Question

Which of the following fruit have highest TSS?

• A. Bael
• B. Mango
• C. Grapes
• D. Sapota

Hint:

TSS (Total Soluble Solids, measured in °Brix) indicates sugar content.
Bael: Can have exceptionally high TSS (e.g., 28-35°Brix or more).
Sapota: Very sweet (e.g., 20-25°Brix).
Grapes: Sweet (e.g., 16-25°Brix).
Mango: Sweet (e.g., 14-22°Brix). Bael is known for its very high sugar concentration when fully ripe.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Mango, grapes and sapota typically range between 14 and 25 degrees Brix TSS.
Step 2: Ripe Bael pulp regularly reaches 28-35 degrees Brix, well above the others.
Step 3: Higher Brix means higher total soluble solids (sugar content).
Step 4: Correct answer: Bael.
