Two cultivars of papaya fruits i.e. seeded and seedless were analyzed for their phsico- chemical and nutritional constituents The parameters studied were weight, length, colour, peel percentage, proximate composition, sugars, pH, acidity energy value and vitamin C content. Results of study revealed the cultivar differences were there in the physico –chemical and nutritional constituents of papaya fruit cultivars. The physical characterstics viz; length, weight, diameter, and peel percentage was higher in the seeded variety. Whereas, edible portion, crude protein. ash, crude fat and crude fiber, TSS, acidity, energy, b carotene, total sugars and ascorbic acid were higher in the seedless papaya except moisture which was in higher amount in seeded cultivar of papaya . High amounts of the edible portion, low content of peel and seeds indicates enormous potential of seedless papaya fruit for the commercial exploitation.
