M. Abdul Hoque
Horticulture Division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur, Gazipur

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Characteristics of 8 citrus varieties under 4 commercially Important groups representing 4 species were studied. Pummelo fruits were largest having thick rind while the lime fruits were smallest with very thin rind. Maximum juice and highest brlx were also found In pummelo. Maximum acid was obtained In lime and lemon varieties (5.3 to 6.2%) while in pummelo and satsuma mandarin the acid content varied from 0.9 to 1.1%.

Keywords: Citrus, Physico-chemical charncters, Fruits

Location: Horticulture Division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur

Start Date: 01-01-1984

End Date: 31-12-1984

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Fruit

Objectives:

To record the physico-chemical characters of fruits of different citrus species that were grown after collecting from home and abroad.

Methodology:

Therefore, this study was undertaken at BART, Joydebpur in 1984 to record the physico-chemical characters of fruits of different citrus species that were grown after collecting from home and abroad. Miho Wase & Okitsu Wase (mandarin group); Anseikan & Tosa Buntan (pummelo group); Kagzi & Kagza (lime group); and Lisbon & Seedless lemon (lemon group) were the varieties included in this study. Three 6 years old plants were selected from each of the aforesaid varieties for this experiment. Five randomly selected fruits from each plant were taken and analysed in the laboratory. Dat.a on fruit size, shape, rind thickness, juice content, brix reading (%) and total acid (%) were recorded. Brix reading was taken by a hand refractometer.
