EXAMPLE - 1 The process entails selection of one hundred kg of mature custard apple fruits of specific gravity ~ 1, after ripening at 25 - 28°C, is subjected to separation of pulp from peel by scooping. Seeds from pulp is separated, after passing through a pulper. After mixing pulp with ascorbic acid @ 0.1% (w/w), the pulp is packed in 150 - 300 guage polyethylene (30 x 20 cm) bags, in 1 kg amounts, sealed. The packed pulp is immediately subjected to blast freezing to obtain pulp in uniform frozen state, at -20°C. The blast frozen pulp is immediately transferred for storage at -20 to -30°C. Throughout the process operations, for all washing purpose, potable water is used. EXAMPLE-2 Pulp obtained from custard apple fruits procured from tropical and sub-tropical belts was used for frozen storage. Pulp from fruits of tropical climate were more sweet and flavored than sub-tropical lot. Both the lots, however, responded similarly to the storage life and storage quality, the operations detailed in experimental section. EXAMPLE - 3
Pulp was subjected to blast freezing in 200, 500 and 1000 g quantities, before storing at - 20 to -30°C. All the categories retained similar storage quality at the end of 12 months. EXAMPLE-4 The process entails extraction of pulp from mature ripe fruits by scooping and the seeds are separated using a pulper. The pulp (50%), is supplemented with milk powder (7%), sugar candy (7%) and maltodextrin (5%), tricalcium phosphate (1%) and honey (2%), on the basis of pulp weight. The supplemented pulp is diluted with water to final total soluble solids of 38°Brix, and passed through fine sieve. The entire feed material is then subjected to spray drying with an inlet temperature of 130°C that results in an outlet temperature of 100°C. The flow rate maintained at 70 ml per minute. The powder is collected and packed in airtight containers or sealed in unit laminated aluminum foil pouches. EXAMPLE - 5 Pulp obtained from the mature ripe custard apple fruits was subjected to the preparation of spray dried powder.
