Summary

Apples were harvested twice at 14-day intervals; early-harvested apples were stored in a CA (1-2% CO2 + 2-3% O2) immediately after harvest (standard CO), while late-harvested apples were stored in air, in standard CA or in CA after 4 weeks in air at 0 °C (delayed CA). Fruits were removed from the store at 15-day intervals and their metabolic rates were evaluated. The incidence and the severity of browning symptoms were higher in standard CA fruits than in delayed CA fruits, while fruits stored in air were mostly sound. Data partially supported the theory that retained potential of energy metabolism during storage might reduce the susceptibility to internal browning.
