Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) is a deciduous stone fruit grown in the temperate climate. India is not a
leading producer country, but produces an appreciable quantity of apricot. The country fosters 84
genotypes including 15 commercially important genotypes. However, a large part of the fruit is wasted
because of various reasons viz. unorganized market, lack of post-harvest technologies and unpredictable
demand-supply. The present review comprises characteristics of the fruit, kernel and extracted oil with
their aspects for value addition, packaging, storage, marketing aspects and future prospects. It also covers
major growing areas of the country, botanical description, ecology, maturity, ripeness, physiology and
promising cultivars of the region. Physical, chemical and functional characteristics of the fruit are
reviewed. Value addition deals mainly with the products viz. dehydrated apricot, chutney, instant chutney
powder and frozen fruit besides canned fruit, nectar, pulp juice, jam, infant drinks etc. It has widened to
different methods and analysis of drying along with the need of engineering intervention in post harvest.
