Abstract
The present investigation entitled "Evaluation of mango (Mangifera indica L.) varieties for nectar product processing" was conducted at the Post Graduate and Post Harvest Technology Laboratory of N .M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during the month of July to Dec., 2009. An experiment was conducted with five varieties of mango viz., Neelphonso , Sonpari, Ratna, Sindhu and Alphonso in C.R.D . with four repetitions. The nutritional value viz., TSS (per cent), total sugar (per cent), reducing sugar (per cent), non-reducing sugar (per cent), acidity (per cent) and ascorbic acid (mg/l 00 g) and organoleptic evaluation with respect to colour, flavour, taste, texture and overall acceptability were carried out periodically during 0, 3 and 6 months of storage. In respect of TSS , total sugar, reducing sugar and acidity were found higher in nectar of Ratna as well as Sindhu variety , which was found increased during 6 months of storage.While non-reducing sugar and ascorbic acid content was found higher • 10 nectar of Neelphonso, Sonpari and Alphonso varieties, which was found decreased during 6 months of storage. While the TSS, total sugar, reducing sugars and acidity content was found at lower level in nectar of Neelphonso variety . However, non-reducing sugar and ascorbic acid content was found lower level in nectar of Ratna variety. Looking to the organoleptic evaluation of al1 varieties in respect of colour, flavour, taste, texture and overal1 acceptability, nectar of Neelphonso as wel1 as Alphonso was found best. While lower acceptability was found in nectar of Ratna variety. From the nutritional point of view, Ratna and Sindhu were found superior only in respect to TSS, total , , , , , ~ sugars, reducing sugar and acidity. In respect of non-reducing sugar and ascorbic acid content nectar of Neelphonso was found best than rest of the varieties. However , considering • organoleptic evaluation, nectar of Neelphonso was found excellent. Hence Neelphonso variety under cultivation and is recommended in Gujarat for nectar processing in addition to alphonso variety.
