ABSTRACT
Apples are a healthy and nutritious part of the human diet. They provide antioxidants, polyphenolics, vitamins and fibre. Consumption of apple products has been shown to be associated with a reduced risk of major diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease and asthma (Boyer, 2004; Hyson, 2011). Apple consumption may also improve human responses to Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive decline due to ageing, diabetes, weight management and bone health (Hyson, 2011).
