Abstract: With the changing consumer attitudes, demands and emergence of new market products, it has become imperative for producers to develop products, which have nutritional as well as health benefits. In this case an investigation was carried with the objective to standardize the process for preparation of guava leather of cultivars Lalith. Preliminary experiments were conducted to find out the optimum levels of sugar, citric acid and salt for preparation of quality leather. The leather prepared was packed in butter paper and stored for 90 days at both ambient (25+2 ℃) and refrigerated temperature (5+2 ℃) to study their storage feasibility. The stored samples were drawn periodically at 30 days interval for analysis. The storage studies indicate that there was a gradual decrease in moisture, ascorbic acid, with advancement of storage period. While TSS, reducing sugars and acidity, total sugars were increased continuously. The sensory quality of guava leather decreased at faster rate during storage. However guava leather was found to be acceptable in good condition even after 90 days of storage at ambient and refrigerated temperature.
