Proximate Analysis, Apple Ber, Physico-chemical propertiesAbstract
This study emphasis on the physico-chemical properties of a new ber variety (Apple ber) originated in Thailand and slowly emerging in many parts of the world. The analysis is done under two different conditions the one being controlled and second one is blanched. The analysis revealed that the controlled condition is superior in physico-chemical properties than the blanched one. Also, proximate analysis was carried out on the fruit and its powdered form. In this analysis also controlled condition parameters were ahead of blanched. New products were developed with the Apple ber powder.
