Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis L.), an important fruit crop, is being grown on commercial scale in different parts of India. There is a great demand for aonla fruits and its products owing to their nutritional, medicinal properties and delicacy. The present investigation aimed at finding out suitable packing material and storage conditions for retention of chemical properties in osmo-air dried aonla segments as in the fresh product/fruits. Different kinds of packages viz. 200 gauge high density polyethylene bag, punnet and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) jar were used to pack freshly prepared product. Packed samples were stored at room temperature under light and dark conditions, and at low temperature for 6 months. Results revealed that samples packed in PET jar and stored at low temperature retained highest ascorbic acid and acidity. Furthermore, there was an increase in reducing sugar, total sugars, and partial reduction in non-reducing sugar content of the product during storage. Samples stored at low temperature showed lower non enzymatic browning values than the samples stored at room temperature. Among different treatments, significantly low non enzymatic browning (0.043 OD at 440 nm) was recorded in product stored in PET jar at low temperature. Same treatment was rated the best during the sensory evaluation, thus it could be concluded that, packing the produce in PET jar and storing them under low temperature is a promising way to improve the storage life of osmo-air dried aonla segments.
