This study evaluated 10 grafted tamarind cultivars grown under semi\u2010arid conditions in Gujarat, India, over four seasons (2020\u20132024) to assess morphological, yield, biochemical, and mineral traits and to identify superior genotypes using multivariate approaches. Significant varietal differences (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) were observed for most traits. Goma Prateek exhibited superior pod length (15.0\u2009cm), pulp weight (9.21\u2009g), vitamin C (24.1\u2009mg 100\u2009g\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    ), total phenols (67.9\u2009mg 100\u2009g\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    ), total flavonoids (35.5\u2009mg 100\u2009g\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    ), antioxidant activity (89.4%), calcium (0.75%), and iron (0.24%). Pratisthan showed the highest pulp percentage (49.8%) and real pulp value (5.13). Genotypic correlations revealed strong associations among pulp weight, real pulp value, pod weight, and mineral traits. Principal component analysis explained 98.90% of total variability in the first eight components, with PC1 (27.40%) associated mainly with yield traits and PC2 (20.60%) with pulp quality attributes. Cluster analysis grouped cultivars into three distinct clusters, highlighting substantial divergence; Sweet Type and Goma Prateek showed the greatest genetic distance. Overall, Goma Prateek, Ajanta, and Pratisthan emerged as promising cultivars combining yield and nutritional quality. The integrated evaluation of morphological, biochemical, and mineral traits provides a robust framework for tamarind breeding and cultivar selection under semi\u2010arid conditions.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/fsn3.71754","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,13]],"date-time":"2026-04-13T05:31:46Z","timestamp":1776058306000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Biochemical, Mineral, and Morphological Properties of Indian Tamarind (\n                    <i>Tamarindus indica<\/i>\n                    L.)"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-1885-6861","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daya Shankar","family":"Mishra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Crop Improvement ICAR\u2010CIAH RS Central Horticultural Experiment Station  Godhra Gujarat India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0786-0375","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vikas","family":"Yadav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Crop Improvement ICAR\u2010CIAH RS Central Horticultural Experiment Station  Godhra Gujarat India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0932-5990","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lalu Prasad","family":"Yadav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Crop Improvement ICAR\u2010CIAH RS Central Horticultural Experiment Station  Godhra Gujarat India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8238-0219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jagadish","family":"Rane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICAR\u2010Central Institute for Arid Horticulture  Bikaner Rajasthan India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9936-1783","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Varre Venkata","family":"Apparao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Crop Improvement ICAR\u2010CIAH RS Central Horticultural Experiment Station  Godhra Gujarat India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1604-5401","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kanupriya","family":"Chaturvedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Fruit Crops ICAR\u2010Indian Institute of Horticultural Research  Bengaluru Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5165-7954","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prakashbhai","family":"Ravat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Crop Improvement ICAR\u2010CIAH RS Central Horticultural Experiment Station  Godhra Gujarat India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3145-2849","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prashant","family":"Kaushik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vegetable Science Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University  Hisar Haryana India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0790-4558","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prakash","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICAR\u2010Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute (IASRI)  New Delhi India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3228-8657","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yazgan","family":"Tun\u00e7","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Republic of T\u00fcrkiye, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, General Directorate of Agricultural Research and Policies Hatay Olive Research Institute Directorate  Hassa Hatay T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6354-445X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Khadivi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Horticultural Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Resources Arak University  Arak Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,12]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","first-page":"49","article-title":"A Comparative Evaluation of the Chemical Properties of Wild Tamarind (\n                     Tamarindus indica\n                   L.)
