<Abstract>An effort was made to develop value added products from underutilized fruit Carambola (Averrhoa carambola) to assess its prospect in marketability and evaluated the storage stability of quality attributes at 25-34&#176;C, 10&#176;C and 0&#176;C storage temperatures for 6 months. Carambola Jam showed 70.43&#177;0.02% Carbohydrate, 1.14&#177;0.04% Fiber, 0.47&#177;0.01% Ash, 2.45 pH, 68.40&#177;0.02% TSS, 0.015 mg/100 g Vitamin-C, energy 284.87&#177;0.2 Kcal and in Squash 42.04&#177;0.01% Carbohydrate, 0.08&#177;0.01% Fiber, 0.39&#177;0.04% Ash, 2.40&#177;0.14 pH, 40.70&#177;0.03% TSS, 0.012&#177;0.01 mg/100 g Vitamin-C, 170.04&#177;0.08 Kcal energy. Storage studies showed Carambola Jam and Squash can store almost without any change for 3 months. With increasing the time in 6 months of storage TSS and acidity increases, on the other hand moisture content, pH and vitamin-C decreases. Vitamin-C retention is higher at 25-34&#176;C.</Abstract>
