Nutrient Composition/Sensory Evaluation Of Juice Made From Garcinia Kola (Bitter Kola) Fruit Pulp
ABSTRACT
This study was designed to determine the
nutrient composition and sensory evaluation of fruit juice made from Garcinia
kola Heckel (Bitter Kola )fruit pulp. The juice was extracted from the fruit
pulp, blended homogenously, sieved and chemically analysed using standard assay
methods. . The sensory evaluation of the juice and the control (commercial
orange juice way brand) was conducted using 20 trained panelists. The juice was
high in vitamin C (162.30mg), beta-carotene (8.45mg) and moisture content
(94.19%).The juice had low values for ash (0.55%) and crude fiber (0.03%). The
values for minerals in the juice were Mg (0.02mg), Ca (0.27mg), Fe (3.67mg) Zn
(1 .62mg), Cu (1.22mg) and I (0.24mg). The sensory evaluation result showed
that there was a significant difference in colour, flavour, sourness and
general acceptability of the developed fruit juices. There was no significant
difference in the taste of the juices, however the treated juice was preferred.
The Garcinia Kola fruit pulp proved to be a good potential material for juice
production.
