Abstract

A study on biochemical changes of fruits of lasora (Cordia dechotoma Forst F’) was conducted to standardise maturity indices for pickle making under Haryana conditions. Maximum TSS and TSS/acid ratio was obtained on the date of ripening,i.e., 1–2 June in large fruited and 11–12 June in small fruited,respectively. In case of large fruited type, acidity was found to be minimum on 2 June 2007 and 29 May 2008. In small fruited type, acidity was found to be minimum 5–6 June, respectively. Maximum ascorbic acid content of fruits were observed on 2–1 June in large fruited and on 11-9 June in small fruited, respectively. The total sugars were not detectable till 11–12 May in large fruited and 24–25 May in small fruited. However, maximum total sugars were noticed on 2 June 2007 and 29 May 2008 in large fruited. In case of small fruited type, it was maximum on 14–12 June, respectively.
