Parameters | LPe | LPu | SDR | SDS | Significance |
Ascorbic Acid (mg/100 g) | 57.96 ± 4.29a | 52.53 ± 1.59a | 80.18 ± 2.77b | 81.11 ± 1.84b | P < 0.001 |
Total Acidity (%) | 20.65 ± 0.09b | 25.00 ± 0.31d | 22.69 ± 0.08c | 0.528 ± 0.02a | P < 0.001 |
pH | 3.13 ± 0.12a | 2.93 ± 0.13a | 3.12 ± 0.12a | 5.22 ± 0.17b | P < 0.001 |
Note: All the values are mean ± SEM. Mean values with the same superscript letters in the given row are not significantly different whereas those with different superscript letters are significantly (P < 0.001) different as judged by Duncan’s multiple range test. LPe—lyophilized peel; LPu—lyophilized pulp; SDR—sun-dried rind; and SDS—sun-dried seed.
