Quality and Shelf Life of Ganesh Pomegranate Arils as Affected by Different Packaging Material and Storage Conditions
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Different packaging material was used for packaging pomegranate arils and was evaluated for shelf life and quality parameters at different storage temperatures. Arils packed in PPMM (P3) recorded with high anthocyanin content (24.03 mg 100g-1) and β-carotene content (18.26 μg 100g-1) and high organoleptic score for colour (6.17), taste (6.00), flavour (6.25) and overall acceptability (6.08) with less microbial count (2.33 ×108CFU/ml) was observed. With respect to storage temperatures, arils stored at 1°C (S1) recorded with high anthocyanin content (24.56 mg 100g-1) and β-carotene content (21.91 μg 100g-1) and high organoleptic score for colour (7.44), taste (7.89), flavour (7.22) and overall acceptability (6.78) with lowest microbial count (1.44 ×108CFU/ml). The interaction effect of packing material and storage temperatures, revealed that high anthocyanin content (25.05 mg 100g-1) and β-carotene content (23.23 μg 100g-1) and the highest organoleptic score for aril colour (8.00), taste (8.33), flavour (7.33) and overall acceptability (7.33) with lowest microbial count (1.00 ×108CFU/ml) were recorded in the PPMM + 1°C (P3S1).
