properties of Assam lemon at different stages of fruit growth and development. The present study
significantly showed that fruits harvested at 120 to 130 days after fruit set developed acceptable physico-chemical
qualities with optimum fruit weight (109.28 to 112.95 g), fruit size (Length= ≥ 81.05mm, Breadth= ≥50.13mm),
specific gravity (0.97 to 1.01), juice content (37.68 to 41.23 %), TSS (≥6.3 °Brix), titratable acidity (4.18 to
4.35%), ascorbic acid (≥32.41 mg/100g), TSS: acidity (≥1.51) and these may be considered as the most reliable maturity indices for taking harvest decision in Assam lemon fruit.Not Availabl
