N2  - The study on "Nutritive value and organoleptic evaluation of 
Thamara venda (Abelmoschus caillei) genotypes" was an assessment 
of the chemical composition and acceptability of Thamara venda 
genotypes in comparison with the okra variety, Pusa Sawani, at 
three different maturity levels i.e. 5th, 8th and 11 th days after 
flowering. 
It has been found in the study that the twenty genotypes of A. 
caillei differed very much in their chemical composition. In the case 
of fat, iron, vitamin C and mucilage, the mean values of the control 
variety were lower than the lowest obtained for A. caillei genotypes. 
Pusa Sawani was found to have a lower disposition in the case of 
total carbohydrates, starch and calcium contents in comparison 
with the Thamara venda genotypes. The mean moisture,• protein 
and phosphorus contents of Pusa Sawani were found to be in 
comparison with those of Thamara vend a genotypes. But in crude 
fibre content, Pusa Sawani outweighed the Thamara vend a 
genotypes. Statistically, it had been found that there was no 
concordance between the different genotypes of A. caillei in the case 
of different chemicl constituents. 
The present study also implicated significant decreases in 
moisture, protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron and ascorbic acid 
contents of the pods as the days after flowering increased in both 
 
	
the Thamara venda genotypes and in Pusa Sawani. Total 
carbohydrate, starch, crude fibre and mucilage contents showed 
significant increases with increasing age in both the Thamara venda 
genotypes and in Pusa Sawani. 
Studies on the acceptability levels revealed that the Thamara 
vend a genotypes generally had higher acceptability than Pusa 
Sawani. The acceptability was also found to decrease as the pods 
increased in maturity.
