A study was carried out on six litchi varieties, for their fruit characteristics, bio-chemical
composition and storage behaviour. The results showed significant difference among
varieties. The fruit weight ranged from 14.36-23.97 g, percent recovery of flesh 60.58 -
71.16, TSS 16.78-19.55% and total sugar 10.0-19.2%. Rottage loss was highest in Green
(81.86%) and the lowest in China-3 (37.03%). None of the varieties was found superior
in all respect. However, considering the important characteristics, the fruits of BARI
litchi-1 and China-3 were considered highly acceptable.
