ANNEXURE-II
Main Points to be Considered
In Squash/Syrup Making
1. Before extraction of lime or Galgal juice put some sugar in the container to
avoid bitterness of Juice due to exposure to air.
2. Care should be taken not to add lime juice in hot Sugar Syrup otherwise squash
will turn bitter.
3. Citric acid or Lime Juice is added to prevent the crystallization of sugar in the
syrup. It also cleans the sugar syrup besides increasing the acidity and taste of
the product.
4. While illing squash in clean bottles leave a head space of (1-1.5 inch.)
5. Dilute the squash with water before serving it.
