Abstract
Physico-chemical characters of cashew apples of sixteen high yielding types were studied during the period 1977–78 with a view to identifying types producing superior quality apples.
The type K 10–2 ranked first in respect of the mean weight, length, diameter, length/diameter ratio and juice content of apples.
In type M 6/1 the highest percentage of TSS, specific gravity and sugar content were recorded, K 27–1 was superior in ascorbic acid content.
Lowest tannin content was found in BLA-40 and the highest protein in M 10/4. Vengurla 37–3 stood first in ether extractives and BLA-273 in crude fibre content.
Apples of BLA-1 and Ansur 1–27 had the highest carbohydrate.
Considerable variation existed between the seedling progenies of the same type with respect to almost all characters studied.
