abstract = {Cashew apples are being wasted across various parts of the
cashew growing countries due to high perishability and short shelf life. The
present study aims to preserve and improve shelf life of cashew apple juice
using different combinations and concentrations of chemical preservatives. The
efficiency of chemical preservatives was tested by analyzing sensory, physicochemical
and microbiological qualities of the juice periodically. The results reveal
that combination of sodium benzoate and sodium metabisulphite at 0.1 g L-1
each, sodium benzoate and citric acid at 0.1 g L-1 each and sodium
metabisulphite and potassium metabisulphite at 0.05 g L-1 each, prolonged
shelf life of cashew apple juice upto 20 days. Vitamin C and total sugars of
the preserved samples were found to be almost stable. Sensory attributes also
revealed good overall acceptability of the juice. Thus, cashew apple juice could
be preserved using optimized chemical preservatives at household level.}
