Biochemical studies in bael (Aegle marmelos Correa.) gene pool of Kymore plateau and Satpura hill region

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out during 2011-2013 at Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, JNKVV, and Jabalpur (M.P.). The experimental material was comprised of twenty genotypes of the bael to assess the chemical characteristics of fruits for finding out superior genotypes in quality. Significantly highest 44.00 Brix total soluble solid were recorded in the genotype JAM-15, lowest 0.130% acidity was noted in genotype JAM-15. The maximum reducing sugar (7.77%) was recorded in the genotype JAM-9 and maximum non-reducing sugar (4.60%) and total sugar (11.97%) was recorded in the genotype JAM-7.
