Analysis of Apple Fruit (Malus × domestica Borkh.) Quality Attributes Obtained from Organic and Integrated Production Systems

The aim of this study was to compare total phenolic content (TPC), radical-scavenging activity (RSA), anthocyanin (TAC), sugar and polyphenolic profiles two apple cultivars (‘Discovery’ ‘Red Aroma Orelind’) from organic integrated production systems in climatic conditions Western Norway. Sixteen sugars four alcohols 19 polyphenols were found the peel, but less detected pulp. peel both apples had significantly higher TPC RSA than apples, while TAC integrated. Sucrose glucose levels apples; fructose cultivar dependent minor fruits. most abundant compound tested quercetin 3-O-galactoside, chlorogenic acid Regarding polyphenols, phloretin, phloridzin, protocatechuic acid, baicalein naringenin apple, kaempferol 3-O-glucoside, syringic In conclusion, ‘Discovery’ Orelind’ bioavailability health related compounds
