Bael ( Aegle marmelos) ( also known as Bengal quince, stone apple) is a species of tree native to India. It is present throughout Southeast Asia as a naturalized species.Its fruit are used in traditional medecine and as a food throughout its range.
The bael fruit has a smooth, woody shell with a green, gray, or yellow peel. It takes about 11 months to ripen on the tree and can reach the size of a large grapefruit or pomelo, and some are even larger. The shell is so hard it must be cracked with a hammer or machete. The fibrous yellow pulp is very aromatic. It has been described as tasting of marmalade and smelling of roses. Numerous hairy seeds are encapsulated in a slimy mucilage.
Food Uses : -
Bael fruits may be cut in half, or the soft types broken open, and the pulp, dressed with palm sugar, eaten for breakfast, as is a common practice in Indonesia. The pulp is often processed as nectar or " squash" ( diluted nectar) . A popular drink ( called " sherbet" in India) is made by beating the seeded pulp together with milk and sugar. A beverage is also made by combining bael fruit pulp with that of tamarind. These drinks are consumed perhaps less as food or refreshment than for their medicinal effects.
Mature but still unripe fruits are made into jam, with the addition of citric acid. The pulp is also converted into marmalade or sirup, likewise for both food and therapeutic use, the marmalade being eaten at breakfast by those convalescing from diarrhea and dysentery. A firm jelly is made from the pulp alone, or, better still, combined with guava to modify the astringent flavor. The pulp is also pickled.
Bael pulp is steeped in water, strained, preserved with 350 ppm S02, blended with 30% sugar, then dehydrated for 15 hrs at 120º F ( 48.89º C) and pulverized. The powder is enriched with 66 mg per 100 g ascorbic acid and can be stored for 3 months for use in making cold drinks ( " squashes" ) . A confection, bael fruit toffee, is prepared by combining the pulp with sugar, glucose, skim milk powder and hydrogenated fat. Indian food technologists view the prospects for expanded bael fruit processing as highly promising.
