Summary

Golden Delicious apples were stored in normal atmosphere and in various controlled atmospheres in which oxygen and carbon dioxide contents were held at 10, 20 or 30 l/m3 for 3, 5 or 7 months. Following storage, fruits were kept at 20 °C for 1, 5 or 10 days, after which quality parameters were determined and aroma components were obtained and analysed. The highest emission of volatile components was obtained after 5 months of storage. Esters were the main compounds released after cold storage in all conditions. Low-oxygen atmospheres had beneficial effects on fruit firmness, titratable acidity and colour. Apples coming from low-oxygen atmospheres gave the highest sensory score after 5 months of cold storage.
