Bael [Aegle marmelos (L.) Correa] is widely consumed for its therapeutic benefits having significant medicinal and nutritional properties. However, limited data exists regarding the compositional diversity among bael genotypes in the ranges of North Western Himalayan regions. This research focused on characterizing the quality attributes and sensory landscapes of selected bael genotypes. This study evaluates the physicochemical traits of eighty wild bael genotypes to identify promising candidature for selective breeding when compared with commercial cultivars (NB-5, NB-9). The wild genotype JMU-Bael (Sel-27) exhibited the highest TSS of mucilage (49.60 brix), TSS of pulp (36.77 brix), total sugars (21.17%), reducing sugars (9.58%), non-reducing sugars (11.59%) and ascorbic acid (25.45 mg/100 g). Principal component analysis (PCA) highlighted significant genetic diversity, with the first component accounting for 81.17% of the total variation. Cluster analysis grouped the genotypes into two main clusters, offering insights for breeding programs aimed at enhancing bael fruit quality.
印度枳椇[Aegle marmelos (L.) Correa]因其具有显著的药用和营养特性而被广泛食用。然而,关于喜马拉雅西北部地区范围内印度枳椇基因型之间的成分多样性的数据有限。本研究着重于对选定的印度枳椇基因型的品质属性和感官特征进行表征。本研究评估了80种野生印度枳椇基因型的理化特性,以便与商业品种(NB - 5、NB - 9)相比,确定用于选择性育种的有前景的候选品种。野生基因型JMU - 枳椇(Sel - 27)的黏液总可溶性固形物含量最高(49.60度),果肉总可溶性固形物含量为(36.77度),总糖含量为(21.17%),还原糖含量为(9.58%),非还原糖含量为(11.59%),抗坏血酸含量为(25.45毫克/100克)。主成分分析(PCA)突出了显著的遗传多样性,第一成分占总变异的81.17%。聚类分析将基因型分为两个主要聚类,为旨在提高印度枳椇果实品质的育种计划提供了见解。
