Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is one among the widely consumed fruits of the world and is grown throughout the tropics and subtropics. EU markets are highly conscious of fruit quality and all markets either big or small have a preference to hermaphrodite pear shaped fruits at 50-70% yellow on arrival at the market.
The cultivation in India is spread over fifteen states and Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Assam and Gujarat are the major papaya growing states. The challenges faced by the industry are more towards post production phase than the production phase.
Green, orange, or yellow fruit, often quite large and weighing several pounds. Fruits tend to be very fleshy, with an inside cavity containing numerous seeds. Flesh is sweet, sometimes mildly acidic, with a texture much like that of a melon.
Generally, the Papaya is oval to nearly round, somewhat pyriform, or elongated 22 to 30 cm long and 10 to 12 thick. The skin of the ripe fruit is waxy and thin, with colors ranging from green to yellow to orange. The thick wall of succulent flesh becomes aromatic, yellow, orange or various shades of salmon or red. The flesh is juicy, sweetish and somewhat like a cantaloupe in flavor. Attached lightly to the wall by soft, white, fibrous tissue, are usually numerous small, black, ovoid, seeds.
