Summary

The differential effects of 2 colour-improving products, ethephon (an ethylene-releasing compound) and seniphos (a nonethylene-releasing product) were studied in Starking Delicious apples. Ethephon (0.1%) or seniphos (1%) was applied 2 or 3 weeks before commercial harvest. Ethephon- and seniphos-treated fruits showed significant improvements of peel colour associated with sharp increases in anthocyanin and chromaticity values.
