Summary

Effects of various biochemical components, other additives and different storage conditions on the stability of carotenoids in the sulphited mango pulp have been investigated. Carotenoids were more stable at higher levels of sulphur dioxide. Ascorbic acid and antioxidants helped in better retention of carotenoids. Retention of carotenoids was higher in the pulp packed in glass containers and with least surface area exposed to air and stored at low temperatures. Maximum retention of carotenoids was found in the pulps of "Neelum" followed by "Totapuri" and "Chausa".
