The experiment was conducted with four mango cultivars i.e. Dasherhari, Langra, S.B. Chausa and Amrapali in Fruit Technology Laboratory of the Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to assess the storage of nectar at room temperature prepared from fresh mango pulp. The maximum TSS (21.5%) was recorded in nectar prepared from cultivar S.B. Chausa and Acidity (0.294%) in Langra and Amrapali. TSS content of nectar increased significantly from 20% on 0 day to 22.4% on 180 days of storage, irrespective of cultivar. Acidity content of nectar decreased significantly from 0.300% on 0 day to 0.284% on 180 days of storage, irrespective of cultivar. Total and reducing sugar content of nectar was increased with increase in storage period. Ascorbic acid and total carotenoid content decreased with increase in storage period. Maximum ascorbic acid (18.87 mg/100 ml) and minimum (8.83 mg/100 ml) was found in nectar prepared from Langra and Dashehari, respectively, irrespective of storage period. Maximum (3.27 mg/100 ml) and minimum (1.77 mg/100 ml) of carotenoid content was recorded in nectar prepared from Amrapali and S.B. Chausa, respectively, irrespective of storage period. Among the different cultivars, minimum organoleptic rating (6.1) in nectar prepared from Langra and maximum score (7.2) was observed in nectar prepared from Amrapali and Dashehari.
