Abstract
Tinospora cordifolia (Menispermaceae) fruits were
studied for pigment profile, carbohydrate content,
weight and water content during ontogeny. Carotenoid
pigment lycopene appeared in yellow fruits and
attained maximum level in matured (red) fruits
whereas chlorophyll a and b disappeared after intermediate
(yellow) stage. In addition, isoquinoline alkaloid
berberine was more in early (green) stage than
intermediate and matured stages. Carbohydrate content
increased 1.3-fold on maturation, whereas weight
and water content did not change significantly.
