Studies On The Physico-Chemical And Sensory Properties Of Juices Produced From Noni (Morinda Citrifolia) And Pineapple (Ananas Comosus) Blends
ABSTRACT
Fresh Noni juice and Pineapple juice were
extracted, processed and blended at different proportions to formulate new
products of Noni juice-Pineapple Juice (NPJ). The samples were blended at
varying proportions: 100:0 (Noni juice: pineapple juice) (control), 90:10 (Noni
juice: pineapple juice), 80:20 (Noni juice: pieapp1e juice), 70:30 (Noni juice:
pineapple juice) and 60:40 (Noni juice: pineapple juice) without addition of
spices and chemical preservatives. The samples were evaluated for their
chemical, vitamin and mineral compositions, physicochemical properties and
organoleptic attributes. Moisture was the main component of the juices (80.61
to 86.23%). The juices had adequate amounts of minerals and vitamins including
vitamin C which ranged from 75.09 to 83.33mg/100g. The pH of the juices ranged
from 4.13 to 5.60, total titratable acidity ranged from 0.96 to 1.96% while
specific gravity ranged from 1.091 to 1.160. In terms of sensory attributes,
60:40 (Noni juice: pineapple juice) received the highest scores and was most
preferred to other juices It was concluded that blending Noni juice with
Pineapple juice resulted to juice with reduced nutrient composition. However,
the juices would meet the Recommended Daily Intakes of vitamins and minerals
analyzed in this study.
