product. Orange is blended with beetroot as a flavour replacer of earthy smell of beetroot. it is a pectin rich fruit and beetroot lacks pectin so that will help to increase the texture and also enrich the jelly with nutrients especially vitamin-C. In order to make value addition, the present study of beetroot jelly blended with orange which is in the proportion of 60:40 was successfully done.

also rich in betalian, carotenoids, powerful dietary source.Beetroot mainly consist of 87% water,8% carbohydrates and 2-3% of fiber. Fortified Beetroot and orange Jelly making involves important constituents such as pectin, acid and sugar. In order to make value addition, the present study of beetroot jelly fortified with orange (Orbeet jelly) which is in the proportion of 60:40 respectively was successfully done that contains beetroot as base, as it contains active compounds, vitamins and minerals.Orange is selected on the basis of its higher pectin content and rich source of vitamin C, vit.A, floate,Calcium and potassium.It improved heart health, reduce blood pressure and enhance the exercise capacity.it contains Energy-386 Kcal, Carbohydrate-79%, floate-37%, vit.C-14 mg,Vit. A- 6.5 mg. In final product, the present study was made for development of Orbeet jelly and its sensory attribute was carried out. Jelly was successfully developed by using 2% pectin, 0.5% citric acid and 61% sugar.The jelly with the goodness of beetroot and orange having a good nutritional value was developed successfully.it can be recommended to all age groups to maintain the immunity. Key Words: Dietary source, Constituents, Sensory attributes.
