Abstract

The macro- and micro-nutrients of locally produced pineapples namely Giant Kew and Honey Queen were compared. The Giant Kew variety contained 6 g% of TSS, 3.88 g% of total sugar and 1.75 g% of non reducing sugar. On the contrary, the Honey Queen variety contained 10 g% of TSS, 4.84 g% of total sugar and 1.59 g% of non reducing sugar. The comparative study indicates that the Honey Queen variety is superior in nutritional content as well as sweetness than the Giant Kew variety of pineapple.
