Abstract:
The study was conducted to determined physico-chemical properties and study of mass modelling of Nagpur mandarin fruit. Fruit size in terms of length, width thickness, sphericity and shape of fruit were determined. The average surface area, projected surface area, actual volume, elliptical volume and oblate spheroid volume of fruit were found to be 147.35 cm², 94.83 cm2, 155.70 cm³, 168.55 cm³ and 171.36 cm³, respectively. In first and second classifications, the Nagpur Mandarin mass and volume modeling based on the larger dimension are the most appropriate. The chemical properties i.e. Ph, TSS, acidity, ascorbic acid, total sugar, reducing and non reducing sugar of Nagpur mandarin fruit juice has been reported to be 2.52, 10.82 ^oB, 0.62%, 42.59 mg100g^-1, 7.53%, 3.03% and 4.50%, respectively.
