Keywords:	Diversity,  lapsi,  peel,  pulp,  quality
Abstract:	A study was conducted to assess the extent of fruit quality variations . in Choerospondias axillaries (Roxb) fruits in periurban areas of Kathmandu valley durmg November 2004 to March 2005. Laboratory analysis was undertaken to evaluate the fruit quality parameters at Horticulture Research Division, Khumaltar. Numbers of fruits per kg sample, fruit shape and size, fruit weight, pulp to seed and pulp to peel ratio were assessed. It was found that Nuwakot and Pharping lapsi have the largest fruit weight (14.4 & 14.1 gm respectively) and diameter (2.9 em). The smallest sized fruit was found from Godawari VDC-7. Fruits of Pharping had the highest peel and pulp weight but the maximum seed weight was found in fruits collected from Ramkot-3. It is concluded that there is variation in fruit quality characteristics in Lapsi. Research regarding identification from boarder areas should be undertaken and economically better lines should be selected using molecular technology for commercial farming to make economically viable agro processing industries in Nepal.
