Abstract

Avocado is a horticultural commodity rich in unsaturated fatty acids, fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Local avocado varieties have the potential to be developed as table fruits that can be eaten fresh, so it is necessary to identify the nutritional content and the panelist’s level of preference. This study aimed to compare the nutritional and sensory content of three local avocado varieties. The results showed that the three local varieties has high fat, protein and fiber content, indicating their potential for wider development, supported by panelists’ acceptance. Avocado A (Penjol variety), B (Pamtasa variety) and C (Kukusan variety) exhibited unique nutritional and sensory advantages. Kukusan variety had higher fat (7.84%), crude fiber (8.87%) and the lowest water content (70.46%). While Penjol and Pamtasa varieties had higher protein content (2.64-3.33%), total sugar (3.62%) and vitamin C (1.45%). In addition, it was also supported by organoleptic test results that are close to very like the taste of avocado C and B with a score of 8.47 and 7.50.
