Fruits were bright yellow in colour, round and oval in shape with smooth to uneven surface. Fruit length was ranging from 4.15cm to 4.64 cm and fruit breadth between 3.99cm to 4.23cm. Fruit weight ranged between 37.73 to 48.05g. While fruit peel ranging from 7.66 to 10.01g. Flavedo weight ranged from 24.30g to 21.10g. The highest juice content was observed in Pule sharbatti (22.70g) and lowest in Vikram (14.20g). fruit volume range between 37.90ml to 48.50ml. Among all varieties Pule sharabatti had significantly maximum length, breadth, fruit weight, fruit volume, fruit peel, aldbedo, flavedo and juice content. Significantly higher ascorbic acid content was found in Vikram (39.68mg/100ml), total soluble solids were ranging between 7.24 to 7.96 ºbrix, high content was in Vikram and low in Pule sharabtti.
