Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus L.) genotypes namely (HV-1, Swarna Halasu, Muttom Varikka, Lalbagh Madhura and HRS) was selected and processed into squash and later analyzed for microbial properties for a period of 3 months at different storage conditions (ambient and refrigerated). The study revealed that the squash stored under refrigerated temperature was free from microorganisms throughout the storage period (3 months) irrespective of genotypes studied, whereas, bacteria, yeast and mould were found after 60 days of storage period at ambient temperature indicating that the shelf-life and quality of squash was only about 45-60 days at ambient storage in all the genotypes studied respectively.
