Apples vitamin content

All varieties of pears, even storage varieties, can only be kept for a few weeks without cold storage. They become mealy or their flesh turns brown after a short period of optimum ripeness. This period is particularly short in summer and autumn cultivars. This is why pears are often preserved as tinned fruit, in addition to being eaten as fresh fruit. A few special varieties are used for juice production and for manufacture of fruit brandies. Although they have a lower vitamin content than apples, fully mature, well developed pears are delicious. 

Freezing— The vitamin contents of eight common frozen fruit products (apples, apricots, blueberries, cherries, orange juice concentrate, peaches, raspberries, and strawberries) were found to be lower than those of their fresh counterparts, but higher than those of canned fruit products.This study showed that the average vitamin losses were as follows vitamin A, 37% vitamin B-1 (thiamin), 29% vitamin B-2 (riboflavin), 17% niacin, 15% and vitamin C, 18%. 

The important commercial feature of these juices, especially significant with blackcurrant and tomato juices, is their ascorbic acid (or vitamin C) content, of which loss by oxidation is known to be accelerated both by heat and by metal (particularly copper) contamination. The effect of copper has been carefully investigated for pure ascorbic acid", and more recently ascorbic acid in blackcurrant juice and model systems. There are, however, oxidation inhibitors of different kinds (which may themselves be heat-sensitive) present in various fruits, which give differing results. The presence of metals will also affect flavours", may cause discoloration, and may give rise to clouding effects, as in apple juice. ... 

Important intrinsic quality criteria currently determining the market potential of new apple cultivars are related to the sensory quality such as fruit firmness (crispness) and the sugar and acidity contents. On the other hand, the nutritional composition (e.g. the vitamin or antioxidant contents) is currently not used as a criterion in the choice of cultivars, neither in conventional nor in organic fruit production. The difference in the content of such components between fruit species is in most cases more relevant than between cultivars of the same species (e.g. vitamin C content of oranges versus apples). 

Medium vitamin E content (5-50 miUigmms/100 grams). Alfalfa, apple seeds, asparagus, barley, cabbage, chocolate, coconut oil, groundnut (peanut), groundnut (peanut) oil, olive oil, rose hips, soybean (dry), spinach, wheat germ, yeast. 

Low vitamin E content (0.5-5 milligrams/ 00 grams). Apple, bacon, bean (dry navy), beef, beef liver, blackberry. Brussels sprouts, butter, carrot, cauliflower, cheeses, coconut, corn (maize), corn (maize) meal, eggs, flour (whole wheat), kale, kohlrabi, lamb, lettuce, mustard, oats, oatmeal, olive, parsnip, pea. pear, pepper (sweet), pork, rioe (brown), rye, sweet potato, turnip greens, veal, wheat. 

The data presented here indicate that red fruits, strawberries in particular, have an enormous antioxidant potential in vitro, when eompared with other types of fruits such as citms or apples, for both high anthoeyanin and high vitamin C content, and therefore could represent an excellent source of dietary antioxidants. 

The fruits which are most commonly dried in the United States are apples, apricots, dates, figs, nectarines, peaches, plums, prunes, and seedless grapes. Drying reduces the water content of the fruit to about 24%, which is usually low enough to prevent spoilage. Slow drying of fruits in the sun may result in the destruction of much of the vitamin A and... 

Malay apples have a high water content (91 %) and are low in calories (32 kcal per 100 g) and carbohydrates (8%). They are a fair source of vitamin C. 

Vitamin C content was also raised in Delicious apples and Muscat Hamburg grapes, the protein and fat contents of soybean seeds were increased rmd the amount of nicotine in tobacco was amplified by the application of rare earths. Similarly, the activity of some enzymes and the total chlorophyll content have been found to be enhanced by an increased concentration of rare earths in plant tissue.
