Determination of physiochemical characteristics and antioxidant properties of selected climacteric and Non – climacteric fruits

Fruits being fundamental nutritious sources in the human diet due to their high nutrient content and antioxidant capacity, can be classified as climacteric non- fruits based on ability ripen after harvesting, where which plucked are known those cannot harvest non– fruits. The study was carried out analyze properties of selected non-climacteric were taken from four different colors: red, yellow, purple, green. chosen under category Red lady papaya (Carica papaya), Mango (Mangifera indica), Madan/ Jamun (Syzigium cumini) Ceylon olive/ Veralu (Elaeocarpus serratus) while non - Watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris), Pineapple (Ananus sativus), Grapes (Vitis vinifera) Indian Gooseberry/ Nelli (Phyllanthus emblica).
