    Moringa leaves are nutritionally rich as it contain higher amount of protein, vitamin C and other micronutrients. The moringa leaves based value added product diversification can play important role in the increased consumption and utilization of the leaves. These diversified value added products from moringa leaves could help not only to alleviate malnutrition problems but also help to address micronutrient deficiency in Indian population. Ready-to-serve beverage, instant leaves powder and mixed jam are the value added convenience products identified for incorporation of moringa leaves for nutritional enrichment. Moringa leaves based RTS was developed with the blend of moringa leaves: Aonla: Aloe vera. The formulation of blend containing 60% Aonla+Aloe vera (70: 30) and 40% MLJ has highest overall acceptability score. The different formulations of moringa leaves, aonla and aloe vera blends were stored for six months and physicochemical attributes were studied during the storage period. TSS, acidity, total sugar and reducing sugar was found to be increased during the storage period, while pH, protein, ascorbic acid, non-reducing sugar and total phenol content observed to be decreased as the storage period progressed. Among the formulation of blended beverage, T3 (60% Aonla+Aloe vera and 40% MLJ) was found to be stable and also had good organoleptic score at the end of storage period. Effect of drying conditions on the physico-chemical properties of moringa leaf powder was also investigated. The samples with and without blanching pre-treatment were dried at different temperature (40°C, 50°C, 60°C). Moringa leaf powder prepared with pre-treatment 0.1% sodium bicarbonate and oven drying at 50°C for 3 hours was found to be best on the basis of nutritional qualities which contain 28.76% protein, total phenol 206.26 mg/100g and ascorbic acid 80.65 mg/100g. Mixed Jam was standardized with moringa leaf powder, wood apple and karonda fruit pulp. The formulation of blend containing 5% moringa leaf powder and 90% wood apple + karonda (40:60) has highest overall acceptability score. The different formulation of blended mixed jam was analyzed for their physico-chemical properties.

    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda Uttar Pradesh, 2020-11-09) Gangwar, Shubham; Mishra, Vigya
    The present study entitled "Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Fruit Nectar from Kinnow (Citrus reticulata Blanco)” was conducted during 2019-20 at the Department of Post Harvest Technology, College of Horticulture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda. At present a variety of drinks are available in the global market and are quite popular among the consumers. These drinks contain mostly table sugar or high fructose syrup as a sweetening agent. Such sweeteners possess high glycemic index and increase the risk of obesity diabetes and many other problems. Besides, there are many herbs like sweet basil and purslane which possess high nutraceutical value but are still underutilized for processing purpose. Therefore, The present study was conducted with an aim to develop a low calorie, kinnow based herbal fruit nectar enriched with sweet basil and purslane leaf extract and to seek the possibility of using stevia and coconut sugar as a substitute of table sugar in the beverages. Kinnow: Purslane: Sweet Basil blend prepared in the proportion of 91:9:10 was adjudged the best based on sensory acceptability and was further used for preparation of Herbal fruit nectar. Stevia leaf powder and coconut sugar and their combinations with table sugar were used for sweetening of nectars. And their effect on sensory and nutritional properties of developed nectars was observed. A positive increase in free radical scavenging activity (FRSA), total soluble protein and vitamin A content of nectars was recorded with increasing proportion of coconut sugar. Herbal fruit nectar containing 50% coconut sugar + 50% table sugar (HFN) was found the best based on sensory as well as nutritional properties. A gradual and significant increase in the TSS, sugars content, electrical conductivity and free radical scarvenging activity of the nectars was recoded after 180 days of storage at ambient temperature. A significantly decrease in ascorbic acid, total phenolics and total soluble protein of nectar was recoded during storage. It was founded that storage under ambient condition for 90 days did not show any significant effect on quality of nectars. The cost of product of the nectar was calculated as Rs 32.78/200 mL. Development of herbal fruit nectar from kinnow, purslane and sweet basil could be an effective approach to utilize the functional properties of theses crops. Further, using coconut sugar as substitute with low glycemic index of table sugar in drinks could be helpful in adding a category of healthy and low calorie drinks in the global market.

    The present study was carried out to investigate effect of Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) and Aloe vera gel edible coating incorporated with Lemongrass oil for extending shelf life of pomegranate arils. CMC was used at 0.25%, 0.50% and 0.75% concentrations and incorporated with LGEO at levels of 400 ppm and 800 ppm. While aloe vera gel was used at concentration of 25%, 50% and 75% and incorporated with LGEO at levels of 400 ppm and 800 ppm. The coated arils were stored in PP trays at 40C & 95% RH. Observation were recorded for physico-chemical and sensory quality of stored arils on 4 days of interval during the 28 days storage period for CMC+LGEO coated arils, while 20 days of storage period for Aloe vera gel+LGEO coated arils. A gradual increase in PLW (%) of arils was observed as the storage period progressed for all the treatments however, both CMC and Aloe vera gel coating treatments reduced weight loss. Total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, vitamin C and anthocyanin contents significantly varied over the storage period. Compared to uncoated arils all the coating treatments resulted in extending shelf life while maintaining optimum quality. Sensory analysis scores for taste, aroma, texture and juiciness were higher in arils treated with CMC+ LGEO than aloe vera gel+LGEO treated arils. Among different edible coatings studied in the experiment the CMC+LGEO was judged best for maintain quality and extending the shelf life of arils of pomegranate compared to Aloe Vera gel+ LGEO.
