Abstract	In experiments conducted in the Research Laboratory of Palli Siksha Bhavana (Institute of Agriculture), Visva-Bharati during 2002 and 2003, it was revealed that the best packing material for storinggur during monsoon season was heat-sealed LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) packet of 150 gauge followed by glass jars. LDPE packets prevented moisture ingress, fall in pH and inversion of sucrose in the storedgur to the maximum extent. However, colour ofgur in LDPE packets was darker as compared togur stored in glass jars. PET (Poly Ethylene Terephthalate) jars were as good as glass jars but the storedgur darkened more in PET jars. Canisters were better in comparison to painted earthen pots provided those were with airtight lid.
