Wood apple (Limonia acidissima L.) is belonging to the Rutaceae family. Wood apple pulp rich source of Beta carotene, a precursor of vitamin-A. The study was conducted to analysis of physico-chemical properties of wood apple. Proximate composition of wood apple fresh pulp moisture content (79.26 to 79.58 %), protein (8.31 to 8.35 %), fat (1 to 2.010%), ash (0.986 to 1.82 %), total soluble solids (17.60 to 17.80%), total sugar (6.41 to 6.43%), reducing sugar (5.2 to 5.6 %), ascorbic acid (5.12 to 5.121%), acidity (4.5 to 4.7%) respectively.
