 ABSTRACT

An evaluation of physical, morphological and biochemical characters of twenty four varieties and six hybrids of mango were made under Kodur agro-climatic conditions.  It was observed that cv. Jehangir had the maximum fruit weight (671.67 g), length (14.01 cm), breadth (9.95 cm), volume (646.67 ml), pulp weight (460.30 g), peel weight (147.17 g) and stone weight (82.85 g). The maximum contribution of pulp per centage was recorded in cv. Royal special (79.09 %) whereas, on other hand maximum peel per centage was obtained from cv. Suvarnarekha (28.82 %). The highest stone per centage was noted in cv. Dilipasand (26.22 %). Fruits of hybrid Mallika recorded the highest values of TSS (24.77 0Brix), total sugar (15.80 %) and reducing sugars (6.83 %) contents. The maximum ascorbic acid content was found in cv. Royal special (62.86 mg/100g), while the titrable acids are highest in cv. Prodduturiavakai (1.47 %). Looking to the overall qualitative characters of the mango cultivars Jehangir, Royal special, Suvarnarekha, Dilipasand were found better in physical properties, whereas, Mallika, Royal special, Prodduturiavakai, Athimadhuram exhibited their superiority in chemical qualities.
