Sažetak
The variations between night and day temperatures in Žrnovnica, as well as other agroecological conditions make it adequate for apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) growing. The aim of this research was to characterize pomologically and chemically apple cultivars grown in this area and to estimate the potential of the cultivar ‘Žrnovska’. The weight, length and width of fruit, dry matter content, total acidity, starch, maturity index, pH, potassium content, polyphenols and flavonoids were determined on fruit samples of 'Idared', 'Gloster', 'Golden Delicious', 'Red Delicious' and 'Žrnovska' cultivar. The cultivar ‘Red Delicious’ had the highest fruit weight (192,30g), ‘Žrnovska’ cultivar the minimum while no differences were observed between other cultivars. Fruits of
‘Žrnovska’ cultivar, in comparison with other cultivars, had the highest firmness as well as total polyphenol and flavonoid content. According to these results it is necessary to conserve and to promote ‘Žrnovska’ cultivar as a locally recognized product.
