Abstract
The fruit rolls are made of carrot and guava pulp to make Vitamin C and Vitamin A enriched rolls and to meet the 20% of RDA of Vitamin C and Vitamin A for 25g of product intake and extensive trials were done to find out the best combination by using blending technology and finally, the ratio of 60:40 of guava and carrot pulp was mixed with other ingredients. The mixture was then dried in a solar dryer patented by Society for Energy, Environment and Development for about 12-16 hours at a range of 50-60°C. The dried mixture was cut, made into rolls, packed, and kept for storage at three different conditions and analyzed physico-chemical, nutritional, overall acceptability, and microbial parameters. It was concluded that the shelf-life of enriched leather is about 3 months with the objective of 20% of RDA of Vitamin C and Vitamin A for 25g of product intake.
