Relevance. Apples and apple juices are healthy food products with a large amount of biologically active substances. The polyphenols contained in them are powerful natural antioxidants. They prevent the development of many chronic heart diseases and have many pharmacological properties. Thus, polyphenols increase the resistance of blood vessels, improve blood circulation, protect elastin and collagen fibers, and serve as fundamental elements supporting skin tissues. Apples contain such practically valuable substances as pectins. At the same time, in fresh apples, protopectin prevails over soluble pectin and makes up 52.3– 97.0% of the total amount. Methods. The objects of the study were the fruits of apple varieties: Voskhod, Talgar Bayterek, Sarkyt and Saya, as well as pear varieties: Bostandyk, Nagima, Sylyk, Zhazdyk. The fruits of apples and pears were harvested from September to mid-October 2021 in Saryagash district, in the farm "Tenge". Experimental data were obtained in the laboratory of the South-Kazakhstan University named after M. Auezov. At the first stage of the study, the quality of apples was determined in accordance with the requirements of GOST R 54697–2011. At the second stage, physico-chemical parameters were determined according to standard methods. The content of soluble solids was determined by the refractometric method using a refractometer, at ambient temperature 20±0.5 °C, The mass fraction of dry substances was determined by the refractive index. The sum of sugars — according to the Bertrand method. Result. Studies have established that the fruits of all studied varieties of apples and pears grown in Kazakhstan, according to organoleptic and physico-chemical indicators, contain high levels of chemicals and phenolic compounds, but the most valuable source of biologically active substances were apples of variety Baiterek and pears of variey Zhazdyk.
