INTRODUCTION: The wood apple, swingle (Limonia acidissimia L.) is the only species of its genus, in the family Rutaceae. Besides wood apple, it may be called as elephant apple, monkey fruit, kathbel, and other dialectal names in India 1. Other Indian names include Kotha, Vila, Vilanga, Kapith, Vela marum 2. The fruit is a hard-shelled, many-seeded berry with its pinkish-brown aromatic sour-sweet pulp being the edible portion, the seeds embedded in it.
It is an ideal tree to be exploited for growing in wasteland 3. The fruit is used in India as a liver and cardiac tonic, when unripe, as an astringent (halting diarrhea and dysentery), effective treatment for hiccups, sore throat, and diseases of the gums 15. Wood apple lowers the blood glucose level, blood pressure and reduces lipid levels in hyperlipidemia subjects 4.
The fruit pulp has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic activity 5. Nowadays, this fruit has a great potential for value addition especially the food industry and beverage industry, due to its excellent flavor and nutritive value. Many wood apple products are new to consumers, sincere efforts need to be made to introduce them in the market and to evaluate the consumer acceptance and economic viability of commercialization of such products 6. This not only will open new avenues as a means of augmenting the utilization of high yielding nutritious fruits to the best possible extent but will also give a fillip to the establishment of wood apple processing industry.
Since, the consumers have an ultimate say, in the selection of any food, study of acceptability and nutrients is of prime importance 7. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to exploit the excellent and delightful pulp characters having exceptional medicinal value of these fruits in novel food product industry, which would help to overcome market glut and thereby assure economic prices to the fruits with the following objectives.
Objectives of the Study:
- To develop wood apple pulp and its powder.
- To develop food products by using wood apple pulp and its dry powder.
- To estimate the sensory evaluation of the developed food products.
- To analysis the nutritional value, antioxidant activity and phytochemical properties in the developed food products (spread & cookies).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ripe wood apple (Limonia acidissima) with a hard shell, fairly large and globular shaped was purchased from the local market and stored at room temperature.
Preparation of Wood Apple Pulp: Fruits were first washed to remove the dirt. The hard shell was cracked open. The soft yellowish-brown pulp is scooped out. The pulp was mashed manually to get a homogenized mass.
Preparation of Wood Apple Pulp Powder: Two kg of wood apple were procured from the market, cleaned than hard shell was broken and pulp was removed from the shell. Pulp was dried in a hot air oven at a temperature of 600 °C for 8 h, made into powder, and used for the preparation of food products.

Baking powder and refined wheat flour were sieved twice. Butter and powdered sugar were creamed, blended with sieved flour. Then wood apple dried powder was added gradually. The smooth dough was made by using milk. The dough was rolled and cut using a biscuit cutter, transfer into a tray. Preheat the oven and put the tray into the oven, baked at 170 °C for 15 min.
Sensory Evaluation of the Developed Food Products: The sensory evaluation of the developed value-added products (spread & cookies) was carried out to select the most acceptable variation.
Physiochemical and Nutrient Analysis of the Developed Food Products:
Physical Characteristics: The physical characteristic of traditional product diameter, thickness, weight was assessed. Cooking quality parameters viz., cooked diameter, cooked weight, the cooked thickness was assessed, and the Nutrients were also analyzed in the developed products.
Estimation of Moisture: The moisture content of the sample was estimated by the hot air oven method. Moisture was determined by taking about 10 g of sample in Petri dish and dried in an oven at 105 °C till the weight of the Petri dish with its content was constant. Each time before weighing, the Petri dish was cooled in desiccators. The moisture content of the sample was expressed in g/100g of the sample.
Moisture content (g/100 g) = (Initial weight (g) - Final weight (g)) / (Weight of the sample (g)) × 100
Estimation of Protein: The protein content of the dried samples were estimated as percent total nitrogen by the Micro-Kjeldahl method (AOAC, 2005) in kjel plus (pelican equipment, India) 8.
