Comparative Assessment of Physico-Chemical Characteristics among Different Peach Cultivars under Mid Hill Conditions of UttarakhandAn experiment was conducted in Nainital district of Uttarakhand for evaluation of physico-chemical characteristics in different peach cultivars. The physical characteristics of fruits were found superior in Red June and Paradelux. The highest T.S.S. was recorded in Flordasun (12.17 °B), while lowest in Red Nectarine (8.77 °B). The maximum acidity was recorded in Asariya (1.21%), while minimum in Sharbati (0.49%). The highest ascorbic acid content was recorded in Red June (12.92 mg/100 g), while lowest in Paradelux (5.42 mg/100 g). Total sugars (4.16%) and reducing sugars (3.03%) were recorded highest in Flordasun, while lowest total sugars (2.65%) and reducing sugars (1.85%) were recorded in Paradelux. The maximum carotene content was recorded in Golden Monarch (584.98 µg/100 g), while minimum in Flordaking (101.82 µg/100 g). The highest total anti-oxidant activity was recorded in Red June (34.63 mMTE/L), while lowest in Paradelux (20.87 mMTE/L). The most of the chemical characteristics of fruits were found superior in Red June and Flordasun as compared to other peach cultivars.Not Availabl
