The sensory quality of gulabjamuns (an Indian milk-sweet preparation), prepared from jamun ready-mix samples fumigated with phosphine at the effective dosage of 2 g/m3 with 5 days exposure period at 29±2°C, was satisfactory. The levels of phosphine residues in the ready-mix samples were 0.16, 0.02 and 0.01 ppm, respectively after 2, 7 and 12 days aeration, following fumigation. No residues were detected in ready-to-eat product.
