- Abstract
An experiment was carried out at Research laboratory, Department of Horticulture, North Eastern Hill University Meghalaya, India to study Bio-chemical characters of Bottle gourd germplasms for 30 bottle gourd genotypes. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with three replications. The collected accessions exhibited a wide range of variability in their chemical composition. The characters studied were TSS (-Brix), Total Sugar(%), Reducing Sugar (%), Ascorbic acid (mg/100g), Total soluble Protein (%), Total Carbohydrate (%), Moisture (%), Dry matter (%), Total ash (%), Total phenols (%), Calcium (mg/100g) and Crude Fibre (%). A wide range of variation was recorded for all the characters under study which indicates that there is better possibility for selection for the improvement of these characters.
