    The present investigation entitled ‘‘Keeping quality of burfi prepared from cow milk blended with wood apple (Limonia acidissima) pulp” was undertaken in the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Science, and Department of Plant Pathology, Dr. PDKV, Akola (M.S). The objectives of the present investigations were to study the chemical, microbiological and sensory changes during storage on room temperature and refrigerated temperature. Burfi prepared from cow milk khoa blended with 20% wood apple pulp was used to study the keeping quality of burfi. The data obtained was statistically analyzed by FRBD. The results, revealed that fat, protein, lactose, sugar, ash, solids not fat, titratable acidity and total solids content of burfi was increased from 3rd day to 15th day in both room and refrigerated condition. While, moisture content reported decrease in trend in both room and refrigerated temperature. The rate of changes was found more in room temperature conditions. Regarding microbiological changes specially yeast and moulds count as well as SPC was measured and the results reflect that both are slightly increased after 3rd day to 15 days in both condition. On the basis of burfi microbiological studies and their respects standards during storage of burfi was acceptable upto 12 days and 15 days onwards at room temperature and refrigerated temperature, respectively. Sensory evaluation studies was conducted by a panel of judges and it was found that flavour, body and texture, colour and appearance and overall acceptability scores were decreased from 3rd days onwards. But burfi was acceptable up to 9 days and 12 days at room temperature and refrigerated temperature, respectively. It was concluded that wood apple burfi can be stored and utilized upto 12 days at room temperature and 15 days and onwards under refrigeration condition on the basis of microbial count.
