Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Agriculture University, Palampur

Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya (renamed as Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya in June, 2001) was established on 1st November, 1978.The College of Agriculture (established in May, 1966) formed the nucleus of the new farm University. It is ICAR accredited and ISO 9001:2015 certified institution. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research has ranked this University at eleventh place among all farm universities of the country. The University has been given the mandate for making provision for imparting education in agriculture and other allied branches of learning, furthering the advancement of learning and prosecution of research and undertaking extension of such sciences, especially to the rural people of Himachal Pradesh. Over the years, this University has contributed significantly in transforming the farm scenario of Himachal Pradesh. It has developed human resources, varieties and technologies and transferred these to farming community enabling the State to receive the “Krishikarman award” of Govt. of India four times in row for food grain production among small states of the country. Today, the State has earned its name for hill agricultural diversification and the farming community has imposed its faith in the University.

    DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF TREMBAL (FICUS ROXBURGHII) BASED VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2018-12) Sharma, Meghna; Gupta, Radhna
    In the present investigation, an underutilised fruit of Himachal Pradesh i.e trembal (Ficus roxburghii) was selected to assess the physico-chemical and nutritional composition of trembal and to develop and evaluate the quality of trembal based value added products. Results revealed that mature, ripened trembal was purplish red in colour and the core was filled with red jelly that was sweet in taste as compared to unripened mature fruit. It weighed heavier (35.07gm) had more juice content (84.19%), total soluble solids (8.10 ̊B) and a higher total anthocyanins (16.48mg/100g). Regarding proximate composition as well as mineral composition, there was not much difference in the analysed parameters between the trembals of two maturity stages Three value added products of trembal viz. pickle (using vinegar and galgal juice as acidic medium), preserve (by slow process and fast process) and dried trembal (sun dried and osmotically dried ) were prepared. The selected fruits were taken whole or in halves and were unblanched and blanched. So, a total of four treaments per product i.e. T1 (unblanched and whole), T2 (unblanched and halves), T3 (blanched and whole) and T4 (blanched and halves) were prepared and evaluated for chemical and nutritional composition as well as for their organoleptic quality at different storage intervals i.e. 0, 60, 90 and 120 days. Storage had an inverse relationship with the analysed parameters. pH, TOTAL SOLUBLE SOLIDS and ascorbic acid decreased with storage period in all the prepared value-added products. Pickle prepared using galgal juice as acidic medium was more acceptable than pickle prepared using vinegar. Preserve prepared by slow method scored maximum points for its acceptance and therefore was preferred over preserve prepared by fast method. Osmotically dried trembal was more liked over sun-dried trembal. Among different treatments prepared, T4 (blanched halves) had better chemical composition and scored highest for its acceptability for all the value added products viz. pickle, preserve and dried trembal.
