| Abstract: | The peach, plum and apricot fruits were
harvested at optimum stage of maturity and characterized for physical and
chemical parameters and dehydrated in mechanical dehydrator at 60+2°C until 10-12% moisture. The fruit powder was prepared by further
drying the fruit halves up to 3-4% moisture at 70+2°C and then grinding. Different proportions of fruit powder were
mixed with the other ingredients for the manufacture of chutney mix and
ready-to-serve drink mix. Pickle was prepared by reconstituting the halves and
mixing the other powdered ingredients like spices, salt and jaggery. All the
products were packed in laminated pouches and stored at ambient temperature
(13-28°C) for 6 month. On the basis of sensory
data the products viz., powder, ready-to-serve drink mix and chutney mix
prepared from apricot were rated as the best products followed by plum and
peach fruits while dried pickle from the plum halves was rated excellent
followed by apricot and peach. All physico-chemical and sensory parameters of
different products exhibited changes during storage of these products. There
was increase in moisture, reducing sugars, non-enzymatic browning and decrease
in total sugars, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid and sulphur dioxide however,
changes were minimum and products remained acceptable during storage period of
6 months.
