The experiment was laid in factorial completely randomized block design with three replications. The experiment results revealed that, Highest reducing sugars (20.4%) were recorded in T6 (Aloe vera 40% + guava 60%) (20.4%), non-reducing sugars (12.5%), total sugars (32.9%). The highest colour appearance (8.4) were recorded the treatment Aloe vera 40% + guava 60% (T6), aroma (8.7), taste (8.7) and overall acceptability (8.8) on a 9 point Hedonic Rating Scale. No detectable mould count and bacterial count and negligable total viable count were observed in all the above treatments during 4 months of storage period of 2nd experiment.
