Abstract
The composite specific gravity (SG) of ‘Jonathan’ apples decreased and size increased with each of 3 successive harvest dates. The SG of all but the least dense fruit decreased during storage. Correlation r values of some raw product attributes are shown. Analysis of sauce made from fruits of different SG and stored for up to 4 months showed that separation according to SG at early and late harvest dates may have some value in obtaining a higher quality product.
