Wild pomegranate is not a cultivated fruit but found in wild form in certain pockets of six districts of Himachal Pradesh viz., Shimla, Sirmour, Solan, Mandi, Kullu and Chamba. The present studies were conducted to develop syrup from wild pomegranate and its quality evaluation during storage. Different combinations of juice (25, 30, 35 and 40 %) and TSS (65 and 70 oB) were tried to standardize proper combination for the development of syrup. Out of 8 different treatment combinations of juice and TSS tried, syrup with 40 per cent juice, 70 oB TSS and 1.
