    Nutritive value and organoleptic evaluation of thamara venda genotypes (Abelmoschus caillel L.)
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 2000) Sona Thampi, K; Indira, V
    Nutritive value and organoleptic qualities of 20 genotypes of thamara venda were studied and compared with Pusa Sawani, the commonly cultivated variety. The mean values of fat, calcium, iron and vitamin C were found to be higher in Abelmoschus caillei genotypes than in Pusa Sawani. The mean moisture and protein contents of thamara venda genotypes were comparable with those of Pusa Sawani. Though the crude fibre content of the thamara venda genotypes was lower, the mucilage content was higher than the control variety. Thamara venda genotypes were found to have higher acceptability than Pusa Sawani.
