Abstract: An experiment was carried out at Department of Horticulture, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during kharif 2017. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of various concentrations of Ethrel (500 mg/l, 750 mg/l, 1000 mg/l and 1250 mg/l) on biochemical aspects such as TSS (°Brix), acidity (%), total sugars (%), reducing sugar (%), non-reducing sugar (%), ascorbic acid content (mg/100g) and total carotenoids (mg/100g). The observations were recorded at 2, 4, 6 and 8 days after storage. From the experiment it was clear that the Overall performance of the above characteristics was found the best when the fruits were treated with 1000 mg/l ethrel followed by 750 mg/l ethrel.
