Abstract

The galgal juice can be preserved either by the addition of 20 per cent salt or by 2000 ppm KMS and can be kept for about a year without any spoilage at room temperature of 30–35°C. The juice stored with salt can be utilized for culinary purpose whereas the juice kept with KMS can be used for blending other juices in the preparation of squashes.
