Biochemical traits, bitterness, fruit quality, rind thicknessAbstract
The present investigation was carried out to identify potential progenies based on physico-chemical attributes among the half sib progenies of pummelo. The fruit weight, fruit diameter, fruit length, and rind thickness were varied from 0.49-2.42 kg,9.96-20.54 cm,9.68-17.90 cm and 0.98-3.20 cm, respectively. Among the biochemical attributes, TSS, acidity, ascorbic acid and phenol content were ranged from 6.46 to 11.48ºB, 0.57-3.56 %, 20.40 to 63.30 mg100 ml-1and 32.20 to 181.44 mg 100ml-1 GAE, respectively. The progeny HS46-13 and HS48-12 were found to be superior in terms of economic traits among the evaluated half-sib population of pummelo.
