The present investigation was carried out at the Horticultural Processing Laboratory, Krantikari Debridhur College of Horticulture and Research Station, Jagdalpur, Bastar (C.G.) during the session 2024-2025 to assess the physical and chemical properties of raw mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Langra under Bastar district. The physical parameters recorded were fruit length (10.434 cm), fruit width (7.658 cm), fruit weight (221.167 g), shape (oblong), colour (dark green) and specific gravity (1.026). The chemical composition of raw mango was also analyzed, revealing ascorbic acid content of 133.81 mg/100g, total soluble solids (12.46 °Brix), TSS/ Acid ratio (13.39%), total sugars (4.39%), reducing sugars (2.86%), non-reducing sugar (1.53%) and titratable acidity (0.939%). The findings provide a comprehensive profile of the physico-chemical characteristics of Langra mango, which may serve as a reference for its utilization in processing, value addition and nutritional studies.
