Nutritional value of fruit crops in different agro-climatic zones

Abstract

The nutritional value of fruit crops varies significantly across different agro-climatic zones due to variations in environmental conditions such as temperature, altitude, and soil type. This study evaluates the nutritional content of selected fruit crops from three distinct agro-climatic zones in India: the tropical zone of Kerala, the subtropical zone of Himachal Pradesh, and the temperate zone of Jammu & Kashmir. The analysis focuses on key nutritional parameters, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant activity, to determine how environmental factors influence the nutritional profile of fruit crops.
