titratable acidity was significantly
higher (P < 0.01) in the nuggets with juice and extract on the day of
processing (Table 3) and this could be attributed to their initial
lower pH and higher titratable acidity (Table 1). Nuggets with 4%
juice had 0.120 units higher and those with 6% extract had 0.085
units higher titratable acidity compared to the control on the day
of processing. All the samples showed a reduction in titratable
acidity on day 7, while it increased on day 14, but further
decreased from day 21 onwards. The decrease in titratable acidity
of nuggets on day 7 could be attributed to their increased pH
