Abstract

Ghewar, an Indian traditional sweet, is prepared from maida, deep-fat-fried into honey comb structure and sweetened with sugar syrup. Optimum conditions of preparation and recipe were standardized in the laboratory. Laboratory samples of ghewar had optimum physico-chemical and sensory qualities. Samples were stored for 30 days in low density polyethylene (LDPE) 200 gauge bags and in open trays at ambient temperature, without any discernible change in sensory quality, except for a slight toughening of texture. Free fatty acid content showed negligible increase, but peroxide value decreased.
