Abstract

The nutritional value of fruits chiefly depends on the quality & quantity of nutritive substances. Various fungi give rise rots in fruits
of papaya. The fungi are very selective in their nutritional requirements. They either colonize on fruit surface or breaks enriched
complex nutrients. In this study, five fungus were isolated from papaya which are responsive to great loss in nutrients especially proteins and carotenoids. Also, sugar content reduced, while quantity of simple sugars is interestingly increased during fungal infection.
