“…Varieties often differ considerably in content of TA which affects the taste of an apple. The same trend is observed in our old varieties in this research, but also in other apple varieties of the Balkan region (Jacopic et al, 2012;Šavikin et al, 2014). Excellent adaptability of indigenous varieties to changing climatic conditions and stress is a result of production of secondary metabolites in greater quantities than in commercial varieties, resulting in better nutritional value of these varieties, as well as in a richer flavor (Lutaladio et al, 2010).…”

“…Large variations in the content of total phenols in the fruits of the same apple trees, monitored in two consecutive seasons, were shown in a study of 19 varieties of apples grown in Romania, where the difference reached up to 800 mg GAE/100 g FW (Delian et al, 2011). It is interesting that phenols are differently concentrated in the bark, seeds and flesh of the fruit (Francini and Sebastiani, 2013;Šavikin et al, 2014). The most common phenolic compounds in the apples are flavonoids the concentration of which mostly depends on the variety of apples (Yuri et al, 2014).…”

“…The content of total flavonoids in the study Mitic et al (2013) ranged from 37 to 112 mg CE/100g FW, which is less than that of our indigenous varieties where only three varieties had less than 100 mg CE/100g FW. Due to a low content of vitamin C, compared with literature data (Kevers et al, 2011;Lee et al, 2003;Šavikin et al, 2014), it is obvious that good free radical scavenging activity of our tested varieties is a result of high content of phenols and flavonoids, which is in line with previous findings that vitamin C represents only a small portion of the total antioxidant activity in apples (Lee et al, 2003). Indigenous varieties of Bosnia and Herzegovina, like our analyzed varieties, had similar content of vitamin C, about 1 mg/100 g FW, while the commercial cultivars had the contents of L-ascorbic acid up to 4 mg/100 g FW (Begić-Akagić et al, 2011).…”

The assessment of quality of old apple varieties was made in order to preserve and use these germplasm in the area of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The characterization was done for ten old varieties of apples selected on the basis of good characteristics of sensory analysis. The following parameters were considered: fruit weight, fruit length and width, stalk length and width, fruit flesh firmness; soluble solids content and total dry matter content of the fruit juice; pH, titratable acidity (TA), vitamin C, total phenolics, total flavonoids and antioxidant potential evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging assay. Statistical analysis was performed separately for sensory, pomological and biochemical characterization (in two consecutive years) by analysis of variance. Only traits such as weight, width and height of the fruit were the biggest in 'Vinjugara' which had a low content of titratable acidity whereby it could be singled out as an acceptable variety for consumers. 'Đedovača' had the highest content of phenols (1711.8 mg GAE/100 g of fruit weight), which is in complete relationship with good free radical scavenging activity (11.1 mg of fresh fruit/ml). 'Kolačara' and 'Gospoinjača' were distinguished as particularly interesting for good nutritional characteristics, primarily the content of phenols, flavonoids and free radical scavenging ability, but also for suitable storage characteristics, °Brix content and firmness. Due to favourable pomological and biochemical characteristics these varieties were recommended to be included in the breeding program that will result in the enrichment of germplasm of the apples from these areas.

Objective The aim of the study was in vitro and in vivo characterization of cosmetic cream with 6% of standardized wild apple fruit extract, stabilized by conventional non‐ionic emulsifier‐CEW, in order to determine the influence of emulsifiers (conventional vs. biodegradable) on the characteristics of creams and their effects on the skin. Methods Organoleptic and physico‐chemical (pH values and electrical conductivity) analysis was performed, determination of fruit acids‐FAs content (using HPLC analysis) and estimation of its antioxidant activity‐AA (using DPPH test) during 180 days. In vivo study included following examinations: screening of safety profile (after creams application under occlusion during 24 h at human skin); skin moisturizing potential, transepidermal water loss‐TEWL, skin pH after 28 days of cream application and hypopigmentation efficacy 7 days of cream application at artificially induced skin hyperpigmentation. Results Investigated cosmetic cream‐CEW showed satisfactory organoleptic, physico‐chemical characteristics, stability, FAs content (0.13%) and AA (19.25 ± 0.67 %RSC) after preparation, which remained unchanged over the study period. In vivo investigation revealed absence of skin irritation after CEW's application under occlusion. An increase of skin moisturization (after 14 days ΔEC was 18.52 ± 11.51 and after 28 days of applications 16.52 ± 9.36) during 28 day‐study, with unchanged TEWL and skin pH values was shown. Decrease of melanin index was revealed, too (after 7 days ΔMI was −31.40 ± 16.50). Conclusion Cosmetic cream stabilized by conventional emulsifier showed better antioxidant potential and weaker moisturizing and hypopigmentation effects related to the cream with same composition but stabilized by biodegradable emulsifiers. Based on all mentioned above, investigated cosmetic cream might be considered for potential use as modern, stable, safe and efficient cosmetic product in the prevention and/or treatment of oxidative stress‐related skin changes and/or damages, for moisturization of dry, even irritated skin as well as for lightening of hyperpigmented skin.

Fuji apple storage time rapid determination method using visible/near-infrared (Vis/NIR) spectroscopy was studied in this paper. Vis/NIR diffuse reflection spectroscopy responses to samples were measured for 6 days. Spectroscopy data were processed by stochastic resonance (SR). Principal component analysis (PCA) was utilized to analyze original spectroscopy data and SNR eigen value. Results demonstrated that PCA could not totally discriminate Fuji apples using original spectroscopy data. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) spectrum clearly classified all apple samples. PCA using SNR spectrum successfully discriminated apple samples. Therefore, Vis/NIR spectroscopy was effective for Fuji apple storage time rapid discrimination. The proposed method is also promising in condition safety control and management for food and environmental laboratories.
