The study was examined the fresh, cabinet dehydrated and sun-dried cauliflower samples were analyzed for proximate as well as mineral analysis. Proximate analysis was cauliflower samples contained 90.62% moisture, 4.42% carbohydrate, 1.98% protein, 0.23% fat, 2.03% dietary fiber and 0.62% ash. Cabinet dehydration and sun drying substantially decreased moisture content to 9.99% and 13.27, respectively. Proportions of others components were increased, which include carbohydrate (42.44% and 38.37% for cabinet and sun drying, respectively, protein(19.06% and 18.37%), fats (2.24% and 2.16%),dietary fiber (18.59% and 18.80%) and ash (5.98% and 5.76%).In terms of mineral composition, fresh cauliflower samples were rich in phosphorus (61.35 mg/100 g), calcium (41.16 mg /100 g) and potassium (1.68 mg/100 g). These findings suggest that cauliflower is good source of dietary fiber, phosphorus and calcium. Both cabinet dehydration and sun drying are effective in preserving the chemical composition of cauliflower and preventing deterioration by reducing moisture.

The present study aimed at the formulation of pickled product, incorporated with and without mustard oil; vinegar and salt were used as preservative. The products have been evaluated for sensory attribute i.e color, flavor, texture, taste and overall acceptability, (MOVS) formulated pickle found to be excellent and have higher score 5.7, 6.5, and 7.0 for color, flavor, and overall acceptability. It was found that the polysaccharide content and pH were decreased during processing, and significant difference (P>0.05) was found in moisture content Figure 4. The microbiological studies revealed that total viable counts (bacteria) were high in (SWVS) formulated pickle as compared to (MOVS) respectively. Storage studies demonstrated that pickles stored successfully for 90 days at ambient temperature (26±4C) without any significant change in the quality attributes of the (MOVS) pickle. Furthermore, microbiological analysis demonstrated the presence of Escherischia coli and Lactobacillus bacteria in pickled products.
