This paper presents the results from a two-year study on fruit quality characteristics of prickly pear accessions belonging to five  Opuntia  species  (O. ficus-indica, O. hyptiacantha, O. inermis, O. linderheimeri  and  O. megacantha)  from a germplasm collection at Texas A&amp;I University. Fruit soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity and ascorbic acid contents were determined using standard procedures. Significant differences in fruit soluble solids and ascorbic acid contents were observed. Accessions belonging to  O. ficus-indica  consistently had the highest soluble solids (&gt; 12%) and ascorbic contents (&gt;24mg/100g) while accessions belonging to  O. lindheimeri  consistently had the lowest soluble solids (&lt;8%) and ascorbic acid contents (&lt; 10mg/100g). Fruit acidity was generally low (&lt;0.19%) for all the species. The results suggest potential for developing prickly pears for the fresh fruit market in south Texas.
