The quality of baby corn candy prepared with four different sugar concentrations (20/30/40°B, 30/40/50°B, 40/50/60°B and 50/60/70°B) in two different shapes (Rectangular and Whole) was evaluated for acceptability and storage stability. The sensory scores of rectangular shaped candies prepared from 40/50/60°brix scored between “like very much to like extremely” in terms of overall acceptability (8.2) compared to other treatments. Optimum sugar concentration of 40/50/60°brix with 24 hours steeping resulted in water loss and solid gain of 32.25 % and 7.33 %, respectively. The analyzed nutritional quality of 40/50/60°brix rectangular candy is as follows; ash (2.2%), fat (0.5%), protein (1.93 %), crude fiber (1.95 %), carbohydrate (86.0 %), calcium (24 mg), magnesium (85.33 mg), iron(0.23 mg) and phosphorus (64.13 mg) contents. From storage studies, it was revealed that the rectangular candy has better sensory traits when stored for six months in MPP pouches at ambient condition with good retention of flavor, taste and texture without any adverse effect on nutritional quality. Consumer acceptability for school children’s conducted in three different locations at V.C. Farm, Hassan and Mandya indicated that maximum number (82.2 %) of consumers rated the candy as “very good” followed by good (11.1%) and not good (6.6%), respectively.
