11. STEPS INVOLVED IN JELLY MAKING
Collection of ingredients[stem powder,sugar,cornstarch,lemon peel powder]
Adding granulated sugar to a pot and then pour water
Adding few drops of lemon juice and lemon zest

sprinkling a small handful over the set sugar mixture remove from the pan sprinkle the other side and slice into
bite-sized pieces you are now ready to serve.
14. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
TRAIL 1: Trail 1 is failed – Due to incorrect measure of sugar.
OUTPUT : Jelly becomes hard and granular sugar is observed.
TRAIL 2: Trail 2 is failed- Due to Excess of water.
OUTPUT : Jelly becomes too soft unable to form jelly like structure.
TRAIL 3 : Trail 3 –Improvements are observed in the formation of good
texture of jelly. Due to precise measurements and parameters.
15. SENSORY EVALUATION OF SAMPLE
