Today’s Task
Event: I planned on formulating peach fruit juice today.
How I felt it (initially before executing the actual task): I always love to formulate new and innovative products.
Actual Task: Product formulation
Commercial peach fruit juice is usually a blend of water, peach puree concentrate, sweetener, acidity regulators, flavours and with or without preservatives. Peach juice is often used in formulating mocktails and cocktails; therefore, the juice should have a desirable sweetness and flavour. In addition, the formulation and processing should be done with utmost care to give the product a longer shelf life with no loss of flavour. Hence, three things were considered while formulating peach juice- standardising the peach puree concentration, maintaining the brix value and pasteurisation. Once all the ingredients were collected, the peach juice was formulated using whole peach fruit and stabilisers with no added sugar or preservatives. The product was then stored at an ambient temperature for shelf life analysis.

The product turned out well since it was formulated after numerous trials. However, we would like to do further trials to study more about improving the product’s stability.
A better formulation with improved shelf life could have been carried out
