Abstract: The present investigation was conducted during the year of 2016 and 2017 to determine the Physico-chemical Characterization in mango. Fruits of sixteen mango cultivars were collected from Regional Research Station, Gayeshpur, Nadia, West Bengal, India. Both physico-chemical parameters were assessed at optimum ripening condition of fruits. Among the cultivars, the fruits of Fazli, Sarikhas and Gopi Bhog were superior to others with regard to fruit length, diameter and weight. The pulp content was highest in cv. Banganpalli and was lowest in Madhu Chuski. The maximum percent of total soluble solids was in cv. Ranipasand of 20.87 oBrix and minimum of 14.79 oBrix in cv. Lakhan Bhog. The total sugars, reducing sugar as well as non-reducing sugar content was maximum in cultivars Kanchan Kosa, Khota Lagga and Kancha Mitha respectively. The acidity of fruits varied from 0.06-0.17 %. The highest content of ascorbic acid was recorded in cv. Gopi Bhog (68.36 mg/100g). The highest TSS: Acid ratio was recorded in the mango cv. Himsagar (191.12).
