Abstract

Muskmelons possess strong therapeutic value. Muskmelon possesses antioxidant, anti-ulcer, anti-oxidative, free radical scavenging
and anti-diabetic properties due to dietary fiber, beta- carotene, Ascorbic acid and minerals present in it. The study was planned to investigate the effect of different preservation techniques on the quality of muskmelon juice. It was concluded that because of its numerous health benefits, Muskmelon should also be processed for squash preparation and many other value-added products as it is nutritious fruit and sugarcane should be processed as a beverage. It should be processed and preserved by different preservation techniques like thermosonication as it enhances physicochemical attributes and sensory properties of muskmelon juice.
