A modified hypothesis on the role of conjugated trienes in superficial scald development on stored apples.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Three experiments were conducted using "Cortland" and "Delicious" apples (Malus domestica Borkh). Fruit varying widely in superficial scald susceptibility, because of either endogenous or experimentally induced conditions, were stored for various intervals at 0 deg C and evaluated for scald development at 20 deg C. Samples were extracted periodically in hexane, and ultraviolet absorption spectra of the extracts were used to evaluate alpha-farnesene and conjugated triene relationships to scald development. Conjugated triene concentrations were calculated using each of the three conjugated triene absorption maxima. Results are given.
