Abstract

Indian preserves from fruits like apple, quince and amla are held in great esteem on account of their reputed nutritive and therapeutic values. Recently, Bhatia and Siddappa' have reported the mineral and vitamin composition of some typical Indian preserves. On account of the high ascorbic acid and tannin contents of the fruit, a study of the changes undergone by these constituents during processing of the fruit by the conventional and the modified methods is of considerable importance. In this paper, data regarding the effect of preliminary treatments and the processes employed in making the preserves on the ascorbic and tannin contents of the fruit are presented.
