A chemometric study was carried out in order to typify cider apples according to their degree of ripening. Several chemical variables (sugars, organic acids, amino acids, polyphenols, and pectins) were analyzed using HPLC and FIA methods. Univariate data treatment was not sufficient to allow the apple varieties to be differentiated according to their stage of ripening. Two linear combinations o...

At Kiviks Musteri AB, situated in the southeast part of Scania, a wide variety of products based on fruits and berries, are produced. One of these products is base apple wine, which is used for the production of cider and mulled wine and also is sold to other producers of cider. A foaming problem has occurred at some customers when the cider is bottled, and this problem has been traced to the b...

Patulin is a secondary metabolite produced primarily by the fungus Penicillium expansum, responsible for blue mold disease on apples. It found in apple products including cider when juice added after fermentation. In present study, two hundred and twenty-five cider-apples of variety “Bedan”, cultivated Brittany France, were sampled from orchard during harvesting until storage step, right before...

Lactobacillus collinoides is a lactic acid bacterium commonly found in fermenting apple juice. Although this bacterium is not particularly involved in malolactic conversion, the presence of L. collinoides in cider may have serious consequences on the product. L. collinoides is indeed considered to be responsible for the transformation of glycerol to 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA), a precursor...

Hard cider is an important and growing part of the U.S. beverage market. Previous research suggests there opportunity for growers interested in selling locally grown cider-specific apple ( Malus domestica ) varieties. However, face production, distribution, marketing challenges. This article fills a gap literature using survey data from four states. We find that are expanding production to supp...

The apple proliferation (AP) disease is spread mostly by two psyllids. Each species plays a predominant role as AP vector that changes regionally. Thus, there is an urgent need to identify the AP vectors in each region where the disease is present. This research aimed at identifying the psyllid community in apple orchards from Asturias (NW Spain) and studying their possible role in AP transmiss...
