Synopsis

Sugarcane is one of the most important agro-industrial crops as well as one of the most important cash crops. Sugarcane is the primary raw material for all major sweeteners produced in the country and sugarcane juice is a high-energy drink that is natural, sweet and is a healthy alternative to refined sugar added drinks. The present research work was undertaken for processing and storage of pasteurized sugarcane juice by using different packaging materials and storage temperatures in obtaining better quality sugarcane juice. Sugarcane variety co6304 were selected for preparing sugarcane juice beverage on the basis of yield and sensory attributes for the storage and processing in this study. From the biochemical parameters and sensory evaluation results, it is concluded that the prepared pasteurized sugarcane juice can be stored safely up to 45 days and can be use as a nutritious packaged pasteurized sugarcane juice drink alternative to other sugar added drinks.
