Abstract
Maximum quantity of nut water was observed in six month old nuts. The sugar content of the nut water and kernel were maximum in eight month old nuts. Potassium was the predominant ion in nut water. With gradual decrease in acidity (free fatty acids) of nut water and sugar content of nut water and kernel, there was increase in oil content. The level of different constituents in nut water and kernel and their relative changes were similar in the different genotypes.
