| Summary: | Omani fruits were analyzed for their reducing sugar, total sugar contents and some minerals. Among the minerals studied were Ca, Mg, Na, K and P.

The amounts of the minerals differ from the reported literature values. This may be attributed to soil composition, climate and type of cultivar. |
