Abstract:

For commercial exploitation of underutilized wood apple fruit (�??Feronia Limonia�?�), a production technology for wood apple fruit juice was developed in College of Food Processing Technology and Bio-energy, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) India. The effect of steaming treatment and enzyme added juice extraction as pretreatments and different juice extraction techniques on juice yield and total soluble solids of wood apple (�??Feronia Limonia�?�) juice were studied. Pretreatments i.e. steaming for 2, 4, 6 and 8 minutes and enzymatic treatment (pectinase enzyme) at different concentration (10, 20 and 30 mg/100g), different incubation time (2, 4 and 6 hrs.) and incubation temperature 40oC as well as combined treatments (steaming and enzyme) followed by three juice extraction techniques i.e. basket centrifuge, screw type juice extractor and fruit pulper at different rpm was studied for juice extraction from wood apple (Feronia limonia) fruit pulp and evaluated for juice recovery (%) and total soluble solid (TSS) content of juice. Combined pretreatment (steaming and enzyme) i.e. 6 min of steaming, 30 mg/100g enzymatic concentration, 6 hrs of incubation time at 40oC incubation temperature obtained maximum juice recovery (82.36 %) and TSS content (5.3oBx) from wood apple pulp. The screw type juice extractor obtained highest juice recovery (85.62 %) and TSS (5.6 °Bx) at 150 rpm followed by Basket centrifuge and fruit pulper. The data was statistically analyzed by using completely randomized design (CRD).
