Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences, 1999, 2(3), 894-896.
Abstract
Fruits of five cultivars viz; Purbi, Bedana, Bombai, Serai and Gola were picked from exposed and unexposed portions of the trees. The results indicated that exposed fruits were less acidic, rich in vitamin C, total sugars and reducing sugars as well as soluble solids. The unexposed fruits were found heavier in weight, stone, peel and pulp along with more total acidity and non-reducing sugars. Therefore, it might be suggested that exposed fruits should be preferred while picking.
