This study emphasis on the physico-chemical properties of a new ber variety (Apple ber) originated in Thailand and slowly emerging in many parts of the world. The analysis is done under two different conditions the one being controlled and second one is blanched. The analysis revealed that the controlled condition is superior in physico-chemical properties than the blanched one. Also, proximate analysis was carried out on the fruit and its powdered form. In this analysis also controlled condition parameters were ahead of blanched. New products were developed with the Apple ber powder.

“…There are about 20 Ziziphus species in India (Awasthi & More, ) and 14 Ziziphus species in China (Liu & Zhao, ). Among them, two species, Z. mauritiana (Indian jujube or Indian ber), a more tropical and evergreen species in Section Perdurans and Z. jujuba (Chinese jujube or Chinese date), a more cold‐hardy and deciduous species in Section Ziziphus, are multipurpose trees cultivated extensively as horticultural crops for fruits (Azam‐Ali et al ., ; Pareek & Yahia, ). There are more than 170 Z. mauritiana cultivars in India (Azam‐Ali et al ., ) and over 750 Z. jujuba cultivars in China (Liu & Zhao, ), which vary widely in the habit of the tree, leaf shape, fruit form, size, colour, flavour, keeping quality and fruiting season.…”

Biological control of Ziziphus mauritiana (Rhamnaceae): feasibility, prospective agents and research gaps

The tropical fruit tree, Ziziphus mauritiana (Rhamnaceae), a native of the Indian subcontinent, is a pasture and environmental weed in northern Australia and Fiji. In their native range, Ziziphus spp., including commercially cultivated Z. mauritiana and Z. jujuba, are subjected to a wide range of pests and diseases. The feasibility of classical biological control of this weed has not been explored to date. Effective biological control could reduce plant vigour and seed output, thereby limiting the spread of Z. mauritiana in Australia. Two Ziziphus species are native to Australia, hence, any prospective biological control agent should be specific to Z. mauritiana. Opportunistic field surveys and literature searches identified 133 species of phytophagous insects, 9 species of phytophagous mites and 12 plant pathogens on Ziziphus spp. Host records suggest the following are possibly specific to Z. mauritiana and hence are prospective biological control agents in Australia: the seed-feeding weevil Aubeus himalayanus; the leaf-feeding gracillariid moth Phyllonorycter iochrysis; the leaf-mining chrysomelid beetle Platypria erinaceus; the leaf-folding crambid moth Synclera univocalis; the leaf-galling midge Phyllodiplosis jujubae; and the gall-mites Aceria cernuus and Larvacarus transitans. Host range of the rust Phakopsora zizyphi-vulgaris includes many Ziziphus species, including the native Z. oenoplia and hence would not be a suitable biological control agent in Australia. The powdery mildew Pseudoidium ziziphi, with a host range restricted to Ziziphus species, has not been reported on Z. oenoplia. All available information on the pests and diseases of Z. mauritiana are from cultivated varieties. Hence, future surveys should focus on wild Z. mauritiana in the Indian subcontinent in areas that are climatically similar to the regions of northern Australia, where it is currently most abundant.

“…'Gola' ber contains 20.10 per cent TSS, 0.34 per cent acidity, 160.56 mg 100 g -1 ascorbic acid and 6.97 per cent total sugars (Pareek et al, 2002). Extensive studies have been carried out to prepare various processed products from ber fruit such as candy, preserve, dehydrated products including osmo-dehydrated products, jam, jelly, juice, squash and pickle (Pareek and Yahia, 2013). The previous study carried out in this laboratory on storage temperatures of 'Gola' ber fruit showed that shelf life can be increased at lower temperatures of 6 0 C, but chilling injury (CI) limits the quality of fruit (Jat et al, 2013).…”
