From above three trials T3 was selected according to ten panelist members by using five point hedonic scale. Then we start storage study up to 60 days after interval of 10 days. The values of nutrients were increase significantly while the values of protein content, fat content and sensory score decreases significantly during 60 days of storage at ambient temperature. From above storage study we observe shelf life of malted ragi cookies are 60 days. After storage study the Physicochemical, Microbial and Sensory quality attributes of the product were evaluated. Malted ragi cookies contain Energy (357.00 kcal), Carbohydrate (74.09 gm), Protein (10.40gm), Fat (3.04 gm), Crude fiber (3.05gm).
