دراسة الصفات الفيزيوكيميائية لثمار بعض أصناف المانجو المزروعة في الجمهورية اليمنية و تحديد مدى ملاءمتها للحفظ

Abstract EN

The goal of this study was to recognize the suitability of the mango fruits of some locally cultivated varieties for preservation.

Therefore, physical and chemical analyses of five local varieties (Totapuri, Bullock’s Heart, Bombai, Zubdah, and Ketchner) have been conducted.

It has been found that there were significant differences in some of the physical characteristics (fruits weight, skin ratio, seeds, fibers, and pulp) among these varieties.

However, there were significant differences in some of the chemical characteristics (total acidity, pH, vitamin C, protein, lipid, reducing and non-reducing sugar, fibers, ash, phosphor, and sodium) among these varieties, while there were no significant differences in some other chemical characteristics such as moisture, total soluble solids, carotene and calcium of the same varieties.

Results have also shown that Bullock’s Heart, Bombay, and Totapuri varieties are the most appropriate for preservation due to their high pulp content as compared to that of the other studied varieties.
