This study was conducted on 20 apricot varieties in genetic resource parcels of the Malatya Apricot Research
Institute Directorate in 2016. Turkey has a share of 75% in dried apricots production of the world. Malatya,
known as capital of the apricot in the country, produces almost all of the dry apricot in Turkey. The cultivation
of table apricot has been neglected in Malatya which is the World leader in dry apricot production. Thanks to its
favorable climatic conditions, our this province producing apricot which has rich flavor and aroma can also
achieve the success in the table varieties as in the varieties suitable for drying. In this study, which we aimed to
evaluate the table apricot potential of Malatya, erly growing apricot varieties were used as material. The

study, The amounts of β-carotene were between 17.63 - 87.70 ppm, fructose were 0.130 - 0.750 g/10 mL,
glucose were 0.298 - 1.182 g/10 mL and sucrose were 0.156 - 0.388 g/10 mL.
