Public ISBD [article]  inNepalese Horticulture > v. 8/9 [07/25/2012] . - 54-58 p. Title : Tree-aspects Based Variation in Physiochemical Components of Acid Lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) Fruits in Nepal. Material Type: printed text Authors: Shrestha, R.L., Author ; D. D. Dhakal, Author ; Gautam, D.M., Author ; Paudyal, K.P., Author ; Sangita Shrestha, Author Publication Date: 2012 Article on page: 54-58 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Ascorbic  acid,  agro-ecological  zone,  TSS,  TA,  juice. Abstract: The main objective of this study is, to determine the variation of fruit quality at different sides of the tree. Total of 15 bearing trees were selected randomly (5 trees per site) from three different agro ecological domain representing terai (<600masl), mid-hill (600 to 1200masl) and high-hill (>1200m asl) areas and samples were collected from the selected trees. Randomly ten fruits (from east, west, canopy-centre, north and south sides) were collected from each tree and analyzed for amount of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), TSS, TA and juice. The parameters varied significantly according to the agro ecological zones.
