Notes:
The proximate composition and the water soluble vitamin and elemental composition of Red Delicious apples purchased from six marketing locations at marketing times near maximum and minimum product availability was determined. Ascorbic acid, niacin, vitamin B6, thiamin, folacin, Ca and Na were significantly (P 〈 0.01) higher in apples purchased in May (minimum availability) compared to those purchased in November (maximum availability). Values for ascorbic acid, vitamin B6, folacin, Ca and Fe were lower and Mg and Na were higher than tabulated values. The proximate composition and mean values for other micronutrients approximated those in Handbook 8.
