This study was carried out to evaluate the best preservation methods and suitable variety for guava pulp preservation. Two guava varieties (L-49 and Lalit) pulp preserved with nine different treatments viz., potassium meta bi-sulphite 0.1% (T1), sodium benzoate 0.1% (T2), potassium meta bi-sulphite + sodium benzoate 0.05% each, sodium benzoate + potassium sorbate 0.05% (T4), potassium meta bi-sulphite + potassium sorbate 0.05% each (T5), potassium sorbate 0.025% (T6), potassium sorbate 0.05% (T7), potassium sorbate 0.1% (T8) and frozen storage -20°C (T9) and replicated four times with two experimental sets under Factorial CRD. The results revealed that at the end of storage (90 days) analyzed good qualitative characters organoleptic value (flavor, taste, colour, texture and overall acceptability) and colour a* and b* value by in low temperature storage (-20°C) followed by addition of potassium meta bi-sulphite 0.1%, sodium benzoate + potassium meta bi-sulphite 0.05% each and potassium sorbate 0.1%.
