ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to prepare
juice from African star apple (Chrysophyllum albidum). Physicochemical
composition and microbial composition of the juice were analysed. The sensory
properties of the juice samples were also determined using the juice prepared
from fresh samples as control. The samples had physicochemical composition
ranging from 12.47-24.51mg/mi vitamin C, 1O.13-1O.89mg/ml vitamin A, 2.81-3.59
pH, O.50-2.Olmg/ml TTA and 31.11- 48.27mg/mi TSS. The results obtained from the
microbial analysis showed that a juice with minimal bacteria spoilage can be
produced with values ranging from 1.OxlO'-2.8x101CFU/ml. The fungal spoilage
ranged from 1.0x102-9x102CFU/ml. The results of the sensory evaluation based on
the nine points Hedonic scale, showed that the juice samples had 4.58-6.92
aroma, 5.75-7.13 appearance, 3.33-7.29 taste, 4.17-7.17 mouth feel, 3.96-6.67
after taste and 3.42-7.21 overall acceptability. The juice sample 769
(unbianched nwannu) was found to be the most acceptable to the panelists.
