Assessment of Quality Parameters and Bio-Chemical Parameters of Roasting Type Brinjal Hybrids (Solanum Melongena L.)

The present investigation entitled, "Assessment of Quality Parameter and Bio-chemical Parameters of Roasting type Brinjal Hybrids (Solanum melongena L.)" was carried out at AICRP on Vegetable Crops, Department of Horticulture, MPKV, Rahuri during kharif 2020.The experiment was laid out in the RBD with three replications.The experiment was comprised of seven hybrids and three checks.Among all the treatments dark purple colour of fruit was observed in hybrids RBH-1, RBH-2, RBH-7, check Phule Harit, Gallon and Bartok as commercial check.Purple colour observed in RBH-3.Light purple colour observed in RBH-4, RBH-5, RBH-6, green with white stripes at end observed in check Phule Harit.All treatments recorded oblong fruit shape.Treatment RBH-1 (T 1 ), RBH-2 (T 2 ), RBH-3-(T 3 ), RBH-7 (T 7 ), check Phule Harit, Gallon and Bartok as commercial check recorded less seed content, medium seed content recorded in RBH-4, RBH-6 recorded medium seed content.High seed content recorded in RBH-5.The treatment Gallon (T 9 ) recorded maximum TSS (6.41°Brix).Maximum moisture (92.37%) recorded in treatment RBH-2 (T 2 ).Maximum total sugars (4.14%), reducing sugars (2.90%) and non-reducing sugars (1.24%) recorded in Gallon (T 9 ).Maximum dry matter (12.30%) recorded in treatment RBH-5 (T 5 ).
