Abstract

Different storage period were attempted at low temperature (7-9°C) for knowing the long and better shelf life of jaggery. With increase in storage time, there was decrease in quality of jaggery but there was complete check of microbial growth till storage period of 2 years 8 months with some changes in physicochemical characteristics and visual observations along with smell like old jaggery. But storage of jaggery upto 1 year 8 months was very safe with no changes in quality.
