Abstract
A modified method was used to measure moisture release from apples (Ma lus domestica Borkh.). The method was based on the area of spread of j uice from the freshly cut surface of apple slices on CuSO4-treated fil ter papers, measured as a ratio of the surface area of apple slice. A trained sensory panel of seven people rated four apple samples for jui ciness over 10 sessions. From averaged panel ratings and transformed f ilter paper ratios, a logistic curve was fitted with an R-2 of 0.92.
