ShareDevelopment of mealiness in apples under storage and shelf life conditions.
Author(s) : SMEDT V. de, BARREIRO P., ORTIZ C., et al.
Summary
Mealiness is probably related to the ratio of cell rupture to cell separation. A definition for mealiness could be a combination of a lack of crispiness, hardness and juiciness. These three attributes can be measured. A mealiness scale has been described in the literature combining the three measurements. The objective of the paper was to evaluate the influence of storage and shelf life conditions on the development of mealiness.
