Summary

THE EFFECT OF LOW-ETHYLENE CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE STORAGE (LCA) ON THE PRODUCTION OF 22 ODOUR-ACTIVE VOLATILES IN < MCINTOSH > AND < CORTLAND > APPLES WAS INVESTIGATED. MOST VOLATILES WERE PRODUCED NORMALLY DURING RIPENING OF THE FRUIT AFTER LCA STORAGE. ALTHOUGH SEVERAL VOLATILES WERE PRODUCED AT A LOWER RATE DURING RIPENING OF THE FRUIT IN AIR AFTER LCA THAN DURING RIPENING IMMEDIATELY AFTER HARVEST, THIS CANNOT BE ATTRIBUTED ENTIRELY TO THE ACTION OF LCA. VOLATILES THAT WERE FOUND TO BE SUPPRESSED BY THE ACTION OF LCA: 3% O2 + 3% CO2 + 94% N2 AT 276.3 K (3.3 DEG C), 1-6 PPM ETHYLENE, FOR UP TO 8 MONTHS, ARE METHYL BUTANOATE, PROPYL BUTANOATE, BUTYL 2-METHYLBUTANOATE, HEXYL 2-METHYLBUTANOATE, BUTYL HEXANOATE AND HEXYL HEXANOATE.
