Quality Evaluation Of Food Drink Produced From Tigernus (Cyperus Esculentus) And Pineapples (Ananas Comosus) During Refrigeration Storage
ABSTRACT
Pineapple (Ananas
comosis) juice (PP) and Tiger' 'nut (Cyperus esculentus) milk (TN) were blended
to a fruit drink. 100% pineapple was used as the control. The juice blend was
stored • for 72 hours at refrigerated temperature. The sensory analysis was carried
out immediately after production. The physiochemical and microbial examination
were carried out at 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours interval. Changes in pH, Total
soluble solids, Total solids, Specific gravity and acidity were observed. The
acidity increased (0.013-0.037) and pH of the drink decreased progressively
during the storage period from 4.05-3.43. The mean overall acceptability scores
of 2 to 4-points for juice samples up to 40% Tigernut milk incorporated
indicated the commercial scope for manufacturing good and nutritious pineapple
juice blended with tigemut milk, which will also be helpful in providing some
dietry requirements to the consumers. Storage in refrigerator for 72 hours was
able to keep the microbial quality of the fruit drink within the acceptable
limit from 1.00x103-4.00x103CfuJml for the Total viable count and 6.00x
1025.00x 103Cfu!ml for the Total flingal count. There was no significant count
up to 24 hours of storage. No Coliform was detected throughout the storage
time. The juice blend is recommended for children, youth and elderly persons to
be used up to 72 hours of production if refrigerated.
