Abstract: The present investigation was conducted at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut to find out the promising cultivars of pomegranate on the basis of biochemical perameters. The maximum level of TSS was measured in cv. Ganesh (14.710brix) followed by cv. Arakta (13.840brix) and cv. G-137 (12.710brix). Out of the eight cultivars studied, significantly maximum level of total sugars was found in cv. Arakta (12.98 %) followed by cv. Mridula (12.36 %) and cv. Ganesh (12.33 %). The level of titrable acidity was found to be significantly lowest in cv. Jalore Seedless (0.30 %) followed by cv. Mridula (0.31). In the present study, maximum TSS:Acid ratio was observed in cv. Ganesh (45.96) followed by cv. G-137 (41.00) and cv. Jalore Seedless (40.73). Maximum Sugar:Acid ratio was found in cv. Mridula (39.87) closely followed by cvs. Jalore Seedless (39.40), Ganesh (38.53) and Arakta (38.17).
