Top fruit flavor and taste are related to the level of soluble solids in the fruit, which are mainly sugars. Total Soluble Solids (TSS) is therefore of extreme importance to measure the quality of top fruit. Referred to as oBrix, TSS is assessed by refractometry or near-infrared spectroscopy and can be used to check fruit maturity and ripeness, important to determine harvest timing. A balanced crop nutrition can influence TSS content of fruit.
Apple acidity is a relevant characteristic for both fresh and processing markets. It is one of the main group compounds determining flavour. The higher the level of acidity, the more tart the flavour and the better the thirst-quenching properties of processed soft drinks.
Magnesium has a slight effect on fruit acidity.
