Maximum pH was recorded in T6 – Manjari Medika (4.03) and highest titrable acidity was recorded in T5 – Gulabi X Bangalore Purple (0.71%). Reducing sugars were highest in T1 – H-516 (17.24%), whereas total sugars were maximum in T4 – Concord (28.56%). Juice recovery was recorded maximum in T6 – Manjari Medika (71.80 %).
