Development of freshly prepared phalsa-pear blended beverage

Phalsa (Grewia subinaequalis L.) fruit is highly perishable in nature and has very short shelf life. Due to its acidic taste it is not palatable, hence processing is essential. Blending of two or more juices is thought to be a convenient alternate for utilizing them in some value added fruit drinks which will be of high quality in respect to both sensory and nutritional aspects.
