Biochemical profiling of diverse genotypes of Bael (Aegle marmelos Correa)

Abstract

An experiment on biochemical profiling of diverse genotypes of Bael (Aegle marmelos Correa.) were conducted at Department of Horticulture, GBPUAT, Pantnagar 2016-17. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design in which treatments consist of 18 diverse genotype of Bael and three replications. The biochemical attributes ascorbic acid, pectin content and total soluble solid content were examined in March harvested unripe fruit of different genotypes of Bael. The maximum ascorbic acid content was observed from Pant Bael-3 and Pant Bael-1. However, the minimum ascorbic acid content was obtained from Bael genotype Haldi Nurmohamd -2. The maximum TSS was obtained from Pant Bael -15 followed by Pant Bael -2 and Pant Bael -1. However, the minimum TSS was obtained from Faizabad No.9.
