Pumpkin is a nutritional source of valuable nutrients. Being rich source of carotenoids pumpkinbased food products can help in preventing various types of diseases. The present investigation was carried to enhance understanding regarding the nutraceutical molecules in fruit of eleven pumpkin genotypes. The study revealed that significant differences were observed for most of the traits. The moisture, flavanoids and zinc content was recorded higher in GP PK 29. Total soluble solids and vitamin C content was found maximum in GP PK 142. Total phenol, beta carotene and saponin content were higher in GP PK 67. The catalase enzyme activity was found higher in GP PK 132, while peroxidise and polyphenol oxidase enzyme activity were observed higher in GP PK 23. Therefore, increase in the production and consumption of these nutrient-rich indigenous pumpkin fruits will help to supplement the diets and alleviate the problems associated with malnutrition in the country.","PeriodicalId":39477,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Agricultural Biochemistry","volume":"33 1","pages":"76-80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71221672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The germplasm varied significantly in their proximate composition with moisture content ranging from 7.52–9.11%, crude protein from 7.23–9.53%, crude fat 1.97–3.62%, ash 1.83–2.93% and crude fibre from 3.71–4.78% on dry weight basis. Buckwheat flour contained 63.18–72.61% starch consisting of average 23.21% amylose. The resistant starch was found varying between 15.20–20.53%. Total soluble protein ranged from 4.58% to 7.40% with globulin as the major fraction (2.12–3.53%). The buckwheat germplasm contained high level of calcium (0.18%), phosphorus (0.26%) and potassium (0.26%). Total phenolic content was found between 378.41 to 652.71 mg/100g and flavonoids between 33.80 to 60.11 mg/100g on dry weight basis. The local genotypes were found comparable with the released genotypes in their nutrient composition and BWC-1, BWC- 2 and Kharupetia-2 along with buckwheat accessions EC-218742 and EC-27242 were found superior over others in terms of nutritional quality.","PeriodicalId":39477,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Agricultural Biochemistry","volume":"33 1","pages":"81-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71221747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
