Abstract
The physicochemical properties of juice from pineapple and watermelon and their ready to drink (RTD) blends were carried out. The % watermelon juice and pineapple juice of each formulation (v/v) were BL1 (70:30), BL2 (60:40), BL3 (50:50), BL4 (30:70) and BL5 (40:60). The standards were done without blending the two juices SPJ (100% standard pineapple juice) and SWJ (100% standard watermelon juice). The results of the analysis of Vitamin C content (mg/g) gave 125.26 in SWJ, 38.90 in SPJ, 111.58 in BL1, 98.94 BL2, 86.31 BL3, 72.63 BL4 and 84.21 BL5 respectively. The vitamin C content of the RTD blends increase with high proportion of SWJ. The results revealed that all the blends especially 70:30 (watermelon: pineapple) gave an improved composition in terms of the physicochemical properties determined.
