Abstract: The objective of this study was to characterize the chemical composition of fruit pulp of the six widely known Annona species and also three Annona atemoya varieties. The trees maintained at the field gene bank, ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Hesaraghatta Lake Post, Bengaluru served as the experimental material. The biochemical analysis of Annona species and Annona atemoya varieties revealed the range of TSS (12.74 to 28.690 B and 29.31 to 27.650 B), acidity of pulp (0.13 to 0.43% and 0.243 to 0.265), TSS: Acidity ratio in accession 3/2 (29.60 to 130.92 and 104.64 to 118.11), ascorbic acid content (16.22 to 25.31 and 21.31 to 21.53), total sugars (10.95 to 23.54 and 23.42 to 23.99 g/100g), reducing sugars (8.13 to 19.89 and 20.12 to 20.51 g/100g) and non-reducing sugars content (2.90 to 3.83 and 3.11 to 3.48 g/100g). The total phenol content ranged between (73.06 to 125.74 and 80.72 to 85.17 mg GAE/100g), total flavonoid (20.43 to 26.89 and 20.84 to 29.03 mg Catechin equivalent/100g) and antioxidant capacity (81.14 to 125.25 and 91.82 to 95.72 mg AEAC/100g) in Annona species and Annona atemoya varieties respectively.
