Experiment code 19.4.3.18/19.7.3.1
Experiment Title Standardization of process technology for the preparation of Aloe vera and Aonla blended juice
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Aloe vera gel / juices help to improve general immune system, help in prevention of arthritis, diabetes, cancer, maintain stomach acids, constipation, heart burns, regenerate tissues, increase absorption of nutrients and even neutralize toxic elements. Apart from various medicinal uses, Aloe vera juice has various cosmetic benefits including anti-microbial properties. The Aloe vera gel is being used for the preparation of juice. The Aloe vera juice presently available in the market is un-sweetened and tasteless resulting un-acceptance among the consumers. Due to presence of very low acid level, it is also very difficult to preserve the Aloe vera juice for long time. Aonla is one of the minor fruit crops of commercial significance. It is used in Ayurvedic and Unani systems of Indian medicines. It possesses antibacterial, anticarcinogenic, antiemetic, antioxidative, antipyretic, antitumour, antiviral and expectorant activities (Mitra and Pathak, 2008). However, hindrance occurs in its consumption due to highly acidic as well as astringent taste. Therefore, the experiment was conducted to prepare a blended Aloe vera and aonla juice to enhance the sensory properties and its acceptability. So, the research experiment was carried out with the following objectives.
