Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Studies on organoleptic evaluation in mango (Mangifera indica L.) germplasm” was carried out during the period 2022-23 at Mango Research Station, Nuzvid, Eluru District, Andhra Pradesh. In the present study, none of the genotypes recorded maximum peel colour and appearance score compared to the check Banaganapalle (9.65), which was maximum among the checks. Four genotypes viz., I-1 (9.71), C-13 (9.68), D-13 (9.63) and F-16 (9.61) recorded more pulp colour and appearance score than the check Banaganapalle (9.56) which was maximum among the checks. Among the genotypes evaluated, seven genotypes viz., G-28 (9.92), F-16 (9.85), B-9 (9.78), F-10 (9.76), H-32 (9.74), E-6 (9.72) and D-12 (9.65) recorded higher score for pulp texture than the best check Banaganapalle (9.64). Among the genotypes evaluated only one genotype viz., E-2 (9.47) recorded significantly highest score for pulp taste and flavour compared to the best check Chinnarasam (9.04). None of the genotypes recorded maximum score for overall acceptability of fruit compared to the check Banaganapalle (9.35), which was maximum among the checks.
