Apples belong to the Rosaceae family and have been a popular fruit for consumers since ancient times due to their biochemical properties. The Gala series apple varieties are widely grown worldwide and are among the most popular on supermarket shelves. In recent years, the Gala Gio apple variety has been introduced. It is an early-ripening apple with dark red skin, attractive ap-pearance, and high commercial value. As with all fruits, total phenols, antioxidants, and soluble solids are important ripening criteria for apple varieties. In this study, total phenols, antioxidants, and soluble solids were analyzed in the fruits of the Gala Gio apple variety. The study found that the total phenols in Gala Gio were 30.72 mg/100 g GAE, the antioxidants were 35.24%, and the soluble solid contents were 13.8%. Additionally, a total of 26 volatile aroma compounds were identified in the study, including 1 aldehyde, 10 alcohols, 14 esters, and 1 ketone. Among the volatile compounds, alcohols and esters were identified as the predominant compounds. Among the ester group, butanoic acid, 3-methyl-, 3-methylbutyl ester (27.44%), and isoamyl butyrate (25.20%) were the most commonly detected compounds, while within the alcohol group, 1-buta-nol, 3-methyl-, acetate (8.26%) was the most commonly detected compound.
