Blood fruit is a tropical liana bearing edible fruit rich in anthocyanins. The species is distributed in many
Asian countries, wherein it provides livelihood and nutritional security to native dwellers. However, in many
of these regions produce is harvested from the wild by employing destructive harvesting practices, thereby
damaging the natural stand. Systematic studies were initiated to popularize this species as a novel crop in
the humid tropical parts of the world. Present study aims at studying four collections (HV/NE/TRI, HV/MA/
KAL, HV/MA/SNU and HV/MA/SND) for morphological and biochemical traits. Results revealed considerable
variability for fruit and seed traits, total soluble solids and pH. Total anthocyanin content among the collections
varied between 183.63 and 328.28 mg CE/ 100 g pulp. Strong positive correlation was noticed between
fruit dimensions with fruit weight, while negative correlation was noticed between pulp content and peel
thickness. Ratio of material: solvent for obtaining better anthocyanins recovery was optimized to 1:15 (w/v).
Promising genotype (HV/MA/SND) with superior fruit size, TSS content and total anthocyanins content was
identified for further exploitation.
