ABSTRACT
Rimas (Artocarpus Altilis Park Fosb) Catsup were subjected to physical proximate analysis following AOAC standard method of analysis. And the results were also subjected to consumer acceptability. Rimas Catsup got a pH of 3.88, TTA of 0.76%, TSS of 22.0 Brix with a viscous consistency and a very fine and smooth composition of rimas catsup is much better than its counterpart, although To got higher dry matter, ash, crude fiber content, however T4 got higher crude protein and moisture content of 0.84 and 74.54% respectively. Results revealed that out of 100 respondents, only 39% signified they like the newly developed rimas catsup and 15% disliked the product. For commercial catsup obtained the highest acceptability score with 41% respondents signified they like the commercial catsup. While there were 5% disliked the commercial catsup. Results further suggests that processing rimas catsup is technologically possible and economically feasible.
