Evaluation of Guava Products Quality
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fresh ripened Guavas were procured from entrepreneur’s field and were weighed, sorted, washed, lye peeled before crushing and sieving to get guava pulp for preparation of different products such as RTS, Nectar and guava bar. Physico-chemical properties (Total Soluble Solids (TSS) Acidity, Ascorbic acid Content (AAC), Thermal properties, Particle Size analysis) and microbial properties (bacteria, yeast and mould) were studied for the products prepared. Thermal properties such as Thermal Conductivity (w/mk); Thermal diffusivity (mm/s), Specific Heat Capacity (J/mk) and Thermal Resistivity (mk/w) ranged between 0.319-0.640, 0.076-0.086, 4.170-7.459 and 1.562-3.136 respectively. Particle size of guava products varied from 301to 1033 μm. Ascorbic acid content decreased with the decrease in TSS during product preparation. Microbial examination revealed that the product is safe to consume.

متن کاملAdsorption Performance of Low-cost Java Plum Leaves and Guava Fruits as Natural Adsorbents for Removal of Free Fatty Acids from Coconut Oil
This study assesses the adsorption performance of Java plum leaves and guava fruits based adsorbents as natural products widely available in Aceh, Indonesia. These renewable adsorbents were employed to remove free fatty acids (FFAs) that cause the rancid odor in coconut oil. The adsorption tests were carried out at three different doses (50, 75, 100 g) and seven agitating periods (1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
