Abstract

This study examined the enzymatic activities in five selected fruit pulps viz. Aonla (NA-6 and NA-7), Bael (NB-5 & NB-9), Ber (Karaka and Umran), Jackfruit (NJ-2 & NJ-3) and Kaitha (K-1 and K-2). The present study further indicated that peroxidase, catalase, and cellulase activities in underutilized fruits. Germplasms NA-7, NB-9, Umran, K-2 and NJ-3 have found slightly higher than other respective germplasms.
