- The change in starch, total phenolic contents (TPC) and reducing (RS) and total reducing sugars (TRS) contents were investigated in two starch-containing fruits, namely jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) and West Indian locust (Hymenaea courbaril) at unripe and ripe stages. Results showed that starch content increased in jackfruit but decreased in West Indian locust from unripe to ripe stage. In jackfruit, both RS and TRS increased while in West Indian locust RS decreased but TRS did not vary significantly. On the other hand, results showed that TPC increased significantly in ripe jackfruit, while West Indian locust TPC decreased in ripe fruit. Conclusively, results demonstrated that these two fruits seem having different ripening biochemistry. Starch; Sugars; Phenolics; Artocarpus heterophyllus; Hymenaea courbaril
