The heaviest fruits were Kalia (214.8 g). Deori and Sultan Pasand; varieties containing highest proportion of pulp were Narikeli (75.9%) Lata (74.8%), Bombay (71.8%) and Sultan Pasand (71.6%), and sugar content were highest in Deori (20.7%), Kalia and Rani Pasand which held top most position in sweetness and lusciousness.
