The apples analyzed were produced in two different production modes: conventional and biological, to verify in the extent to which these variables influenced the results. The data obtained enabled us to conclude that the chemical properties: moisture content, total and reducing sugars, protein, and ash, were influenced by the production mode in different ways, depending on the cultivar. As to the textural properties estimated, the results showed that the cultivar 'Lila' was the one that presented the greatest similarity when comparing the conventional with the biological modes of production. Furthermore, it was possible to observe that the production mode did not significantly influence the fiber content in the cultivars of apples analyzed. 收起
