Physico-chemical characterization of Jamun (Syzygium cumini Skeels) seedling genotypes

Abstract

Jamun seedling genotypes were evaluated to study the naturally existing variations. The genotypes were classified in to early, mid and late season genotypes and their bearing potential wise grouped in to heavy, average and poor bearers. Further, fruits of all the genotypes subjected for physic-chemical characterization. There exists lot of variations for physical parameters like fruit length, diameter and weight, seed length, diameter and weight, pulp weight, pulp to seed ratio, per cent pulp and per cent seed and also for chemical characteristics like pH, titrable acidity, vitamin C, reducing and non-reducing sugars, total sugars, total protein and phenol content of jamun fruits.
