An experiment was conducted at the Research cum instruction farm Krantikari Debridhur College of Horticulture and Research Station, Jagdalpur, MGUVV, Durg, Chhattisgarh, India, during the year 2023-24 to study the chemical parameters of twenty-four mango (Mangifera indica L.) varieties. The results showed that the maximum total sugar (15.51%) and reducing sugar (4.51%) were found in Dasheri. In comparison, the maximum non-reducing sugar (11.92%) and ascorbic acid (43.13 mg/100 g) were found in Bombay Green and the maximum TSS was observed in Kesar (20.07 ⁰Brix) followed by Dasheri (19.08 ⁰Brix) and the highest acidity was found in variety Achari (0.74%).
