Summary

For all investigated cultivars, the juiciness of stored apples was positively correlated with fruit firmness; however, some maximum in juice release during pressing for very firm fruits was noticed. The juiciness of apples stored under CA and ULO conditions was higher than for those stored in a cold room. Moreover, the juiciness of apples from late harvest was higher compared to those harvested earlier. During the sensory assessment, as in instrumental measurement, the juiciness intensity sensation generally enhanced with increasing fruit firmness, although at a higher fruit firmness a tendency towards lowering the rating for juiciness intensity sensation was observed.
