The experiment was carried out with the objective to study and compare the quality characteristics of nendran cultivated by organic and conventional farming techniques. Parameters selected for the study were physical characteristics, sensory qualities, chemical and nutrient composition, anti nutrient profile and pesticide residue. With respect to physical characteristics appearance and total number of hands per bunch were on par among the treatments. Number of fruits per hand and peel thickness were significantly higher in organically cultivated nendran. With respect to sensory qualities, organically cultivated nendran showed significantly higher difference in texture and taste. Storage studies revealed uniform life period for nendran in both treatments. Among the treatments vitamin C, total soluble solids and total mineral content were significantly higher in organically cultivated nendran. Organic nendran recorded higher value for tannin while conventionally cultivated nendran showed higher phenol content. However pesticide residue analysis showed nil results in both treatments.Keywords
