ABSTRACT
This study
evaluated the Antioxidant Properties and Sensory Evaluation of Fruit Drink
Produced from the Tropical Almond Fruit (Terminalia Catappa) for Household
Consumption. The following were the objectives of the study: to determine if
drink can be produced from be determine the acceptability of alomond fruit
juice. The research questions are in line with the objectives of the study
raised. Sensory evaluation from were shared to 10 panelist who were randomly
selected comprising 5 undergraduate and 5 staff. Data were analyzed using
descriptive statistics of mean. The antioxidant composition, vitamin, total
phenol content flavonoid content and carotene content of the almond juice were
determined using standard methods. The sensory evaluation of the drink was
conducted using 9- point hedonic scale. The research showed that drink can be
produced from the tropical almond fruit. The total antioxidant content was
49.51 %. The almond juice also contained anthocyanin 17.61mg /IO0g: vitamins
48.61 mg/l00g flavonoids 32.85mg /1 00g and phenol 54. 75mg/1 00g respectively.
The taste of the products varied from Sample A 5.96 and Sample B 8.26The Almond
juice with sugar syrup was more acceptable compared to the Almond juice without
syrup. The research recommends that it should be incorporated into the diets
for the vulnerable groups to improve their nutritional status.
