Abstract:
Six commercially grown Mango cultivars (i.e. Himsagar, Kishanbhog, Langra, Amrapali and Lakshmanbhog), in Malda district of West Bengal, India were evaluated for their suitability for squash preparation, storability of the end product. During storage the TSS, reducing sugar and total sugar of squash increased to a detectable extent, while acidity and ascorbic acid content decreased gradually. Overall assessment of quality revealed that with respect to conjugal study of all these parameters squash prepared from the variety Langra proved considerably superior over other varieties with maximum Overall acceptability score of (7.63).
