Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Comparative biochemical profiling of fruits from thirty Banana (Musa spp.) genotypes” was conducted at Fruit Research Station (FRS), Gandevi, Navsari Agricultural University, during 2021-22. Fruit biochemical parameters were analyzed at the Department of Post-Harvest Technology, ASPEE College of Horticulture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. The fruit biochemical profiling revealed notable variations in key quality-related parameters, including Total Soluble Solids (TSS), sugar composition, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid concentration, total phenolic content, fruit firmness, and pH levels. Chandra Balae (AAA genome group) recorded the highest TSS (27.60°Brix), while Karpura Chakkakeli (AAB genome group) had the highest total sugar content (22.17%). The highest ascorbic acid content was found in Poovan (10.75 mg/100 g, AAB genome group), while Saba (ABB genome group) recorded highest fruit firmness (6.45). These biochemical traits are key indicators of fruit quality, influencing consumer preference, marketability, shelf life, and suitability for processing.
