With the aim of extending the post-harvest life and preparation different product (Candy and Juice) by minimizing the loss of vitamin-C and optimizing organoleptic score, an experiment was conducted. Vitamin C content of aonla candy and juice were highest in whole fruits packed in aluminium foil bag after 4 and 8 months of storage. In organoleptic score (test and marketability) of candy and juice prepared after 4 and 8 months of storage, whole fruits, fruits treated with 1 % ascorbic acid or 1 % citric acid and aluminium foil bag packed frozen fruit’s products (candy and juice) recorded maximum organoleptic score.
