Abstract A modified method was used to measure moisture
release from apples (Malus domestica Borkh.). The method was based on
the area of spread of juice from the freshly cut surface of apple slices on
CuSO4-treated filter papers, measured as a ratio of the surface area of apple
slice. A trained sensory panel of seven people rated four apple samples for
juiciness over 10 sessions. From averaged panel ratings and transformed filter
paper ratios, a logistic curve was fitted with an R2 of 0.92.
Keywords filter papers; juiciness; sensory; texture
