The study aimed to determine the effect of different concentrations of sodium benzoate at ambient storage condition on kokum rind juice. For this experiment, Factorial Completely Randomized Design (F.C.R.D.) was used. During the investigation, the chemical parameter, microbial analysis and sensory qualities of kokum rind juice were studied. During the 3 months of ambient storage condition, analysis was conducted at the interval of one month. The chemical parameter like acidity, TSS, reducing sugar, total sugar, anthocyanins and microbial analysis, sensory qualities changed significantly. From the experiment it can be concluded that the kokum rind juice could be stored at 1500 ppm sodium benzoate concentration in a good acceptable condition at ambient storage condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
