Q128

Premature setting of jam is due to

A.
Low TSS
Answer
B.
High TSS
C.
Microbial spoilage
D.
None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The premature setting of the jam is due to Low TSS. This problem arises due to the presence of low total soluble solids and high pectin content.
A high percentage of total soluble solids makes the jam sticky and gummy. This can be prevented by the addition of a sufficient amount of citric acid, pectin, or both.
