  1. The comparison regarded conventional and organic apples, fruits soon after their purchasing (T1) and after two weeks (T5) and different apple parts including calyx end (CE), stem end (SE), wounded flesh (WF), and peel (PE). This latter comparison was performed for both conventional and organic apples. Significance was determined according to the nonparametric test Permanova and the beta diversity metric Bray Curtis.
  2. a Samples from Conventional and organic apples were analyzed together.
  3. b Samples from both assessment times (T1 and T5) were analyzed together.
