STORAGE STUDIES ON CASHEW JUICE PRESERVED WITH WATER EXTRACTED AFRAMOMUM DANIELLI.

- Abstract
Storage study was carried out to investigate the effects of water extracted Aframomum danielli on cashew juice. Hot (100°C) and cold (5°C) extractions were made in order to establish a more potent extract and how long they will adequately preserve the juices without adversely affecting the quality parameters. The cold-water extraction showed a better shelf live elongation than the hot water extract. Neither of them was able to inhibit fermentative yeast beyond two weeks . A. danielli aliquots at concentrations of 6, 8 and 10% closely competed with the standard (sodium metabisulphite), but the aroma of juice was drowned at 8 and 10% concentrations. At this same concentrations, sugar content of juice was noticeably reduced, vitamin C was relatively stable, pH stabilized for one week, but not effective on colour stability except at higher concentrations or with pretreatment like blanching which ultimately will give a poor product quality.
