Apricots are native to parts of Asia. They are hugely popular in Middle Eastern countries, with Turkey and Iran being the world’s largest producers of the fruit. Spanish missionaries are credited with introducing the apricot to California, which is the leading state of apricot production within the United States. In watermelon, the rind constituted 33% of the whole fruit weight. Value added preserved products like pickles, tutti fruity, vadiyams and cheese were prepared using the white portion of watermelon rind. The quality of products in terms of physical parameters was evaluated. All products were subjected to sensory evaluation test using a panel of 20 judges. Results showed that mean sensory scores for product attributes were high. There was no change in mean scores after one month storage.
