It is clearly seen that the sample dried at 60 recorded higher ratings on colour, flavour,taste and overall acceptability as compared to the samples dried at 65 and 70 .
The various treatments adopted had not significantly effect on flavour,taste and overall acceptability but significant effect on the colour .
However, the fresh sample also received the higher rating in all the attributes.
However, the flavor and taste of the reconstituted sample at 65,70 received a lower rating.
This could be due to the loss of volatiles during the drying process.
Similar trend was reported by..... for foam-mat dried pineapple powder juice and....... for foam-mat dried reconstituted banana paste.
