Abstract
The knowledge provided by this work may be useful the development of new product (watermelon candy) from watermelon rind impregnated with anthocyanin. The extent and rate of infusion of anthocyanin was enhanced by application of pretreatments like vacuum and sonication. The developed product had highly acceptable texture, taste and appearance. The product was quite stable at ambient temperature upto 75% RH in LDPE (low density polyethylene pouches) and PET/LDPE (Polyethylene therapthalate/low density polyethylene pouches) pouches without significant difference in moisture content, anthocyanin degradation, texture, taste and appearance of the product. The WMR product was stable for 90Â days at ambient storage conditions. This technique may be helpful in producing foods with enriched bioactive compounds, besides providing diversified products in terms of taste and nutrition.
