Short term storage of jaggery by different methods under laboratory conditions indicated that the jaggery stored in air tight container for 90 days maintained its quality and colour closely followed by wrapping with alkathene film and packed in paper box covered by polythene pouch as compared to jaggery kept open as it is without covering wrapped with gunny and Hessian cloth or packed with sugarcane trash and stored.

Abstract
