Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Studies on harvesting stage of tender Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus L.) on its quality as vegetable.” was conducted at the Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri during the year 2020-2021. The experiments under study were carried out in Randomized Block Design with seven treatments and three replications. The titratable acidity decreases with maturity from T₁ (0.42%) to T₇ (0.29%) similar, declined trend was also observed in ascorbic acid ranging from T₁ (9.43mg/100g) to T₇ (7.33mg/100g). Maximum protein content was recorded in treatment T₄ (2.92%). Highest crude fibre content (3.90%) and carbohydrate (7.56%) were recorded in treatment T₇. On the basis of organoleptic evaluation the treatment T₃ recorded maximum score for colour (8.43) and texture (8.33) whereas, treatment T₄ recorded maximum score for flavour (8.34) and maximum average score (8.34) was recorded by treatment T_3.
