable acidity, pH, non-enzymatic browning (NEB), percent weight loss (PWL) and microbial count were evaluated at fix time intervals of 5 days for 30 days. This juice samples were stored at + 40C. It has been observed that clove and cinnamon extracts have better preservatives effect in comparison with black pepper extract.

Physicochemical and Nutritional Characteristics of Solar and Sun-dried Tomato PowderTomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most important vegetable plants in the world used in cooking foods. In Ghana, at peak seasons of harvesting tomato, high postharvest loses are incurred because of the absence of industrial tomato processing facilities for value addition into other convenient forms to extend shelf-life. Solar drying is a more efficient and low cost method of enhancing the quality and adding value to tomato. This study was carried out to design a natural mixed mode solar dryer suitable for drying tomato and to investigate the quality characteristics of the dried products. Fresh tomatoes were pre-treated with: a) 1% potassium metabisulfite solution; b) 1 % ascorbic acid solution; and c) used untreated as control. Pre-treated tomatoes were dried for three days on the average till there was no significant change in the final moisture content. Open-sun drying was used as a control for comparison purposes. The final moisture content for pre-treated solar dried an...
