fiber 0.12%, mineral matter 0.21, TSS 4.32° Brix and acidity 0.18%. Gurma melon pulp were used to
prepare both flavored jam by adding up to 1.5% of cinnamon and mixed jam by substituting up to 30%
of fig with Gurma melon. All the jam samples were stored in sterilized glass jars at room temperature
for 6 months and the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics were studied. The results
