ABSTRACT
Carrot root tuber were processed into juice and treated with
citric acid or sodium metabisulphite and combination of the two preservatives
at different concentration of 0.01 ppm 0.01 5ppm 0.02ppm and 0.025ppm per litre
and then pasteurized at 90°C for 10 mins. The juice were packaged and stored.
The pasteurized and unpasteurized juices were subjected to chemical and
microbial analysis before and during storage. The result showed that p11
decreased with storage and ranged horn 6.2() -- 4. 18. sugar level decreased
(7.39 4.064).the vitamin C content was highest in the unpasteurized sample at
23.9mg/100g and decreased with storage ( from 23.93 9.24mg/100g). The microbial
load decreased with preservatives hut increased with storage time. Though the
level cfu/ml is still within the safe level.
