Alley E. Watada, Judith A. Abbott, Robert E. Hardenburg

Abstract

Abstract A profile was developed to describe sensory characteristics of ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Miller Spur’, ‘Redspur’, ‘Rome Beauty’, and ‘York Imperial’ apples ( Malus domestica Borkh.). Ten sensory attributes were selected and the intensities of the attributes were plotted on a circular graph. The patterns of the plots differed among cultivars and patterns of some cultivars changed with successive harvests and storage of apples. The patterns were used to describe the general sensory characteristics of apples.
