In present investigation the efforts have been made to prepare a therapeutic Squash made from blend of kinnow-aonla and aloe vera juice extracts. Keeping the present view the investigation was carried out during 2015-16 under Complete Randomized Design with seven treatments and three replications in each. Squashes for different treatments were prepared from blending of kinnow-aonla juice (cv. NA-7) and aloe vera gel in different proportions by keeping TSS (50%), acidity (1%) and preservative value (KMS- 350 ppm) constant and stored at ambient temperature. Data was collected from initial level to 120 days after storage at 60 days intervals. During the storage studies total soluble solids, acidity, reducing sugar and total sugars increased whereas, vitamin C, non- reducing sugar content and organoleptic score decreased with storage period. Based on experimental findings this study indicated that the treatment combination with T6 i.e. 25% Juice blend (consisting 5% Kinnow+70% Aonla juice + 25% Aloe vera gel) was found to be the most suitable in terms of quality, sensory scores and quality was remained acceptable up to 4 months (120 days) under ambient storage conditions.
