dc.description.abstractNote: See the PDF Version The underutilized fruit crops are the plant species that are traditionally used for their food, fiber, fodder, oil or medicinal properties. Wide range of underutilized fruit species are grown in tropical and subtropical regions and some of them are utilized for food purposes; as fresh fru its, curries, salads and as homely prepared processed foods (Pushpakumara et u/., 2000). Ambarella (Spoiidiasdiilcis) i z one of the underutilized and seasonal fruit crops in Sri Lanka. Ambarella is widely utilized as a curry and chutney in Sri Lanka, however, the majority of the fruit production is wasted without utilizing during the seasonal periods. Nectar is a popular and widely consuming beverage manufactured basically from fruits worldwide. These fruits contain a number of natural materials that contribute to the overall flavor and consistency of the nectar including water, sugars, organic acids, and flavor compounds that are important to our diet. Besides water and sugar, it is an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium and folic acid, which are recommended for women who are pregnant or may become pregnant (Ouuasena e/ at., 2003). Therefore, manufacturing of fruit nectar front Ambarella as a ready to serve value added product to the Sri Lankan food and beverage industry will be a good solution for the enormous wastage of local Ambarella fruits.en_US
