Market demands for apple fruits are increasing. Beside fruits for fresh consumption and processing, in the last few years is also increasing the need for fresh-cut fruits. The aim of this work was to evaluate the fruit quality of 6 traditional apple genotypes from Western Serbia (‘Slatkača’, ‘Đulabija’, ‘Zelenika’, ‘Prstenka’, ‘Šumatovka’ and ‘Žutica’) through the analysis of various morphological and biochemical characteristics and to propose the potential use that will respond to the market demands. Morphological parameters of quality were measured: fruit weight, height and width, shape index, fruit firmness and fruit stalk length. Among biochemical components of quality, total soluble solids and titratable acidity were measured and used to calculate flavour index. Sensory analysis included parameters: fruit appearance, taste and aroma. Based on results, fruits of selected apple genotypes were divided into three clusters, which reflect their best potential to use for a different purp...ose. Genotypes ‘Đulabija’ and ‘Prstenka’ were the best rated by sensory analysis. It shows their potential as apples for fresh consumption, which are grouped in Cluster I. In Cluster II are grouped genotypes suitable for processing - ‘Šumatovka’ and ‘Žutica’. These genotypes have good soluble solids content, but low rating of appearance and taste, due to higher sourness or sweetness. Genotypes ‘Slatkača’ and ‘Zelenika’ had lower ratings regarding the appearance, but have good aroma and taste, which makes them suitable for Cluster III. Fruits from this cluster are suitable for fresh-cut apples. This research showed great diversity and the potential of traditional varieties of apples for different uses. Further research should evaluate their fruit quality in detail, especially regarding different climate conditions and pomotechnical measures that can improve quality of fruits.
