Sensory Evaluation of Fruit of Some Scab Resistant Apple Varieties Senzorička evaluacija plodova jabuke nekih sorata otpornih na čađavu krastavost

Fruit quality of five scab resistant apple cultivars (Enterprise, Liberty, Nova Easygro, Sir Prize and Rewena) suitable for organic growing systems were tested. External and internal fruit quality was assessed through standard parameters (fruit weight, firmness, soluble solids, malic acid) and sensorial quality by panel tests (fruit size, shape and colour; hardness, texture, juiciness, sweet/acid taste, aroma and overall flavour). Large differences in sensory scores for particular quality attributes were found between cultivars. The hedonic scores showed significantly lower preference for tested scab resistant apple cultivars in comparison to ‘Jonagold’ as the reference cultivar.
