abstract: The research was carried out on fruits gathered in chosen orchards situated in towns of the province of Lublin: Łęczna, Wola Sernicka (areas up to 2 ha), Góry Markuszowskie, Stryjno (5-10 ha areas), Puławy and Lublin (areas more than 10 ha). The highest concentration of dry matter was determined in the flesh (15.50% d.m.) and the skin (23.77% d.m.) of Szampion apples from small orchards in Stryjno, while in the flesh and skin of Jonica apples about 20% lower content of dry matter was reported compared to the flesh and skin of Szampion apples. In both of the analysed varieties of apples a higher nutritional content was found in the skin than in the flesh. The highest differences where noted in the content of crude fibre. The skin of analysed apples had 3 to 4-times more nutritional contents than the flesh of apples. The highest nutrition for Jonica was found in the apples produced in the orchards in Puławy, Łęczna and Stryjno. However, among the Szampion apples the most valuable were the apples obtained from the orchards situated in Stryjno and Góry Markuszowskie.
