Microbial Fermentation of Blended Jackfruit Juice For Quality Improvement of Jackfruit Wine
Microbial Fermentation of Blended Jackfruit Juice For Quality Improvement of Jackfruit Wine
ABSTRACT
Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam) is one of the important underutilized fruit which is known for its therapeutic
and nutritive values and available plenty during season. The experiment on microbial fermentation jackfruit juice
blending with different juices viz., pineapple (20 and 25 %), amla (10 and 15 %) and aloevera (5 and 10 %) by yeast
strain Saccharomyces cereviceae MTCC 170 was carried out for quality improvement of jack fruit wine. The results
revealed that the jackfruit juice blending with amla juice (10 and 15 %) significantly influenced reduction of pH (3.16)
and TSS (6.25), highest titrable acidity (0.52), vitamin C (193.3 mg), alcohol (12 %) and overall acceptability (16.33/
20.0) compared to pine apple and aloevera blending. Jackfruit juice blending with 15 per cent amla juice improved the
nutritional and sensory quality of jackfruit wine.
