Abstract

An evaluation of physical, morphological and biochemical traits of twelve varieties of mango were made at Ranipet District and Agricultural College and Research Institute, Vazhavachanur, Tiruvannamalai District. It was observed that cv. Imampasad had the maximum fruit weight (667.33 g), pulp weight (466.67 g), stone weight (130g) and peel weight (68.67 g), cv. Raasal had the maximum fruit length (23.43 cm) and fruit width (16.33cm). The maximum contribution of pulp percentage was recorded in cv. Alphonso (75.46 %) whereas, on other hand maximum peel percentage was obtained from cv. kalepad (11.67 %). The highest stone percentage was noted in cv. Mandanapalli (24.02 %). Fruits of Banganapalli recorded the highest values of total sugar (16.16 %) and Alphonso recorded the highest values of reducing sugars (5.6 %) contents. Alphonso also recorded the highest protein content (895mg/100g pulp). The maximum ascorbic acid content was found in cv. Banganapalli (48 mg/100g), while the titrable acids are highest in cv. Desi type (0.60 %). Sendura recorded the highest Beta-carotene content (1430µg/100g pulp) and Total phenol content (18mg/100g pulp). Highest calcium content (16mg/100gpulp) was recorded in Raspuri. In general, we can find variations in biochemical parameters among the different fruits and their varieties. These variations have not been studied and mentioned clearly in the available literatures. Biochemical information’s are scanty in the varieties like Desi type, Imampasand, Raspuri and kalepad. The research work is seems to be first time for the varieties like Benisha, Raasal and Mandanapalli, Thus, need arises to design the experimental research to screen the top three among the tested varieties. Overall view reveals that Imampasad, Raasal and Alphonso were found better in physical properties where as Banganapalli, sendura and Alphonso recorded their superior biochemical qualities.

Conclusion

Fruit consumption has to be encouraged. Fruits should have 20% contribution in overall food consumption. A person should consume at least 20 different fruits per year to get the beneficial of all bioactive compounds. Importance may be given for Mango cultivation and Mango fruit consumption. Mango is the symbol of prosperity and happiness. The results rated the top three mango varieties suitable for Ranipet district farmers, sellers and consumers. The results revealed about the top three mango varieties Alphonsa, Sendura and Banganapalli which are commercially and rarely cultivated in Ranipet district based on the physical and Biochemical parameters.
