ABSTRACT
Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) is important spice crop grown and exported from India. It is valued for its aroma, pungency and medicinal value. Essential oil, oleoresin and fibre content contribute to its quality. The wide number of local varieties available in the country provides opportunity to find the best performing one. The field experiment was taken up to evaluate the ginger genotypes for its quality at the Department of Plantation, Spices, Medicinal and Aromatic Crops, Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi, Karnataka during 2015-2016. There was significant variation for quality among genotypes. The essential oil content ranged between 1.32 % to 2.25 %, Oleoresin content varied from 3.69 % to 7.35 % and fibre content found to be varying between 3.34 % to 5.72 %.
Keywords: Ginger genotypes, Essential oil, Oleoresin, Fibre content.
