Description :
In the present study a fruit class vegetable tomato was grown using vermicompost,
normal soil & manure prepared from kitchen waste & was studied for its sensory
characteristics. Recipe was formulated & evaluated. There trial (T1, T2 & T3) were
conducted for testing of various sensory characteristics such as appearance, colour,
texture, test, flavor & acceptability. For this purpose five human panelists were coded
as T1,T2,T3, T4 & T5. Recipes were served fresh based on mean values results were
tabulated & analyzed statistically by applying one way annova & scheff’s test. It was
observed that kitchen waste manure variety significantly scored maximum than normal
soil vermicompost. It show highly significant difference in both varieties when compared
on organoleptic characteristics. Thus it was concluded that kitchen waste manure was
highly appreciated & more superior in all sensory characters over normal soil, which
was statistically proved. Thus by using organic manure & vermicompost for growing
vegetables, we can save our ecosystem & health by consuming these fresh organic
vegetable.
