Title: Sensory Evaluation of 'Gala' and 'Jonagold' Strains
Authors: F. Kappel, M. Dever and M. Bouthillier
Abstract:
The differences in sensory characteristics for 4 strains each of 'Gala' and 'Jonagold' apples were characterized by trained judges using the technique of descriptive analysis with deviation from reference. There were no significant differences in the taste or texture attributes evaluated for either cultivar except for acidity of the 'Gala' strains. Judges were able to perceive differences in the taste and texture attributes among the 3 fruit maturities that were evaluated for the 'Gala' strains. Significant differences in visual attributes were found among the strains for both cultivars.
