Premature setting of jam is due to

A. Low TSS

B. High TSS

C. Microbial spoilage

D. None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

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.
