A khoa variety popularly known as Danedar khoa, which has a very short life under ambient conditions, was studied for its shelf life at room and refrigerated temperatures under controlled conditions after packaging in a flexible material (poster paper/aluminium foil/low‐density polyethylene [LDPE]). The samples were observed periodically for characteristics such as moisture content, peroxide value, titratable acidity and overall acceptability. Samples packed under nitrogen and stored under refrigeration were found to be distinctly superior in all respects.
