respectively. Thenafter sugar and citric acid was added to juice properly and then mixture was filtered through muslin cloth. Three batches of juice mixture were prepared. The product was filled in PET bottles which was sterilized at 1100C for 10 minutes, then sealed .After that bottles were pasteurized at 900C
for 25sec cooled and stored at refrigerated temperaturet 5 10C
for 21 days.
Total acidity (as % citric acid) and vitamin C were determined by titrimetric method (Ranganna 1986). TSS were determine directly with a refractometer ATAGO (0-500 Brix). Values for pH were measured by pH meter (AOAC 1985). Beta carotene was determined by the method given be All estimations were carried out in triplicate at 7 days interval and the mean values reported. A panel of 10 semi-trained members carried out
the overall acceptance test for the juice 9-point Hedonic scale, where 9 is “like extremely” and 1 is “dislike extremely” as described byAmerine et al,1965.. The stastical analyses were
carried out by Two- way ANOVA classification as described by
Snedecor and Cochran 1968.
