The article provides data on the organoleptic and physico-chemical assessment of the quality of pumpkin grown in Azerbaijan. In 2018, we have collected two varieties of pumpkins on the territory of Azerbaijan: Palav-kadu 268 and Perekhvatka. When assessing the organoleptic characteristics of the pumpkin, appearance, maturity, size, and damage were determined. The fruits of these varieties were ripe, whole, healthy, unpolluted, disease-free, with the color and shape of the fruits characteristic of botanical varieties, with a stem, i.e. fully comply with the requirements of the standard GOST 7975 - 68. Organoleptic studies have shown that the pumpkin varieties studied: Palav-kadu 268 and Interception conform to the requirements and standards of GOST 7975-68, deviations from the standard were not observed and these varieties of pumpkin are reasonable to be sold to the public. From the physico-chemical parameters in the studied varieties of pumpkins, the content of water and carotene were determined. A study of the chemical composition of pumpkin varieties in 2018 showed that the pumpkin variety Palav-kadu 268 contains moisture 90%, carotene 1.6 mg; a grade Perekhvatka 88% moisture, 1.9 mg carotene.
