The experiment was carried out to assess the physico-chemical characteristics of custard apple fruits, standardization of pulp: water ratio and recipes for jam and to study the sensory qualities changes of jam during storage at ambient temperature. The experiment was done during the year 2016-17 in the Department of Fruit Science, College of Agriculture, IGKV, Raipur (C.G.). Under the present study physico-chemical characteristics of fruit was observed and found that the 50:50 (pulp: water) ratio got highest organoleptic score from different ratio of pulp: water. As per the investigation, results revealed that 50% pulp, 75% TSS and 0.3 % acidity was found most suitable for jam among all recipes. During storage reducing sugar, total sugar and acidity increased, while ascorbic acid and non-reducing sugar decreased continuously in jam. The product was organoleptically acceptable for four months.
