The aim of this research was to determine the physical and physicochemical characteristics of the red rose apple fruits,  that have great economic potential, and will be able to subsidize the cultivation and the appropriate selection, aiming at their use in the production of new products. For the harvest, selected 3 regions of the city of Inhumas Goiás. An average of 5 kg of fruits from each region was collected. Volume, density, height, diameter, pulp yield, physicochemical characterization by determination of pH, total acidity (TA) and total soluble solids (SS) and color by digital image were determined. Considering the results found, the physicochemical characteristics of the red rose apple fruits present considerable pulp yield, reasonable values of total soluble solids and acidity. The properties of the fruits are presented in the desirable standards for the production industrialized products, satisfactory characteristics for industrialization. The informed ones show that the fruit of the red rose apple fruits corresponds to a potential alternative to be used in the industries in the manufacture of jams.
