The present study was undertaken to study the effect of storage temperature on the textural properties of market samples of KajuKatli and to investigate the significance of the effect of ambient (fluctuating) versus steady storage temperature conditions on the textural properties of products. Ambient storage in the glass shelves or jar is the most common and preferred method of storage by sweet vendors in India. So, the market samples of product were procured and stored at designated temperature conditions, 5 ± 1oC, 80± 5% RH) incubator at (18 ± 1oC, 55± 5% RH) and (30 ±1oC, 55± 5% RH), and at ambient condition (18 – 30oC, 70 ± 5%RH) for different time periods and analysed for change in textural properties. From the results, it can be concluded that the common market practice of storage of KajuKatli under ambient temperature conditions does not adversely affect its textural quality for the indicated shelf life.
