Summary Comparison of slices of the apple cultivars Bramley's Seedling, Suntan and East Malling A 3022 showed that both objective and subjective assessments were considerably influenced by: (1) preparatory procedure (blanching time, sugar or malic‐acid additions), and (2) storage (whether as whole fruit or as previously prepared frozen slices). The addition of sugar and acid and method of storage produced a more marked effect than differences due to cultivar. Although Bramley's Seedling could be distinguished objectively from the other two cultivars, primarily on the basis of appearance, this had little influence when it came to making hedonic assessments. Products from Suntan and East Malling A 3022 were considered at least as good in a number of respccts as those from Bramley's Seedling.
