These studies were conducted at Biochemistry Section AARI, Faisalabadduring 1999 and 2000. Eight mango Mangifera indica L. varieties viz.; Malda,Langra, Dosehri, Sindhri, Anwar Retaul, Chaunsa, Fajri and Desi were testedfor their physico-chemical characteristics. Fajri surpassed in fruit weightfollowed by Sindhri and Langra. Maximum pulp (80%) was observed in Langra.Dosehri and Anwar Retaul had higher TSS. Total sugars, reducing and non-reducing sugars of these varieties significantly differed from one another andwere not affected by the years. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) content was higherin Langra. TSS/acidity and sugar/ acidity ratios were more in Anwar Retauland Fajri followed by Chaunsa and Dosehri. Desi mango gave poor quality fruitdue to low TSS, sugars, high acidity and low ratios of TSS/acidity andsugar/acidity.
