Abstract
The present study was undertaken, during 2017-2018, for the purpose of evaluation of six sapota varieties, namely, Cricket Ball, CO-1, CO-2, PKM-1, PKM-2 and PKM-3, with special reference to bio-chemical parameters of optimally matured fruits, at Gangetic Alluvial zone of West Bengal. The variations in gene configuration evolved significant differences with respect various bio-chemical attributes of sapota. Among the six genotypes of sapota studied in the present experiment, CO-3 proved to be the best with respect to TSS, total, reducing and non-reducing sugar, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid and total phenol contents of sapota fruit. CO-2 and PKM-3 also resulted in a preferred manner with respect to the contents of the same. So, the varieties namely, CO-3, CO-2 and PKM-3 may prove to be very much useful as parental materials, from fruit bio-chemical point of views, during future breeding programme related to improvement of quality of sapota.
