Abstract The study was planned with an objective to assess the shelf life of Thabdi Peda using selected packaging materials and subjected to modified atmospheric packaging. Thabdi Peda were prepared according to the standardized method and then transferred under hygienic conditions to transparent PVC tray packages. These trays were packed into pre-sterilized (with UV radiation) pouches made of Met-Polyester/Polyfilm pouches (65μ) (M1) and Polyester/Polyfilm pouches (92μ), and were stored at 20±20C and were assessed for Compositional, Physico-chemical, Textural, Microbiological and Sensory characteristics at regular interval of 10 days up to 30 days of storage. During storage, moisture, acidity, FFA, HMF, Soluble Nitrogen increased whereas pH, Water activity and Head space O2 content of Thabdi Peda decreased significantly (P<0.05). The fresh as well as stored samples of Thabdi Peda showed no coliform count during the entire study. Thabdi Peda subjected to N2 gas flushing treatment, increased stiffness, hardness, chewiness, adhesiveness and decreased cohesiveness. The colour and appearance, body and texture, flavour and overall acceptability scores of Thabdi Peda in both of the packages declined as storage period progressed, may be due to the reduced moisture and increased HMF, FFA content on storage. On the basis of storage related changes in compositional, textural, microbial and sensory attributes,the packaging material evaluated exhibited comparatively similar performance but based on cost criteria, the package Polyester/PE pouch (M2) can be preferred.
