 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was undertaken at the Experimental Farm, Department of Horticulture, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat during 2003-2004. The experiment was set in Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of three replications and eight treatments. The treatments comprised of T1: £500 g, T2: >500-1000 g, T3: >1000-1500 g, T4: >1500-2000 g, T5: >2000-2500 g, T6: >2500-3000 g, T7: >3000-3500 g and T8:>3500-4000 g.The results revealed that the quality parameters attributes were non significantly influenced by the treatments. It was evident that T4 showed highest weight pulp (73.41gm), non-reducing sugar (9.69%) and total sugar (13.13%), T5 highest peel weight (42.66gm), titrable acidity (0.23%), T1highest fruit moisture (74.17%) and reducing sugar (3.81%), T7 Highest pulp-peel ratio (1.79), T6 Total soluble solids(22.21%), T2 Sugar acid ratio (59.38).

Keywords: Sucker, Sugar, TSS, Moisture
