Study of blending of papaya and banana for nectar preparation and storage study of nectar

摘要

The experimental material consisted of well ripened papaya cv. Taiwan and banana cv. Dwarf Cavendish. Eleven pulp ratios of papaya and banana (100 : 0, 90 : 10, 80 : 20, 70 : 30, 60 : 40, 50 : 50, 40 : 60, 30 : 70, 20 : 80, 10 : 90 and 0 : 100) were studied to select acceptable pulp ratio for blended nectar preparation. The pulp ratios of papaya and banana 100 : 0 and 50 : 50 were found acceptable. The nectar (100 : 0) was stored only up to 30 days under ambient condition. Whereas blended nectar (50
