Abstract

Sugar coated candy was prepared using unripened well developed papaya fruits of six cultivars; Co.1 Co.6 Hybrid Co.6 Punjab Sweet Pusa and Pusa Dwarf with and without papain extraction. Papaya was sliced steeped in lime water 15-20 min. pricked treated with alum boiled in water and cooked in sugar syrup 800C. The modified method of papaya candy took only 8 hours as compared to 4-5 days by the traditional method. The high contents of reducing sugars increased storability and freshness of the candy at both ambient 30-350 C and refrigerated l0-150 C temperatures. Moisture sorption of isotherms of the papaya candy were sigmoid typically of Type I. The candy had ERH of 83 corresponding to the safe 1imits of 0.65-0.85 aw. Organoleptically Co.6 and Punjab sweet papaya candies were adjudged best at both the storage temperatures.
