The storage study was conducted for 60 days From the study, it is concluded that the quality of ready to eat thalipeeth at ambient as well as at frozen condition were found to be remained in good condition till the last day of analysis (60h day) with respect to the quality characteristics like sensory, microbial and proximate parameters. However, the frozen product was highly superior in terms of high moisture retention and other quality parameters as compared to ambient stored sample. There were no significant difference observed during 60 days of storage study and therefore, this can be serving as good RTE product for people and it can be consumed at any time either after heating or as such after opening the packet.
