A study was conducted for the development of value added dahi by incorporating avocado pulp and carrot juice to increase the nutritional and sensory quality. The research work was undertaken to develop the avocado pulp-carrot juice blended probiotic dahi to get functional attributes. Combination of Avocado pulp and carrot juice incorporated at the level 5.0, 10.0, 15.0 per cent, added with optimized probiotic culture (1 per cent) and combination of avocado pulp-carrot juice at 10.0 per cent was optimized for further trials. The control and developed avocado pulp-carrot juice blended probiotic dahi samples were packed in Polyethylene (C), Polystyrene (P1), Polypropylene (P2) and Polyethylene teraphthalate (P3) cups. The sensory evaluation of the samples showed significant effect on sensory scores. The overall acceptability score for P3 was found to be higher 8.41 as against 8.50 for control. The control and developed avocado pulp-carrot juice blended probiotic dahi samples packed in Polyethylene (C), Polystyrene (P1), Polypropylene (P2) and Polyethylene teraphthalate (P3) cups are stored at room temperature 30±1ËšC. The control and developed avocado pulp-carrot juice blended probiotic dahi samples packed in Polyethylene (C), Polystyrene (P1), Polypropylene (P2) and Polyethylene teraphthalate (P3) cups are stored at room temperature 30±1ËšC and analyzed for physico-chemical characteristics showed increased in acidity with decrease in pH in all the samples irrespective of the packaging material used. Moisture loss was also observed in the samples which resulted in increase of total solids and fat content to a lesser content. The packaging materials were found to have significant effect on the physic-chemical characteristics of the samples.
