An investigation was carried out at the Experimental Farm, Division of Fruit crops, ICAR-IIHR, Bengaluru to study the variability in physico-chemical characteristics of selected genotypes of Jamun fruits. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications. Result revealed that all the genotypes showed considerable variability with respect to the physico-chemical characters. The genotypes Konkan Bahadali recorded maximum fruit weight (11.52 g), fruit length (3.30 cm), fruit diameter (2.36 cm) and pulp weight (9.48 g) and Collection-10 with highest anthocyanin content (178.83 mg/100g) were found promising. The genotypes Kaveri Pattnam-4 having maximum pulp percentage (99.21%), lowest seed percentage (0.79%) and lowest seed weight (0.02 g) could be used as seedless jamun.
