Effect of storage conditions and benzoic acid concentrations on quality and shelf life of aonla juice Cv. NA-10

Abstract

The present study was conducted to Study the Effect of Storage Conditions and Benzoic Acid Concentrations on Quality and Shelf Life of Aonla Juice Cv. NA-10 under Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli, Maharashtra with 4 concentrations of benzoic acid (0, 200, 400, 600 ppm) and 2 storage conditions (ambient and cold storage). Among different benzoic acid concentrations tried, treatment T4 (600 ppm) and in case of storage conditions, cold storage (S2) was found to be good. Hence, for better storage of aonla juice upto 6 months, interaction T4S2 (600 ppm benzoic acid and cold storage) was found to be good.
