Taste score was 8.13, 7.75, 8.00 and 8.25, respectively. Consistency score was 8.25, 7.75, 7.75 and 7.75, respectively. Overall acceptability scores for sensory was 8.03, 7.75, 8.00 and 8.22, respectively. Sensory parameters of shrikhand i.e. Colour and appearance, flavour, taste and overall acceptability was increased progressively in all treatments but consistency goes on decreased and remain constant for jamun pulp added shrikhand.
