Summary

Two cultivars of apple fruits, Malus domestica cvs. "Golden Delicious" and "Granny Smith" were heated for 4 days at 38 deg C and then held for a week at 20 or at 0 deg C. Measurements suggest that the properties of apple flesh sensed during mastication are most closely related to the properties derived from the compression test of strength and stiffness.
