Effect of non-nutritive sweeteners, chemical preservatives and antioxidants on microbial and sensory characteristics of dehydrated guava

A study was carried out to evaluate the effect of various concentrations of non nutritive sweeteners individually and in combination along with chemical preservatives i.e. potassium metabisulphite (PMS) and potassium sorbate (PS) and anti-oxidants including citric acid (CA) and ascorbic acid (AA) on...
