Aonla (Emblica officinalis) is an important crop indigenous to Indian subcontinent which is used in alternative medicine, health foods and herbal products. It is also found to be a rich source of ascorbic acid and other bioactive substances as compared to any other fruits. The current research work was taken to the effect of different natural oil/extract on chemical changes in aonla candy during storage. With a view to develop value added products, from aonla cultivar NA-7, candy was prepared under different treatments. The prepared candy was kept at ambient condition for storage study. The candy remained acceptable upto 180 days at ambient condition. The candy prepared from Ginger extract (10 ml/lit) treatment retained maximum amount of ascorbic acid, and non-reducing sugar and appreciable amount of acidity, reducing sugars, total sugars, and total phenol and observed minimum changes in total soluble solids than rest of the treatments and their increasing trend with advancement of storage period upto 180 days was recorded under ambient condition. On the other hand, candy prepared from Ginger extract (10 ml/lit) had low browning (0.11 OD) and highest organoleptic (8.00) score and these traits showed increasing and decreasing trend respectively with increasing storage period upto180 days. The candy prepared from Ginger extract (10 ml/lit) had the maximum benefit: Cost ratio (1.52:1), high sensory evaluation score and high nutritional quality.
