Experiment code 21.5.3.42
Experiment Title Development and storage study of mixed variety mango RTS.
Research Type -
Experiment Background Mango fruit is an excellent source of Vitamin-A. Both mango and mango products are popular in India and are also in demand in many foreign countries. Amprapali is known for its bright saffron colour, Totapuri is known for its specific gritty texture, Rajapuri and Deshi mango are good in sourness due to its acidity at unripe stage. The Kesar has its specific characteristics of flavor and mainly use for fruits products development. By blending these specific characteristics, a standard RTS may be prepared without addition of artificial color and flavor. It will not only increase the usefulness of these mango but also gear up to RTS sector. An experiment is planned to prepared mixed variety mango RTS with following objective.
