Jamun nectar and RTS prepared from alternative sweeteners were evaluated through microbial counts and economical analysis. The experimental material consisted of 15 treatments of alternative sweeteners and one treatment of 100% sugar combination each for nectar and RTS. The treatments were replicated three times in Completely Randomized Design (CRD). In the experiment alternative sweeteners like Erythrtol, Stevia and Equal were used for the preparation jamun nectar and RTS beverages. The minimum population density was observed in 100% Stevia (T5) and the increase in microbial growth was within the permissible level. Application of heat during processing irrespective of holding time reduced the microbial load. The highest net return and benefit: cost ratio was recorded in the treatment of 100% Erythritol (T1) while, both was recorded lowest under the treatment 100% Sugar (T0) respectively.
