The effect of sodium benzoate (SB) and potassium metabisulphite (PMS) at various
concentrations on chemical, microbiological and sensory quality of mango pulp during storage was
assessed. Inhibitory activity of the chemical preservatives and their effect on chemical and sensory
attributes was tested periodically by simulating the industrial mango pulp storage in the lab (30-42ºC
in the dark), for a period of 90 days. Protein, fats, decreased while ash content and total soluble solid
(TSS) increased during the storage period. A slight progressive decline in pH was observed with a
proportional increase (p
