Abstract
Abstracts A laboratory Experiment was carried out to determine the physic-chemical composition of Red Delicious and Amri apple varieties under fresh and stored condition, which were determined on October 30, November 30, and December 30. The physical and chemical characteristics determined were, fruit length and diameter, single fruit weight, juice percentage, total soluble solids (TSS), acidity percentage, ascorbic acid, reducing and non-reducing sugar percentage. It is obvious from the results that the varieties had significant differences for fruit length, fruit diameter and single fruit weight. Juice percentage remained unaffected due to varieties. Variety Red Delicious was considered to be better in physical properties when its comparison was made with variety Amri. Observation intervals had significant effect on fruit length and juice percentage, while fruit diameter and single fruit weight remained unaffected. The result mean interval of Red Delicious observations TSS % (14.29), Acidity % (0.42), Ascorbic acid (5.61), Reducing sugar % (7.08) and Non-reducing sugar % (2.54) was obtained as compare to variety Amri the result mean interval TSS % (14.21), Acidity % (0.36), Ascorbic acid (4.43Mg), Reducing sugar % (6.81) and Non-reducing sugar % (4.08) was obtained. The result illustrated that for chemical analysis varieties had significant effect on acidity percentage, ascorbic acid and non-reducing sugars, while T.S.S and reducing sugars remained unaffected due to different varieties. All the chemical properties i.e. T.S.S, acidity, ascorbic acid, reducing sugars and non-reducing sugars affected significantly by observation intervals.

Summary
1.The data and the statistical analysis illustrated that the difference in fruit length of different varieties and intervals were significant (P≤ 0.01), while non-significant for interaction between varieties and intervals It is obvious from the results (Table 1) that apple variety Red Delicious produced fruits of greater length (5.93) cm, as compared to Amri, (5.69 cm). Diameter of fruit The result pertaining to fruit diameter of two apple varieties as affected by different time intervals are recorded in Table-2.The results and the analysis of variance revealed that e differences in fruit diameter were significant (P ≤ 0.05) FOR varieties, while nonsignificant for time intervals and interaction between varieties and intervals It can be observed from the results (Table 2) that apple variety Red Delicious produced fruits of greater diameter (6.64 cm), as compared to Amri (6.08 cm).In case Of Intervals Fruit Analyzed on December 30th, produced comparatively greater diameter (6.58cm) than the fruits analyzed on November 30th (6.37 cm) or October 30th (6.13 cm). The coefficient of variation per fruit sample was 7.66 percent
