Abstract

Badami mango, used in the preparation of strained mango pulp and drum-dried custard powder, is a rich source of ßcarotene. Canning of mango pulp results in considerable changes in the absorption characteristics of the carotenoid pigments. Subsequent storage of the canned product causes similar changes. Partial neutralization of the acidity in the mango pulp and the heating involved in the cooking and drum-drying of the mango custard blend do not, however, have any such effect. The reflectance data and the over-all visible color of the pulp as well as of the custard powder do not alter much during storage.