Estimation of Fat: Fat was estimated as crude ether extract using moisture free samples. Fat estimated by Soxhlet extraction (AOAC) in socs plus (Pelican equipment, India) 8.
The solvent was removed by evaporation and the residue of fat was weighed.
Fat content (g /100 g) = Weight of ether extract (g) / Weight of sample taken (g) × 100
Estimation of Fiber: Fiber content of the sample was estimated by using moisture and fat-free samples. The fiber was estimated by boiling in acid (sulphuric acid 0.255 N) and subsequent alkali (0.31 N NaOH) using the Gerhardt fiber bag system. Then it was filtered and washed with distilled water and dried at 80 ºC - 100 ºC. Sample in the crucible with residue (We). Ashing was done in a muffle furnace. The ash content was cooled in desiccators and weighed (Wa). The difference represents the crude fiber content of the sample and was expressed as gram per 100 g or percent.
Crude fiber (g/100 g sample) = [100 - (moisture*+fat)] × (We-Wa) / Weight of sample taken (moisture and fat free)
Estimation of Ash: Total ash was estimated by taking about 5 g of the sample into a crucible (which was previously been heated to about 600 ºC and cooled). The crucible was placed on a clay pipe triangle and heated first over a low flame till all the material was completely charred followed by heating in a muffle furnace for about 4 to 5 h at about 600 ºC. It was then cooled and weighed. This was repeated till two consecutive weights were the same and the ash was almost white or grayish-white.
Ash content (g/100 g sample) = Weight of the ash (g) / Weight of the sample (g) × 100
Calculation of Carbohydrate: Carbohydrate content was calculated by the differential method.
Carbohydrate (g/100 g) = 100 - [Protein (g) + Fat (g) + Fibre (g) + Ash (g) + Moisture (g)]
Estimation of Magnesium: Determination of magnesium was carried out in the di-acid digest of wood pulp tissues using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer by using orthophenanthroline method.
Estimation of Iron: The iron content of the sample was estimated by using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer and the results were expressed in mg per 100 g of the sample.
Estimation of Sodium / Potassium: Sodium/potassium in solution is atomized into oxyhydrogen or oxyacetylene flame. The flame excites atoms of sodium/potassium causing them to omit radiations at specific wavelengths, the amount of radiation emitted is measured on a spectrophotometer. Under standard conditions, it is proportional to the concentration of sodium/potassium in solution.
Estimation of Sodium: Sodium was estimated by using a flame photometer.
Estimation of Potassium: Potassium was estimated using a flame photometer.
Estimation of Antioxidant Activity: DPPH scavenging activity was determined by the method of Blois 2000 with slight modification. The absorbance was measured at 517 nm.
Methanol was used as a reference and all reagents (2 ml methanol + 1 ml DPPH) used as blank.
Polyphenol: Folin Ciocalteu’s reagent method was used to determine total phenols. Absorbance was measured at 765 nm using a spectrophotometer.
Evaluation of Phytonutrients in Wood Apple Pulp Incorporated Food Products: The phytochemical content of developed wood apple incorporated spread and cookies were assessed. The phytonutrients and antioxidants assessed include tannins, saponins, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, alkaloids, polyphenols triterpenoids, and cardiac glycoside.
Tannins: Tannin content was determined by the Folies-Denis colorimetric method described by Kirk. The absorbance was measured in a spectrophotometer at 260 nm using the reagent blank to calibrate the instrument at zero.
Gallic Acid and Catechins: Gallic acid and catechins were quantitatively estimated using a waters HPLC system with luna 5µ phenyl hexyl phenomena column (4.5 mm × 250 mm) and UV-vis detector set at 278 nm.
Cost Calculation of the Developed Products: The cost involved in the processing of the wood apple value-added products viz., wood apple pulp incorporated spread, and wood apple dry powder incorporated cookies were calculated by taking into account the fixed and variable cost during processing.
The statistical analysis was done by the SPSS method.
