Abstract
Physiconutritional qualities of fruits viz. apple, lime, pome- granate, Perlette grape, and Pusa Navrang grape were analyzed and compared with those of Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis Gaertn.). Indian gooseberry juice contained the highest vitamin C (478.56 mg/100 ml). Hence, when gooseberry juice was blended with other fruits’ juice for the preparation of ready-to-serve (RTS) beverages, it boosted their nutritional quality in terms of vitamin C content. On the basis of overall sensory quality and vitamin C content, RTS beverage prepared by blending gooseberry and Pusa Navrang grape juice in 20:80 ratio was found to be the best.
