The control samples was prepared which had no preservative. The juice after treatment was pasteurized. The pasteurized drinks were analyzed for pH, specific gravity (S.G) total soluble solid (TSS) and titratable acidity. Vitamin A and Vitamin C, potassium and calcium contents of the juices were investigated. The juice was stored for few days under ambient condition, after which the control samples showed the highest decrease in pH and highest in TI A. Also the treated juice with ginger extract showed lower bacterial count compared with the untreated juice.
