DEVELOPMENT OF SYRUP FROM BOX MYRTLE (Myrica nagi) AND ITS QUALITY EVALUATION DURING STORAGE
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 8
Abstract
Box myrtle (Myrica nagi) belongs to family Myricaceae is a sub-temperate tree found throughout the mid-Himalayas at an elevation of 1,300 to 2,100 meters above mean sea level. Its fruits are known for their ravishing taste and have been reported as rich source of anti-oxidants like phenols and anthocyanins. Therefore, investigations were conducted to develop commercial syrup and its quality evaluation during storage. Different combinations of juice and sugar syrup were tried to standardize proper combination for syrup. The syrup prepared by following the best selected recipe [35 % juice and 65 oB TSS (Total Soluble Solids)] was packed in glass and PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) bottles and stored for six months under ambient and refrigerated temperature conditions. Syrup could be safely stored for a period of six months under both the storage conditions without much change in various quality characteristics. However, the changes in the quality characteristics of the syrup were slower in refrigerated storage conditions as compared to ambient conditions. Both the packaging materials viz. PET and glass bottles were found suitable, with comparatively less changes occurring in glass bottles stored under refrigerated conditions.
