Chlorophyllase behaviour on Granny Smith apples.
Author(s) : IHL M., ETCHEBERRIGARAY C., BIFANI V.
Summary
Mature Granny Smith apples were stored at 0-1 deg C and 90-95% relative humidity or stored at ambient conditions of 7-18 deg C and 80-90% relative humidity. Chlorophyllase activity increased as the fruits ripened on the tree. During storage over 133 days, chlorophyllase activity remained high in cold-stored fruits but was low in fruits stored at ambient temperature, pH decreased and total-soluble sugar increased but there were no differences between storage treatments. Fruits softened more rapidly under ambient conditions than in cold storage.
