Due to rich Vitamin C content, amla is successfully used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. It is one of the oldest Indian fruits and considered as "wonder fruit for health". Amla pulp of fresh fruit contains 200-900 mg/100 g of vitamin C. Ascorbic acid retention was found to be decreased with increase in temperature. The fruit is highly perishable in nature and is available for short period from October to January. The amla fruit possess excellent nutritive and therapeutic value and to promote the use of amla among the public. Hence an attempt was made to standardized sweet-based products viz. jam, squash and jelly with different treatments. The prepared amla products were standardized based on sensory evaluation. The bio active components and sensory evaluation of amla products were analysed during the storage period. The shelflife studies of amla jam, squash and jelly were also done at room temperature and it has more shelflife with high organoleptic scores.
