Abstract: 【Objective】 The aim of this study was to clarify the relations among the main indices of apple physicochemical quality (APQ), to establish their scientific grading standards, and to identify the typical indices of APQ. 【Method】 Seven indices of APQ including fruit firmness (FF), titratable acidity (TA), total soluble solid (TSS), soluble sugar (SS), total soluble solid/titratable acidity (TSS/TA), soluble sugar/titratable acidity (SS/TA), and vitamin C (Vc), were determined. Relations among indices were investigated by correlation analysis and regression analysis. Indices were graded by probability grading. The typical indices were identified by principal component analysis and systematic cluster analysis. 【Result】 FF, TA, TSS, and SS distributed normally, while TSS/TA, SS/TA, and Vc also did so, only if 22-24 cultivars were removed. All indices were divided into 5 grades with normal distribution, and the cultivar proportions of 5 grades were, respectively, 7.4%, 23.9%, 40.1%, 18.2%, and 10.4 %. There were significant correlation between TSS and SS, TSS/TA and SS/TA, and TSS/TA and SS/TA with TA, and the correlation coefficient were up to 0.8343, 0.9844, -0.8788, and -0.8597. Among TSS, SS, TSS/TA and SS/TA, there were 4 significant three-variable linear equations with an prediction error below 2%. And there were 4 significant linear regression equations among TSS, SS, TSS/TA, and SS/TA, with an prediction error of 4.3%-5.6 %. Seven indices were simplified into 5 (FF, SS, TA, SS/TA, and Vc). 【Conclusion】All the 7 indices studied could be divided into 5 grades with normal distribution. TSS, as well as SS, TSS/TA, and SS/TA, could be predicted by other index or indices. APQ could be effectively evaluated by 5 indices.
