1. Introduction of Technology/Process/Product
i. Name of Technology/Process/Product:
Production of Guava Nectar
ii. Summary:
The beverage industry including the fruit juice industry is considered to be one of
the largest industrial sector in Pakistan. Common people especially young
generation is inclined to have ready to consume drinks and nectars. Nectars are
relatively new fruit products in which whole fruit is made into beverage, with
addition of sugar water and acid. It varies from fruit juice because of the presence
of added water and suspended solids, but resembles with it in flavour.
As the nectars are prepared from the whole fruit, so there are some advantages in
the utilization of the peel in the product. The peel adds essential oils present in it to
the pulp. It imparts aroma and flavour stability in the product during storage.
Inclusion of the peel also increases nutritive value of the nectar as it is rich in many
nutrients. Keeping in view the popularity of nectars . Food Technology Center of
PCSIR Laboratories Complex, Peshawar has developed a processes for the
production of guava nectar. The primary objective of this study is to preserve the
perishable guava fruits in a stable form that can be stored and supplied to local and
distant markets during all month of the year. The product is delicious and
refreshing. All the vitamins, minerals and aroma are fully preserved in the nectar.
iii. Project brief (Local/International Perspective)
Guava is a tropical fruit with appealing taste and aroma, abundantly produced in
Pakistan. It is comparatively inexpensive, nutritious and rich source of ascorbic
acid. 100 g of edible portion of guava provides 229mg vitamin C. In Peak harvest
season, there is plenty of guava fruit in the market which sells at low price and most
of the fruit is wasted due to the short shelf life of the fruit . Attempts have been
made to utilize the surplus fruit for the preparation of guava nectar. The product is
delicious and refreshing having all the taste and aroma of fresh guava fruit.
