Fruit were analysed every 15 d starting 30 d after full bloom (DAFB) up to 150 DAFB in ‘Delicious’, 135 DAFB in ‘Golden Delicious’, and 120 DAFB in ‘Stayman’. Nonstarch cell wall materials (NSCWM) and nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP) content of apple flesh of all the cultivars decreased during development. During the period between 30 DAFB and 120 DAFB, NSP content of ‘Delicious’, ‘Golden Delicious’, and ‘Stayman’ fruit decreased by 25.2%, 29.0%, and 19.3%, respectively. Relative amount of monosaccharides present in apple fibre also changed during development. Proportions of rhamnose, arabinose, mannose, and galactose decreased during development while the proportions of xylose, glucose and uronic acid increased. Firmness of apple flesh was positively correlated with its NSP content. Firmness was also strongly correlated with the amounts of galactose, gluco...}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF HORTICULTURAL SCIENCE & BIOTECHNOLOGY}, author={Gheyas, F and Blankenship, SM and Young, E and McFeeters, R}, year={1998}, month={Sep}, pages={631–639} }

Fruit samples from each of these cultivars were analysed for non-starch cell wall materials (NSCWM) and non-starch polysaccharides (NSP). NSCWM was further fractionated into soluble and insoluble fibre fractions. Both NSCWM and NSP content were found to be significantly influenced by cultivar. NSCWM content ranged from 19.1 g kg -1 apple flesh in 'Fuji' to 36.2 g kg -1 in 'York'. Mean (± SD) NSCWM content of all the cultivars was 23.1 ± 45 g kg -1 . NSP content of apple flesh ranged from 13.8 g kg -1 in 'McIntosh' to 287 g kg -1 in 'York' with the overall mean for all cultivars being 17.9 ± 4.2 g kg -1 . Relative amount of monosaccharides found in the hydrolysates of apple fibre also varied among cultivars. The greatest difference was observed in galactose content.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE}, author={Gheyas, F and Blankenship, SM and Young, E and McFeeters, R}, year={1997}, month={Nov}, pages={333–340} }
