Production And Evaluation Of Fruit Juice From Malay Rose-Apple (Syzygium Matlaccense) And Water Melon (Citrullu Lanatus).

ABSTRACT

 Fruit juice were produced from malay rosc apple (Syzygluin malaccense) blend with watermelon (Citrullus lanatus). The juice were analysed for physiochernical, pI-o:imatc composition, vitamins, minerals and sensory properties. Results showed that there were significant differences (P<0.05) in the proximate composition, vitamins and mineral content of the juice. The water melon juice sample had vitamin A of 478.621U and vitamin C of 35.78mg/lOOg while malay rose apple had vitamin A of 129.431U and vitamin C of 45.76mg/lOOg. The blended fruit juice had vitamin A of 218.631U and vitamin C of 4O.25m7100g. The water melon juice sample had the highest value of vitamin A foF owed by blended fruit juice while malay rose apple is the least. Result of the mineral compesition showed that there were significant differences (P><0.05) among the juice samples witL water melon having 8.53mg/i 00g calcium, 15.8mg/i Oog magnesium, 0.63mg/i 00g iron and 17.82mg/lOOg phosphorus. Malay rose apple had 25.71mg/bOg phosphorus. 25.71 mg/l0og calcium, 28.67mg! lOOg magnesium, 0.95mg/i 00g iron and 26.77mg/lOOg phosphorus. The result of the sensory evaluation showed that 100:0 water melon was the best while malay rose apple was the least. ><0.05) in the proximate composition, vitamins and mineral content of the juice.
