Abstract
Biological active compounds and valuable characteristics of some apple varieties and candidates were measured in our trials. Fruits of ’Rosmerta’, ’Hesztia’, ’Cordelia’ and ’Artemisz’ are recommended to enrich the Hungarian assortments for fresh consumption and choice of new tastes. Based on examined parameters it can be assumed that novel Hungarian resistant varieties are suitable for juice and fruit concentrate production, and due to high pectin content of their remaining pomace these varieties can be raw material of pectin production as well as they are also suitable for jam production mixed with other fruit species. Furthermore, functional food industrial product having high quality can be produced by using novel resistant varieties because of their high pectin and polyphenol content. Beside of their high market value their suitability for growing among orchard conditions is confi rmed by lower costs of production because of less plant protection treatments.

-called civilian diseases mean more serious problems on the basis of speeded up lifestyle of today and unhealthy nutrition
Beside of fresh consumption apple fruit are suitable for producing products having functional effects (Oliveira et al, 2003; Lee and Chan, 2011)
Importance of apples in healthcare can be thanked to its high pectin and polyphenol content
Summary
-called civilian diseases mean more serious problems on the basis of speeded up lifestyle of today and unhealthy nutrition. The results of the international research confirm beneficial effects of fruit species on human health (Wolfe et al, 2003). Apple species can be grown safety, were grown among Hungarian climate conditions, have special aroma and excellent fruit quality. Thanks to these reasons apple is grown in the largest volume of Hungary (KSH, 2011, 2012). Fresh consumption of fruit species having significant biological activity as well as breeding for industrial purposes becomes ones of the most important aims in the future. My null hypothesis is to decide whether apple varieties could be the important keystones in health-conscious diet of Hungarian society
